What's the most versatile blade that you own?

I'd have to say my trusty BM-42. It sees the most use, from breaking up the ice in the freezer to stripping wire when I'm working on the electric fence, nothing does it better. Since I can't carry the 42, I guess I have to pick the most versatile I can carry, which would be the Mini-AFCK.

Darrel Ralph Arc Lite neck knife.

Have to admit though, it is my M-2 Nimravus cub that I carry most on weekends lately.

Benchmade 710 is without a doubt my most versitile knife.
I have opened cans with it,
Pryed logs apart, with so much effort I knew it was going to snap, blade was bending A LOT, hammered it through wood to split it, chopped with it, dug holes with it, carved trap and bow drill parts, cut cans in half, used it as a spoon. I have even used it as a cutting tool for stuff like cardboard, paper, cloth, wood, nylon, and tons more. This knife is good to say the least.

DDR CF EDC gets most of the use right now. Gotta love that blade.
I'm also a big fan of the 710HS.
 
Folder-wise, my Calypso Jr. remains the single-biggest joy to use, in 99% of cutting situations that call for a folder. But I use my 710 and endura just as much. I rotate those 3 for carrying.

For fixed blades, the TTKK is my most often-used and most versatile, giving incredible performance and enough robustness for the vast majority of small-blade uses I have. The AGRussell Deerhunter gets very high honorable mention.

A little Mike Irie fixed blade in BG-42. This baby does all I ask of it and begs for more. It is stout enough to handle everything I throw at it as well as recreational whittling.

My EDC is a REKAT Sifu, haven't found anything yet that it isn't good at. However, it is a little large.

I find for the perfect "all around" knife the Spyderco Endura..big enough to get the job done, small enough to be nimble and cheep enough to replace if lost.
 
Guess I'd have to say my Spydie Native. It isn't so big it scares the sheeple, but it's 3" blade is a big-time cutter. It has a very effective point, and enough belly for slashing. With the extra choil up front, one can really choke up on the blade. With it's 440V, sharpening often simply isn't necessary. It is the first knife I ever bought that instantly went into my pocket, there to remain most of the time. Oh -- forgot to point out it is ambidextrous. So, its the left/weak pocket it rides in.

Large Sebenza Classic.
Excellent blade shape: fine point with a good belly.
Blade is a good all around length, though some sheeple are intimidated by the size.
With the polished edge it performs most cutting chores very well, except for slicing manila rope (in my experience).
Light enough to carry in the bottom of your pocket, but substantial enough to tackle any chore.

Small CS Voyager. Cheap enough to be rough with, but it can hold a good edge. It's not in the same class as some of the other knives already mentioned, but it's good enough for now.

I really like the wharncliffe blades of the Mirage and PECK. Really useful tip and got straight edge.
