That's hard to say, and ever changing. But today, based on my own collection, I'd say, in no particular order...

Large Persian
Paramilitary 2
Lum Tanto folder
Chokwe
Manix 2 (FFG sprint versions)

Of course this is subject to change.

Well, if number of "users" owned and frequency of carry are any indicator, then my "top three" would have to be:

1. Kiwi
2. Stretch
3. C83 Schempp Persian

Bunch of other designs I like and collect, but none where I have more than one or two users and those only rarely get carried.
