What's your "old faithful" knife

Kershaw Cyclone. It's the first knife I bought for myself, and it's seen more than its fair share of use. I can say that it's the one knife in my collection I'd never get rid of if I had any kind of choice in the matter.

I should take some more recent pictures of it...it's had a fair amount more use since these were taken...

The blade is slowly wearing away, it's got so many scratches it looks stonewashed in the right light, the anodized scales are smooth from wear and it's got dents all over the place. Still locks up tight and still gets carried.
 
Ive owned the SVORD in front of pic since 1990...It had done a lot of work and is definitely my {old faithful} big knife... FES

Four makers/models for me.....Les George in either the Rockeye or the FM-1; Pat and Les Crawford in their Kasper line(I've got one and trying to work towards another); Andrew Demko AD-10 and most any Strider SnG.
 
This may sound strange, but I frequently reach for my Cold Steel, Medium Voyager in VG-1. Other than that, my Emerson CQC-7B finds the most pocket time currently.
 
my hard used four (three?) year old Ka-bar short tanto, man I have used that thing in hellish ways and it never disappoints. This is going to be a knife that gets passed down. The sheath is still the best sheath I have ever seen in my honest opinion.
 
For ergonomics I easily go for my Millie and for strong lock-up I go to my Recon 1. For fun I go to my Commander and for all-around heavy-duty utility I go to my Journeyman. My Tenacious gets quite a bit of pocket time too. But my "old faithful" is truly my Al Mar SERE 2000. May sound odd but I get withdrawal and use her at least once a week, just to keep my hands on her. I can honestly say that if I had to pick just one folder, it would be my SERE 2000.
 
Without a doubt it is my Zt0200. I might carry other knives, but I always come back around to the Zt0200. It is perfect in all its ways!
 
My Caly 3 has been my longest running EDC (1 year). It has been replaced with the Caly 3.5. :D

My Salt 1 is my go to beater knife. I've cut carpet, sealant, cardboard, clothes, etc., with that knife. It is my first Spyderco and I'll never get rid of it.
 
The knife that has an upper leg over the others right now is my Mini Ritter Grip.
My "old faithful" that will never lose a place in my edc though is just a simple 74 mm SAK Executive. It's proven the most useful for me and it gets used more than my main blades more often than not.
 
I carried a Gerber Harsey Air Ranger for six years everywhere I went. Held a hair-popping edge until late in the last year I carried it, now a part of my emergency kit.
 
My "old faithful" would have to be my buck 102 woodsman. My father gave this knife to me when I was 11 years old. I remember pestering him for months asking for a buck 119. He decided that the smaller 102 would be a better choice for me, and on the departure of a fishing trip he gave me that knife. 17 years later it's still my go to knife when I head into the woods. This blade has cleaned more fish, ruffed grouse, and prepared more campfire meals than I can even remember.

Unfortunately the handle has recently developed a small crack in it so I'm hoping that bucks warranty is as good as people say it is. I'll be sending it away soon to be repaired.

Delica w/o a doubt. I love that knife. I'll cut tons of stuff at work, a lot of tough materials at that and itll touch up in 2 minutes.
 
For the last 10+ years... any flavor Sebenza!

For the last couple months, the "new faithful" has been this 25:
