Title says it all, but it can be more than fixed blades. Beefy folders, multitools, just something you grab before heading out to the campsite. For me, it has been a Leatherman supertool on one of our Boy Scout outings. It works fine for some of the food as well as making fuzz sticks. I have never found the need to baton wood or break it in smaller chunks to start a fire. The surrounding foliage and sticks are more than enough to get a nice campfire going. So what's your favorite camp knife and what do you use it for?

A Leatherman Charge Tti, Swamprat Rodent solution, Busse SAR6, Or Basic11. Usually a combo of 1 small & 1 large go with me to handle all tasks.
 
SR Chopweiler. I like my BWM and some other knives but the Chopweiler is just the right size to work for about everything in the woods but skinning and really fine work.
 
My SS Mora Companion MG and my Swiss Spirit Multi Tool have been a great pair on many camping trips. I made a paracord neck rig for my Mora that has been working out really well.
 
I love my Becker BK9, but it's a bit big to keep on me for everything. BK2, bushman, Ka-Bars, Glock field Knife, Rajah II I love them all but I don't think I've yet found my go-to camping knife. I just ordered my first mora and a Heavy Warthog (I love the original) and I want a BK16 but I think the yet-to-be-realeased becker BK10 is really going to do it for me when it comes out.
 
Beretta loveless drop hunter with the zytel handle. Sure it sounds cheap but it's the perfect knife imho. I
like it so much that I keep a spare.

Next is my Vic Pioneer.

Then tied for 3rd place are my bigger tools including my Kabar, 12" Ontario machete, Cold Steel Frontier Hawk, and a few others.
 
The most used in my outdoor activitys are a Leatherman Charge Ti and a fixed 3-5" blade.
I sometimes take a heavy knife around 8" blade, but can also take a hatchet & saw instead of the large knife.

I have this one not in UHC-steel but carbon steel. Still a great knife.

A Spyderco Military on my belt for most uses. And a larger Ka-Bar fixed blade in case I have to chop wood.

I won't baton the Military, but I will the Ka-Bar.
 
For regular camp use..food prep, small chores, cutting cord..etc. BRKT Northstar, I have had one for 7 years now and still love it.
 
I'd have to say a Randall 14, it's a great looking beast of a knife that feels great in the hand. Kinda wish I had gotten it in stainless though.
