If You Had to Sell all but One... A Philosophical Question

I've got a fondness for every blade I own... But I often ask myself if I had to sell off my collection, what single knife would I keep? For me it'd probly be my PM2. What about you guys? Just outta curiosity, if you could only hang onto one blade, which one would make the cut? (no pun intended)
Have a good one -Blu
 
From a sentimental perspective, probably the Explorer tanto I got on a family vacation when I was a kid. For any other purpose, such as collector value or pure utility, I wouldn't even know where to begin.
 
It would be a Custom is I could only have one, probably would be the Andre de Villers Pitboss I am thinking or a kwaiback....so many to choose from I am not sure. I am on the list for Andre and a midtech Kwaiback so I will have to see. If you can only have one knife I would go all out.
 
My Cold Steel Ozark Hunter, because I way overpaid for it. I like the knife, but I haven't carried it in a while. I've thought about sending it out to have the washers upgraded and have the rough edges softened up some.
 
PD1 SNG, wronghanded for me as it is. Couple of M390 Benchmades run pretty close behind.

One of my BM 710s. Probably the plain edged one. A lot of knife with reasonable size/weight. Can handle almost anything I throw at it.
 
I'm down to 3 right now, one is off to warranty.
I'd keep my Sebenza 25.

My custom Kressler fighter. It is the only blade that I will never use, and it's the only one that nothing can make me get rid of it. It is a $5,000 custom double-edge sub-hilt chute with amazing Sambar stag scales. It was gifted to me by a very generous friend when I obtained the rank of Eagle Scout.

Wow! You rarely see that quality of sambar stag anymore.

My one knife would most likely be a large Sebenza.
 
As much as I love my M4 grip, I'd have to keep my BM 162, only because a good fixed blade would be more versatile.
 
Could I get back all of the money I spent on them originally in this hypothetical sellback? In any case, the one I'd keep would be a Vic Alox Cadet.
 
Are we choosing only one of the knives we've bought or just one single knife? Cause I have some knives that were gifts from friends/family/my wife and I have some knives passes down from my father that even in an absolute have-to-liquidate-everything situation I wouldn't sell so if you were to force me to pick one single knife to keep personal preference wouldn't matter, I'd keep one particular one of my fathers...

On the other hand if you exclude those knives and say I have to sell all but one of my user knives, not the ones I've got an emotional attachment to, I'd probably either choose my Benchmade 710 or I'd trade for a Gayle Bradley and keep just it.
