I have to choose one and a comparing picture would help a lot

Maybe worth mentioning I already have a Lionsteel M4 in Magnacut.
Would also love to see it next to a ursus cub.

Now a bradford gardian 3.5 (in magnacut) also came into the picture.
Instead of making the choice smaller I'm adding knives 😟

This is in no way helpful, as of the knives you posted, I only own the Bradford, but I can tell you that the Bradfords are excellent knives, especially the updated Guardian 3 as you've shown here where there's now a tiny "lip" instead of the finger choil terminating in the heel of the blade. I've carried one as my EDC knife for years, and have been bit a couple times by it.

Also, out of the first three you posted, the Ursus Cub is probably the one I'd pick, since its handle seems the most neutral and handfilling so it would be comfortable for actual work. Both Viper and White Rivr make excellent knives so you can't go wrong, but for me, it'd be the Cub.
 
I think the Viper Handy satin is much better than that stonewash.

The only knife that compares is the Buck Alpha Elite Hunter, but I'd still take a Viper.

I have the Bradford 3.2 and White River M1/Backpacker. For me the White River just fits my med/large hand better than the Bradford. Both are great knives and probably can’t go wrong with either, but I’d try to handle them prior to making ultimate decision .
 
Since the OP hasn't posted in the thread since April, I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess he's either made up his mind or moved on...

...and so shall we.
