For me it seems to be my Bandicoot. I have put a new sharper edge on which shaves hair easily but still sucks when cutting wood, must be the edge geometery that's wrong for this kinda work !

Most? My old Wenger Handyman. But that's a given, so I'll pretend you just meant fixed blades. :D

In that case, it'd have to be my first and only (though not for too long, I reckon) Breeden, the Blackwood Bushcrafter. While I can't carry it down here in FL, as soon as I get back home it's going back on my belt. I miss being able to reach for it instead of my pocketknife.

I hope,that in a month or so it would be a M95 Peltonen sisipukko :)
 
I don't have any 'in-use' photos of this one, since my camera (particularly the battery) wasn't being cooperative last weekend.

But here are a few shots taken from my office, deep in the middle of a concrete jungle.

This knife is based on a heavily modified Delta 5. I contoured the handle (big time!), added a slight contour to the spine, convexed the edge, and added black G-10 scales. It isn't very pretty, and I'm usually not a fan of synthetic handle materials, but it's very comfortable, durable, and very sharp. Last weekend it saw some use on the Bruce Trail, and I think it will be my go-to hiking knife for the foreseeable future.

Here's a shot of the knife with my spec-ops sheath.

And here's a picture of my hiking duo - the Delta 5 and my Becker Necker.

Leatherman wave...which replaced my spyderco endura the day after my car broke down up north. a nice pair of pliers would have been nice.
 
This little dude (Jimi Wade necker) is the one that tends to find its way in my pocket. 2.5" blade and 6.25" overall; 6.75" length in its kydex sheath. It is just handy as heck as an edc. The RC-4 or one of my Breeden's is usually in my pack or camera back on a trip.

I am supposed to be reviewing its Puuko mate too but it's in the shop waiting for a sheath. Once I stuck this little cutie in my pocket I have a hard time leaving it behind. I have used it for everything from day-to-day tasks, food prep, fire-making, lawn-n-garden work.... This sucker cuts wood like nobody's business and the handle is very well thought out. The combination of good handle design and great blade geometry makes it do things a lot of larger knives I have onwed wouldn't. It doesn't look like this any more.

I have been using this 3.5 inch Itou R2 damascus bushcrafter.....the sheath is so easy to clip on anywhere and it can hold an edge and work much harder than it's size would indicate.
