Let's roast hardware also. Emerson's Phillips head screws drive me nuts, every time I disassemble a knife, I feel like I'm on the cusp of stripping out the heads on them.

The body screws that hold in my wharncliffe delica are to me unnecessarily small, the keyset im using is either too small or too big, now I have to buy a new one, but could be possible the T size im using has just blunted wirh age, as it was my dad's he had for over 30 years
 
It's meant for narwhals...apparently...while hunting scale material.

If you stab a narwhal, would you "blubber"?

As you know, I like RKH. However, why a new XM18 has to have one Torx screw, 3 Allen screws , 4 Philips, one flat head, and one custom screw is beyond me.. All in-house made, no less (not sure about the T6) :)

You need to listen more closely to understand the secret meaning of the 12 Days of Christmas. (Shhh...not everyone is cleared for this info.)
 
No specific brands for me. And, I wouldn’t say I hate these qualities in knives but I’m not a big fan of:

1- recurved blades
2- giant sharpening choils
3- extreme handle shape/contouring
4- scalloped scales
5- extremely aggressive jimping
6- plain and serrated combo edges
7- tanto blade shape
8- finger choils + cutting edge & no guard
9- pancake kydex sheath for a small knife
10- pikal blades

That about covers it.
