What knife in your collection is the ONE. The one that there is no replacement for and that you always go back to.

For me it's the Spyderco Paramilitary 2.

Pictures welcomed and encouraged :)
 
ZT 056X series knives. Always have one on me. Here is a pic of both my casual carry (the carbon fiber scale) and my work knife (toxic green/carbon fiber scale) along with a ZT 0550 thrown in to show off it's scale as well.

Those look amazing. I would love to get a set of custom scales for my PM2 and my RAT 1
 
The top and bottom one were made by rival on here, the middle 0561 with the lanyard was made by the preacher. I would highly recommend either of them, they do outstanding work.
 
Either the XL Voyager 2011 or the Victorinox Hiker or the Kershaw Salvo. Probably the Hiker the most though.
 
Old Faithful EDC - Benchmade 950/940 (first two 'expensive' knives I ever purchased; they have been subjected to absurd amounts of EDC use)

Old Faithful Beater - Cold Steel 2011 Voyager (...what I've put this knife through should be illegal; no humans or animals were harmed but countless amounts of plastic, wood, cardboard, and other 'hard use' objects have been cleaved in two).
 
Used to be my mini grip. It disappeared but the ritter mini grip I ordered to replace it has taken the torch. If I dont know where the day will take me, you can bet I'll have the ritter with me.
 
I have two a fixed blade custom Bud Nealy Aikuchi and a custom Pat Crawford Framelock, I've carried both knives pretty much non stop for the last 20 years.

I find the large belly on the Ontario RAT-3 to be very useful for a lot of chores. The blade is strong, but thin enough for chores that a thicker blade can't handle well. A fixed blade is so much more easy to maintain than a folder, in my opinion. It can take a keen edge, and hold it for awhile. The knife and sheath are small enough that I can carry it in my front pocket. And, the knife is comfortable and easy to use. All around very useful knife to have.
 
In civvies the Boye BDC Winged Prophet...in uniform, a Tom Anderson Sandpiper with maroon micarta handles.
 
Although there are a few knives that I like alot, there is one type of knife that I've carried non-stop since I began carrying regularly. A Victorinox SAK.
 
For me it would also be my PM2 but i carry my ZT 0350 quite a bit also. I carry the PM2 more though mostly because I like how much lighter it is than the 0350 and the compression lock is far superior to a liner lock in ease of closing the knife one handed.

Preacher made the scale for my 0550.
He is a great guy to deal with.
Haven't had the pleasure if doing business with rival yet but, I see his work all over the forum.

This ladybug salt is the only knife I never leave home without.
