Stealing a common gun theme: If you could only have one knife what would it be? :evil:

[fjolnirsson]

Cold Steel Vaquero Grande.
I've had mine for nearly 5 years now. It's big enough for self-defense, folds small enough to carry in my pocket, and can stay with me at schools, hospitals, etc.
It will do anything from cutting cardboard to light carpentry needs.
If I lose it, it doesn't set me back a month's wages.

I was thinking about my old CASE Camper knife the other day. Granted the new SAK variations are great. That old CASE did a lot of chores for me, I may of had my Case Trapper, my Case Bird and Trout - out and about hunting, fishing...Camper was used a LOT.

In the context of "one knife for everything"...Camper did it for me - most assured it still could today.

Buck Ranger.

I've had it since college. I carried it for years and also used it as my hunting knife. It's has skinned and cut up most of the deer I've killed. It's a good, tough blade.

Only one knife? What a depressing thought. :(

No one knife is good for all things.

It it were to be only one I could get by with the Frosts Mora or something in that size.

Large classic Sebbie for me, thanks.

In a folder, a Large Regular Sebenza for me, please.

[Zeke/PA]

I am a man of many, many knives so this is a terrible thing to think about.
I have work knives and gardening knives and Sunday- Go to Meetin' knives,
and fillet knives and bait knives. God forbid you fillet fish with a bait knife.
And of course I have a favorite machete.
If I had to depend on one knife I would want it to be the U.S.M.C. K-Bar.
Respectfully, Zeke

What HSO said. Make mine a Frosts Clipper with a better sheath.

I would be upset if all I could own was one blade.

If you want a knife to work with as I do. Cutting cardboard, scraping paint, and occasionally need a clean cut in rubber or plastic for something that needs to be trimmed. THIS works, it can be resharpened in five seconds to a factory new edge, and is under fifteen dollars. It opens and closes easily with one hand, and has a good functional pocket clip.

Walmart has a similar one under the brand name of "Sheffield" for under ten bucks, and harbor freight has a generic one for 3.99, if you want to pinch pennies.

For me it'd be either a stockman or trapper pattern with carbon steel blades. Something like a sixties-era Case would do nicely. Alternatively, I'd take a four-inch trailing point or dropped point fixed blade, made of 1095/5160/52100/L6. No stainless steel on any knife I own.

I love my Kershaw Whirlwind (non-serrated) so much that I have two of them.

[Ol' Badger]

Having only one knife is like having only one testical! Sure you can do the job, but two are better.

[Toddinator716]

If it was just day to day.. walkin around on the street, ide have to go with any benchmade balisong. Survival, i have no idea probably one of those multi tool things
