What's your favorite belt knife?

This is my favorite. David Farmer in 3/32" 1095 with burnt osage scales. I need to get a new pick. It has a lot more character now.

 
Ah, that's easy. Koster BushMaster for me. It's a 5" blade of 1/4" thick 3v. It can literally split human hairs lengthwise, is tough as nails, and holds an edge really well. As a general purpose blade, I find it to be near perfect.

Looks similar to my Farmer which is definitely in my top 3 favorite camp knifes !

Nice one. I'm definitely glad I picked one of his knives up when he was still making them. I use mine quite a bit in the kitchen. That blade shape makes for a really nice slicer.
 
I haven't taken any pictures but for some years now, the Fallkniven F1 has been my choice. I like them so well I bought a second. But, unlike many of you, I don't really do any bushcraft and pretty much all camping tasks I do are done with a Benchmade Mini-Griptilian. I carry the F1 to have a more serious blade should the need arise.

Can't pick a favorite but here are some that I favor.

Big Chris Hunter has a tapered tang and thin ground edge making it a lightweight slicing marvel.

KFU custom is just a great size and has great ergos not to mention nice to look at so it gets carried often.

Fallkniven F1 is a great all around knife. I have 4 F1's that I keep in different bags/places.

Bark River Canadian Special is another I have multiples of. Just a very good take on a legendary pattern that suits many purposes.

I'll add a $14 knife to the mix. Classic #1.

I like what you did with the handle. Classed it up nicely.

I almost-zero ground the straight part of the blade, and left the curve with the secondary bevel
Works even better now
That's a good way to do it. I have a Scrapyard 711 that while not zero ground, it's thinned in the flat and flares wider through the belly to the tip. Makes for a great all around grind IMO.
 
I have four that I like a lot: Dozier Pro Guides Knife, Kabar Becker BK-15, Blackjack 125 and 124. Which one do I put on the belt lately for a hike? BK-15.
 
Blackjack tac ops 4. Followed closely by an ML knives french trade knife, and third is a bark river settler
