What is your most used traditional knife?

Case CV trapper in amber bone. Goes with me everywhere after school. Because of this knife, i have stopped buying folders altogether.
 
Queen City Canoe. I only carry another (non-traditional) knife on the weekends, otherwise the Canoe is always there.
 
Er... uh... it'd have to be this one:

Case pocket worn burmuda green peanut that was a Fathersday gift 3 years ago and an amber bone large stockman with cv blades. These two knives have forced all others into retirement.

It would be either of these two - Bull Dog Groundhog or a Case 7110L (not sure if it has a name). It's one of the styles Parker made when he owned Case (89-90).
 
It would have to be my Case/ Bose Tribal Spear in antique bone. I use it for anything and everything.
 
Of the course of my entire life?

For fixed blades, probably a deerslayer or a Buck Vanguard

For folders, an old Remington Bullet R1123 my granddad gave me.

As far as over the last few years since I showed up on BF...probably this one by Kerry

Though I always carry (at least) 2 pocket knives the one I always carry while the others rotate, and the one that gets used the most is my Vic silver alox Farmer that I filed the key ring off of. Its the one that cuts whatever makes me think - 'do I really want to cut THAT with THIS?". Not to mention the general all around utility of the thing.
 
Most used brand/style: Case stockman

I've got it narrowed down to three in that category.......
 
Queen Cattle King Stockman in ACSB and D2. Started being my least favorite, and now it goes pretty much every day (usually with some company, of course).
 
My Case "John Deere" yellow bone Trapperlock for the last two years, with others rotated out as a second knife.
 
Mini-Wharnie Trappers (3 1/2") is by far by favorite pattern. We shall see which particular knife, or if a slim-line trapper wins out, when some of the knives in my pipeline come in.
 
Since I always carry a heavy work knife like the JDII comp, RAT 1, etc., I have to carry two knives at any given time. Besides, as good as they are, they don't qualify as a "traditional".

I never, ever leave home without a peanut or my very favorite, an old "Eye" brand butterbean (known as a "mini canoe" when purchased). Had it about 25 years or so, and I love that 1095 goodness.

There is a lot of cutting power in that little fella. It is my favorite small knife, barely edging out my CASE (or Primble, or Rigid, etc. ! ) peanut. I only have that one mini canoe because I have never seen or handled another one that I liked as well.

It's my Keith Johnson Lanny's Clip. It's the only knife that's been in my pocket since the day I received it.
 
This 8OT has seen as much pocket time and use as any knife I own. I bought it new back in the 70's.

this is actually a hard question as I rotate my knives quite often
But what seems to rotate more often, or is the pivot of the rotation is:

S&M 2007 18th Series stockman 3 1/2" on 420HC steel
