What's your 'one'?

Hmm, The North Star, along with some other gear and a couple Blade Forum patches, is boxed up and getting sent to a friend in Germany for Chistmas and I havn't received it's replacement from Bryan Breeden yet, so I guess my one, is still on the drawing board.
 
There can be only one!
Er, one rig, that is. . . :D

My "one" fixed blade is my Randall 8-4, my folder is a case/bose slimline trapper.
 
Frosts Mora 860 Clipper is perfect for me. I use a machete/golok/axe etc. for chopping, and I often have a folder (Vic, Spyderco or Opinel), but the stainless Clipper is my general purpose fixed blade.
 
It might be my Scandi Helle Futura; sharpest knife I've had, comfortabe, even nice looking. However, I have not had it long, so I shall wait and see what happens after the new knife novelty wears off.

Based on what I use the most, day after day, year after year, my "one" has to be a Vic Spirit multitool. For me, it is almost as if the FB backs up the multitool, rather than the other way around.
 
I really like the looks of the Futura, came close to picking one up once and didn't. Course there are lots of Helle's I'd like to try out! It's a good thing Ragnar doesn't have any kind of open store to shop in. :eek:
 
I use and love moras ALOT.. I probably use them, (Clippers #1's, s1's etc) more than anything.. I recently got a scandi blade from DP knives I've been putting through the paces, and I have an enzo on the way..My next 2 purchases will be a Kellam wolverine, and a helle symfoni..there all the 1 as far as I'm concerned.. as long as it's scandi ground and fits my hand I'm happy

This is my first ever Scandi. I got it in a swap for a BK-10 that I had gathering dust. If you get one, plan on replacing the sheath; the sheath sucks - I don't know why they don't use the same ones that the other Helles have.
 
Actually,
I am pretty easy to please...I really love my whole collection right now. All good tough and functional blades. I need a new group shot...maybe some other day. I still reach for my Bravo1 alot...but I have a new F1 that was rehandled by Bark River that I really like. Man, I guess I am lucky..I like them all. I feel that they all work fine, and sledom do I run into something that I hate...I dont like serated blades, or recurves..(not in small blades) , and I dont like hollowgrind knives very much. Other than that..it would have to be something like a handle that causes a "hot spot" or something. Gene
 
I think my all-time favorite one is my green micarta EnZo Trapper in O-1.

But even better than that, and not to be topped by any knife so far, is my BRKT Bravo-1.

However, even better than that, and absolutely the "one" in my book, is my Helle Symfoni.

But really, the best of them all is probably my BRKT Northstar, due to it's lightness and pointy blade.

Yet, to really pick the one, I'd have to go to......
 
This usually involves my most recent purchase. The only one that didn't have much oomph for me when I first bought it was the mora#1. It is a good knife, and I've modded the handle since and it looks nice and all. I just don't like it for the aesthetics- blade is not wide enough. Sharp as heck and very functional, just will never be 'the one' for me.

I really like my new JK Kephart and I still love my Breeden Kat - they are different sizes so these reflect 'the two'

Yet I still have a bunch of other great and functional knives and I won't use the above ones to the exclusion of the others. I don't think I'll be buying any 4-5" or 2-3" knives for a little bit though. I think I have what I need in those categories, albeit the enzo trapper does have me a bit curious.
 
"the one" has not been found yet, well fixed blade has not been found yet, my Chris Reeve large regular Sebenza is my one folder, hands down, though I haven't handled the Umnunzaan yet.....

right now I'd have to say my Busse SARSquatch would be my one
