what's the block you use the most

The TKD block I use the mosrt is the hansonnal momtong maki and hansonal ogul maki, to defend my rib cage and my head, I use the open hand (sonal) because this I way if need it I can grab the oncoming atack.

Even when I do sparring I use these blocks and thay has worked for me the most of the times, the other guys in the dojang don't use their arms to block the kicks or punches, they use their hands pretty low so I am old school.

Like you, I use sonal maki (knife hand) a lot, as well as batongson maki (palm heel), and for much the same reason. I feel I have more control over my opponents attack with the open hand blocks. I also tend to use a fair bit of chagilo maki (kicks used as blocks).
 
I prefer the foot block....as in, my feet carry me at least one city block away from my attacker before he can respond.

:D:D
