Favorite bushcrafter blade

Probably still the Bark River Aurora although I have waaaaay too many to really tell which is my fav. Maybe the F1, maybe Bravo1. A Busse CABS just landed today and I think it may give the others a run for the money.

For now though, Aurora.

 
I just got this from Andy on Friday, but wow, its just about my perfect woods knife. Its 1/8th inch O1 with a full convex grind, the handle is Walnut over Osage, with black micarta liners and pins. I've only used it for some light carving, but I'll be sure to post up a review when I really get a chance to really use it.

I'm new to the place, so Hello knife/blade lovers!
I agree with the SK-5 Blackbird, might not be a pretty knife, but it's functional and I believe there is elegance in simplicity.
 
Hey sharp brown, I have a friend who has one serious ugly chunk of steel, he had it made years ago, doesn't fit much of any pattern, but he has serious skills and uses it well. The man in the tool, not the knife.
 
Got a new Fiddleback Bushfinger the other day- can tell it's a winner for sure. Here it is with the Ladyfinger...

edit: Got it out a little, wow...it is very nice. Here it is with the Koyote GBB. These knives are fantastic...

I was just taking a look at mine last night. My favorites are the following:

Gossman mini Kephart, Gossman Polaris, Laconico Kephart, Fiddleback flat ground Terrasaur, Blind Horse Bushby flat ground.

Out of all of them, it is a tie between the Gossmans.
 
My favorite general use knife is my kabar mk1. of course i keep a larger knife or machete for battoning and chopping and usually a mora if i'm doing a lot of carving.
