What's your most useful knife?

[Hotshot10]

Not most favorite or most pretty knife (although there could be overlap between the categories). Which one in your collection gets used the most?

I'll start. My SAK Hiker is used the most.

 

[Jason Chambers]

White River ATK. I use it every day because something always needs to be cut.

 

[Shorttime]

Goes with me to work, five days a week. Does it's job.

Manix 2/Native 5. I alternate them for work carry depending if I'm in the city or not.

Most useful has to be a SAK that I carry daily. Been carrying a small fixed blade of late too and it is real useful.

Hinderer Half Track Wharnie but I am a bit biased

Most useful for the most tasks I do . . .
something like these. Think skinny. Think thin (then grind it half that thickness). If it is over two millimeters thick don't even talk to me about it. I know you asked for something more specific but . . .

PPS : the MAC Paring knife above is my newest knife just got it yesterday. I may get so crazy I just might make a sheath for it and EDC it. I did that with the German knife below it all through the eighties.

Doesn't mean I don't own these in the photo below.
Doesn't mean I don't enjoy using these immensely because I do.
These are just not as versatile or nimble. Think cutting a disc of card board out of the side of a box with that Colossus and you might see what I mean.
Dicing carrots with the Tasman . . . yeeeeah.
The Pendleton Hunter (3V) is getting there (ground half as thick down to 2.2mm) but for the length the blade is too wide for my EDC.
PS : I really debated over including the Griptillian but that Ritter blade is pretty dang wide.

Whichever knife I have on me when I need to use one.

Most useful... my SAK fieldmaster
Most used... my Small Inkosi

I pack my fieldmaster when I think I may have something to work on it
But my most carried , and as such the one I use most is my EDC-ed small inkosi

 

[bflying]

Currently my most used is a ZT 0456.

Surely the next one will be the most useful! As far as a knife that can go a lot of places and do a lot of things I think it’s a tie between any CRK Sebenza and an LC200N Spyderco. Possibly the Siren! ...and I’ve come full circle.

 

[Roguer]

The one I got in hand or near at hand.

 

[James Y]

Most useful all-around: SAK Spartan with mini-eyeglass screwdriver in the corkscrew.

Right now, it is my Buck 110 Slim Pro. Slim and light weight, yet a little too long. Other days, one of my Manly Wasps in Sandvik.

 

[NapalmCheese]

My 10 inch K Sabatier Chef knife.

 

[vwb563]

I carry two knives with me everyday. A Kershaw Leek and Victorinox Executive. Both are invaluable to me.

 

[SOLEIL]

Whichever knife I have on me when I need to use one.

I'm the same way. I change my EDC every couple of days or sometimes a week. Sometimes I forget what I'm carrying but it doesn't matter, they all work great.

Which one in your collection gets used the most?

Not even a question.
