Only One Knife...And Why?

Right now I would go with my Para 2, but that choice is subject to change.
 
Smatchet. Because it's a Smatchet. Case closed.
 
That's a tough one.... are you talking about only one knife to own, or only one knife I have to choose to be my EDC? If I can only own one knife, it would be my spyderco chinook 2. If I can only carry one EDC out of my whole collection, it would probably be my large sebenza insingo.
 
A month ago I would have said my Spartan Enyo necker for reasons that I can't explain. It's just pretty cool looking to me and I wear it every day.

Today my choice would be my Umnumzaan because I am convinced it is the most solid folder that I own and it can serve a number of different roles.

Next week it might be something else. :D
 
If I had to choose from one already in my collection, it would be my plain jane Spyderco Delica 4. However, I plan to buy a Para 2 by the end of the year and that would probably be my choice if it was mine already.
 
I think i would have to say my Winkler Belt knife is the one i would keep. It’s my favorite knife by far.
The handle shape is perfect; blade length is just right for utility and weapons applications. The quality of this knife is just amazing, the sheath is perfect and allows for a variety of carry options (the sheath system is a big part of a good knife). It seem that this knife will be with me the rest of my life.

It would definitely have to be a fixed blade, folders would not be on my list because of the limitations they have.

My Ka Bar. Why? It was my first useable knife that I bought myself. Plus it performs great for what it is, and it has a lot of sentimental value.
 
ONE???

Dude! Man, I'm gonna need therapy!

Well, given that I can't take a fixed blade with me everywhere, I'm gonna have to compromise with a folder of some kind.

It has to be small enough for regular, everyday string/radish/salami/loose-thread/salad/apple jobs, and it has to be big enough to skin a deer.

The only folder I own that meets all these criteria is a Scandi-style folder, the EKA Swede 92.

I've used this knife in a wide variety of applications, and it just works.

I'm sure it will be a crummy shovel and a terrible crowbar, but it does okay as a scalpel and a kitchen knife and a box cutter.

I have great faith in this knife.

I presume that the "only one" rules also allow me to keep the spares I have for this one? It's only fair, you know . . .

:D


(Now, to be fair, I have a Case (large) Sod Buster, in CV or stainless, that would do all of these jobs, but it doesn't lock open, so the Swede gets the nod.)​

 
The Strider SNG CC is my absolute favorite edc. Here is my video review why it is so good....
