Spyderco

Endura4 - Lots of blade, relatively small/slim package
Para1 - a classic spyderco with an amazing lock and nice ergos
Military - super light weight for its size strong liner lock
Para2 - nice refinement to the para1, lots of new pretty colors and nifty steels
Yojimbo - great MBC with strong lock
 
Up to post 41, I make the top five to be the Paramilitary, Military, Sage series, Endura, and Delica, in that order with no regard for generation or special scale/steel options. I've already got a PM2, Military, and Endura and was planning on getting a Sage 1 next. A little validation of my choices is always nice. :)

Anyway, I'll throw in the:
Paramilitary 2
Endura4 FFG
Caly3
Ladybug3

Probably in that order; they've just been what's impressed me the most so far.
 
The top five for me are the ones I liked the best:

Zulu
Gayle Bradley
Caly 3 CF/ZDP
Stretch II CF/ZDP
Bob Terzuola Slipit
 
My top 5, from currently available knives that I own:

1. Stretch 2
2. Centofante 3
3. Lum Chinese
4. Chokwe
5. byrd Wings Slipit.

It gets a lot harder when you look at discontinued ones too.
 
Of the ones I own and use my favorites are:

Paramilitary 2 in M390
Blue FRN Stretch ZDP-189
FFG Delica 4
FFG Endura 4
SE Pacific Salt
 
Lum Tanto
Vallotton
Gayle Bradley
Military BG-42
Endura ZDP-189

In no particular order and yes, I own and use them all.
