I really like the mini-trappers a lot also. They fit in the pocket and hand so well. SO = Stockmans and Mini Trappers are my favorites.

Don't know why or how this has happened to me but over the years of collecting and using knives I've come to prefer multi-blade knives that have the blades opening on one side! This would be jack knives, barlows, trappers, copperheads, hunters, etc. I generally shun muskrats, pen knives, stockmans, whittlers, congress patterns, canoes, sow bellys, etc. [Hey, maybe I'm simple. Too many blades coming out both ends confuses me! :) :) :)]

For EDCs I'm partial to drop points; assisted openers; liner/frame locks rather than lock backs. Hardly ever carry a knife that doesn't lock.

I really hadn't thought about a favorite pattern until I read this post.  The main focus of my collecting is Case and Rough Rider brands.  I only collect two specific patterns and like them both.  If the one I have the most of is my favorite, then fish knives would be my favorite pattern.  The top row of knives in this picture is my fish knife collection.

From left to right:  Szco-Pakistan, Imperial-USA, Frost Ocoee River-China, Imperial Diamond Edge-USA, Queen-USA, Providence Cutlery-USA, Rough Rider-China, Colonial-USA, Ka Bar T29-USA, North American Fishing Club-China, Ideal Knife Co.-USA

The other specific pattern that I collect is a sub set of my Case collection.  It is Case Mini Blackhorns.

Top row:  Ducks Unlimited 2007--Kneeling Cowboy Undated--Carhartt Undated

Middle Row:  Mint 1990--My EDC Undated--Merry Christmas 1993

Bottom Row:  Making A Case For America 2008--Boy Scouts Of America Undated

My favorite pattern is the Mini Coke bottle 25 1/2 , Case is the majority of what I have collected but I do have other knife companies mingled in with them. 

The case Select is an excellent one.....

I also tend to migrate toward small coffin bolster knives too...  lol
