Most Useful Knife?

A Bose/Case Dogleg Jack gets carried everyday and gets more work than any other knife I be carrying!
 
For work, I usually turn to my semi-serrated Ka-Bar USMC. No special reason -- just that it was one of my first knives (purchased back in 1996, if I remember correctly) and it was the knife I chose to abuse. Since then I've used it for everything from throwing to splitting wood (with the aid of a hammer). It's pretty battered -- the spine has hammer marks all over it, the guard has been bent and straightened so many times that it's a kind of continuous sine curve and the buttcap is a bit wobbly. The blade's still sharp though.

However, in recent times, the knives I handle most often are my throwing knives -- one large Hibben knife, two medium ones and a Muela Pro-Throw.
 
I think the stockman is hard to beat. I am also very fond of trappers. Slip-joints do 90-95% of my cutting chores.
 
I just bought a Wenger Highlander yesterday and it is very impressive. Schrade 80t,Wenger Soldier ,and Opinel #7 round out the list.
 
I have to put another vote in for the Millie as the most useful, it does a heck of a job on a watermelon.............
 
Mine is a 2.5" stag handled Delta Lockback, large enough to be useful but still Shepple friendly. In the kitchen it is a #2 Chinese cleaver. It gets used for everything. I guess it is just a matter of what you get used to using.
