Best Knife You've EVER owned?

Bark River Bravo 2 with a custom kydex sheath. This thing has air cut 15 pieces of paper lengthwise. The convex grind means it handles beautifuly, batons and chops with the best and is just the right size to carry horizontal on a tec-loc on my belt horizontaly. One tough, awsomly built tool! holds an edge great.
 
Without question, this one. Fourteen years old, sick sharp, smooth as 15yo Scotch.....

Oh, boy, too many sub-categories. Do I go with best folder, best fixed blade, best slicer, best chopper, best collector piece, last one I would get rid of, etc?

So with spologies to all my favorite Busses, I'll go with the one most carried and used.

Have owned quite a few by living and late legends and have handled thousands if not over 100 thousand knives. Without any doubt or reservation my answer is any knife by Tony Bose.

There is one of his knives in my right front pocket as I type this.

The most time is my small SAK. I have a habit of having my hand in my pocket with my thumb nail lifting the blade enough so that I can feel the sharpness. There are so many cactus here that tweezers make sense, but a One Hand Trekker doesn't open well with one hand so I use a paramilitary 2, but I still need another new knife
 
Best Folder: Pohl Force Bravo One (Outdoor)
Best Small Fixed: Swamp Rat Rodent Solution / Busse CABS
Best Fixed General: Busse Boss Jack
 
Probably a toss-up between my Mora #1 and my red bone Rough Rider mini Whittler. Both have always performed when needed and cost me next to nothing.

I've got prettier knives as well as more expensive ones, but the above 2 are the most reliably used.
 
Gerber Multitool from 1999. One hand opening, smooth edges, and wirecutters that are tight enough to cut 10lb fishing line.
 
Kershaw TiLT- close second is my SnG though. I just love everything about the TiLT. The size/weight ratio is amazing, the fit and finish is impeccable (just as good as my Sebenza), it looks very unique, great ergonomics, and top of the line materials and technology. Not to mention it is easily the smoothest knife I have ever handled. AND, mine was given to me by Thomas so it has a sentimental value to it. He even sent me S.N. 111. :D

I'm happy with a Gen 3 Spyderco Endura. Ain't pretty, ain't awesome, didn't cost a day's pay. Gen 1 Leatherman close behind. Both EDC.
 
MAD DOG 14 inch Khyber, 14 inch blade 19.5 inches OAL. 1/4 inch thick 1.5 inches wide. It almost like sex with a unicorn, with out getting kicked.
