That's a tough question! I had a hard enough time narrowing it down to three yesterday. I will say that the Case/ Bose Arkansas Hunter that just showed up at my door is pretty darned cool. That's my favorite pattern for this afternoon at least.

Also the Sodbuster

If I could only pick 2,it would be the Canoe & the Copperhead for me.

im a trapper kinda guy as of late, though i think the saddlehorn is nicer. but i am always a fan or single blade slippies, like my scagel #11.

None of mine are fancy or elegant, but the Stockman works for me.:thumbup:

 

[texasflyfisher]

+1 three blade stockman

 

[jivedaddy]

Probably these:

 

[d.parker]

Them's all Jacks ain't they jive ? Sure pretty I really like them...

 

[Foilist]

I like the utility of the scout pattern. I also like anything with the big blade/small blade setup like the barlow, canoe, jack, etc.

I used to carry strictly stockmans until I got this trapper. Used to have a rigid trapper in the Navy and
this one spurred an old affection of the pattern.My main carry now.

No.1...

No.2's...

No.3's...

no.4...

and this one falls in between the mix....

Also the Sodbuster

Those seem to echo my leanings as well. Toss a scout knife into the mix and I'll be really torn.

 

[Carolina River Rat]

Trapper, Stockman, Sodbuster, in that order.

 

[BJE]

Trapper, Barlow/Jack, Sodbuster, Stockman. I probably like the Jack pattern the best, but I have yet to find the perfect one.

 

[Morablades]

I prefer large knives:
Large Trapper (I am partial to my Case Wharncliffe Trapper) I don't like the long spey blades too much.

Mercater Slipjoint (Thank You, stockman242)

And a large Cattleman or Case Gunboat or some kind of version of the stock knife over 4"

Senator. I'm no gentleman, but I like to pretend.

 

[Peregrin]

I've really grown fond of the Sway back jack pattern. I've posted all of these at one time or another, but here they are again.
Joel Chamblin:

Ken Erickson:

Case:

Hiroaki Ohta:

I'm lookin' to add more too!

 

[4ever3]

The Sowbelly. Why? Well... Just look at it

 

[jivedaddy]

Them's all Jacks ain't they jive ? Sure pretty I really like them...

Yes they are; although I also like the Congress and swayback patterns, these just seem to make sense for an all around pattern!

 

[navihawk]

Someone said those swaybacks bite alot. Is that true?
