Custom, production whatever....which blade do you get the most out of in "your" current collection? For me right now I'd have to say I have been using my BM Nimravus the most.
 
Well I dont have one now (stupid me, I sold mine to a friend), but I would say it is easily the Benchmade 710.
What's there not to like or useless in a 710? Nothing.
When I get the money I''ll have myself a 710 in M2.
I carry a Microtech LCC and I love it, but if I was to work with a knife it would be the 710.

I have nothing bad to say about the BM 710, but I prefer a somewhat less tactical-looking knife. Given that, my vote for most generally useful goes to my Kershaw Ken Onion Boa. It speaks fluent tactical but it also makes a wonderful general-purpose cutting instrument. That deep belly and strong recurve are amazingly versatile.

All steel Mora (Frosts Clipper). I use it for hunting large and small game and turkeys, fishing, processing fish and game, camping, mushroom hunting, yardwork and general utility work.
 
It has been the Spyderco Wegner for quite some time. This knife is incredibly versatile. Utility, defense, skinning, etc. etc. It is the ultimate "tactical" knife. I have really put the Wegner through its paces. It has never let me down. My Wegner is more than a knife, it is a companion and a friend. We have seen a lot together. She will be by my side for quite some time.

She is getting a little jealous of my new Carson model 4 though.

That's easy. My Camillus EDC is beautifully versatile. It's got a big enough belly to handle many large cutting jobs, yet small enough for precision work.

I have knives that are better at either large or small jobs, but none that do both as well as the EDC.
 
A Classic: AFCK! I just finished using it to check steaks on the BBQ. I love this knife.

It would have to be my REKAT Carnivour Cub. It's one of my 2 EDC knives, and it's the one that gets the most use for "everyday" cutting chores . (My other EDC knife is my REKAT Sifu, so now you see why the Cub gets the most use.).

For me it would be my Randall model 11..
Terrific blade geometry..man what a cutting machine..
 
one word: SIFU in D-2.
Large enough for any job, small enough to fit easy in your pants, you can smear your sandwishes with it to.
Due to it's good construction and size, probably the most versatile knife ever.

greetz, bart.

Spyderco Plain Blade Navigator: small tough blade, excellent grip for good control, sheeple friendly, lightweight and easy to carry. It almost acts like a bigger knife! Not too tactical but I usually cut stuff and not BG's. I have a slew of big tacticals but my Navigator with a tiny SAK mini-toolchest is hard to beat for EDC.
 
Dozier K-1 so far this summer. It doesn't go with me to the city for work, but around the homestead, it is always on my belt and I've been using it for everything from making small kindling to smearing mustard on a sandwich. I do a lot of cooking too and have employed it as a pairing knife, boning knife, and everything else I can think of including opening sacks of animal feed, bales of hay, etc. Its a little too short (3" blade) to cut long thin slices off a big steak, but it works great on salami and cheese!

My kids go nuts when they see me whip it out for food prep. "Dad" they scream "You just used that knife to clean out a goat's hoof and now you're cutting food, yuck!" I just smile at them knowing full well that I cleaned the knife when they weren't looking. "Hey" I say "I rinsed the knife off in the pig's water trough! What more do you want?"

Right now, the knife I'm using most is my Dozier Pro Guide. I use it in the kitchen, in the yard, around the BBQ, and I've found it does a great job filleting salmon. I filleted a 40lb King this last weekend and I've never done it as quickly or as cleanly as with this Pro Guide. Interesting to note: the smooth Micarta scales didn't become slippery even when coated with blood and fish slime.
 
I mostly use my BM 350. I ALWAYS have it on me and it is the most sheeple friendly of the collection. Next to that I'd say the Spydie Goddard, really nice blade shape.

All you need in life is a good blade and enough smokes to get you through the day.

As usual, I agree with Shootist. The Spyderco Wegner is not just one of my fav's, it is a versatile user. I like it so much I have a NIB spare.
