As for choice between models, impossible to go by model but only individual knives.

The model choice impossible due to variations from knife to knife. Are you talking a 14 with a thick tip or a thin tip? A #1 with a thick edge, or thin? Handle shape variations even on otherwise identical knives and handle styles can make or break a knife choice for me.
