I am unsure how to respond to W 1, can anyone show some solid variations?

As far as I know, this is a peaceful joseki.
The simplest way is to just extend back. White will probably fix his position and black will have sente.
Black can also counter-hane. White cutting at
instead of 
leads to black getting more corner territory.

The title says "large knight," but the diagram shows a two-space jump. Did you mean to ask about something other than the diagram?

This is what he means:
elsewhere.
is the large knight's approach. 
is the contact play.

Ahh, ok. Would've realized that had I looked more closely rather than glanced and not seen a knight's move.

To me both sequences seem--well-- anemic.
3 here seems to be a vital point for both players. If W tenuki, B 3 if not sente is close.
So W 3 is reverse sente ( or close to reverse sente ) and though W is low and ends in gote ( but overall the same amount of moves spent in the corner, my feeling is that B shape is just miserable.
In this diagram W has the slightest bit of bad aji to the right of 1, but I can't help feel that B has loads more bad aji.
I can't help but fell that in both cases B is worse off considering that he spent one more move in that corner.

If you don't like anemic sequences, play tighter approach moves - if you act like W has cooties, you won't have any severe follow-up when he takes sente. Why did you play the ogeima kakari in the first place? Presumably you weren't angling to get corner territory.
