In the last six months most of my Benchmades have come home designed by Warren Osborne...so while I have a love of the work of others like Mel Pardue and McHenry and Williams, Ozzie gets the vote for my favorite designer.
Tho Osborne 940 Reverse Tanto puts a ton of meat behind the tip of the blade.   My EDC.
It's a great knife, Dan! I find the reverse tanto to be one of the most useful blade shapes!

OSBORNE hands down. I have a 581BK Barrage/M390 and a 943/S30V both are near perfect.

I do have a custom Griptillian on order (Mel Pardue) to try something different.

I guess I have to say Osborne design... My everyday carry is a benchmade Osborne design Rift axis
