Walnut. Never had one with that material couldn’t resist😁 They arent the most exciting looker but they make up for that in the versatility dept. If it was my only knife for life id feel content.

I like knives, and once upon a time, although I was willing to save, a top maker heard my income, and had nothing more to say. So I became a maker myself. Do you like knives? They're good for your mental health! I'll make you one, go ahead and drop me a line. Deny a man a custom knife? It ought...

This little Wharncliffe isn't representative of the kind of knife you are seeking here but it is what I have on my belt today. The handle is remarkably comfortable.

My EDC fixed blade is a White River Sendero Classic. Jerry Fisk design, four and a half inches of S35VN, with a handle you can hold on to, it's light, handy, slicey, and has a good leather sheath. I have bigger and heavier blades for serious tasks, but, for general daily knife work(you know, cutting stuff), this one is so perfect that I have two. These folks really do S35VN well, and a lot of handwork goes into their knives. They're not inexpensive tools, until you start using them, and realize what a bargain they are.

UPDATE : Well I ordered a Carothers already. I watched some vids of his and also read some reviews and things and decided I needed one. He had a few Kepharts in stock so I chose black linen micarta handles and D3V steel. It was a little more then I wanted to spend but ($263 shipped) well that’s the way it goes. I will still be buying at least 1 other brand as well to start with and more along the way I’m sure. I’m still open to suggestions although seems some great ones have already been made

I did too - 3V with natural linen micarta. I'm a sucker for a Kephart pattern. I have a Condor Kephart blade blank, an Esee PR4, and a Becker Kephart BK62 that I like very much. It should arrive on Saturday. I'm pretty stoked.

Sounds like a puukko would fit your needs, anything from a simple (and cheap) Mora to higher end (and more expensive) blades. A middle grade like Roselli's Carpenter Knife, would fit your description. For something larger, you might consider Kabar's US Navy Mark 1 reproduction in 1095 Cro Van steel (same as Carbon V). It's an excellent all-round blade.

Yeah, a puukko has been the finnish peoples go to "do it all" for a long time and for good reasons.

If was to pick a do it all from my own herd it woud be one of these:
