In terms of traditional pocketknives, my favorite blade shape for general use is the traditional flat-ground spear point. It is the most generic shape, and probably does not overly excel in any one particular use, but is a good all-around shape that combines a sharp (put not needle-like)tip, fair belly, and relative tip strength (compared to a clip point).
The spear point seems to have been the oldest(?) pocketknife blade from Europe, still the master blade in the SAK and most scout and electricians' knives.
