If someone were to ask you what you thought was the singular absolute classic knife in both a folder and a fixed blade, what would your answer be?

I was thinking:

Folder: Buck 110
Fixed: Loveless Drop Point Hunter

I would say:

Folder: Navaja albaceteña
Fixed blade: I agree on the Loveless

I think it changes from country to country and depending on your tastes. An Opinel is probably every bit as much of a classic as the Buck 110 (it has been around for a few more years!). Moras, leukus and puukkos are as classic as it gets, as well.

Any nice looking design that works well will usually stick around for a few hundred years!
 
from my side of the world, it would be

folders : opinel or laguiole (it's not a brand, just a shape)
fixed : sabatier chief knife:D
 
Folder would have to be a Schrade 8OT.

Fixed - Ka-Bar/Camillus/Ontario Combat knife.

A case bone handled full size trapper, not ss. in a fixed blade the Ka-Bar.
I agree with the buck 110 also. ahgar
 
Fixed: Loveless Drop Point, Bowie, Buck 119, Ka-Bar

Folder: Buck 110, Stockman (Case, Schrade etc...), Italian Stiletto
 
Folder: Buck 110

Fixed blade: USMC KaBar
 
For a folder I would say the Barlow and fixed has to be the bowie. Speaking classic that is, they were the American stand by for decades.
 
both my classics are bucks.
fixed- buck 102 first knife I bought after getting out of army in 1968 though I believe I bought it in 1969.
a buck .112. two dot nib I bought last year.
 
European classic: Victorinox Soldier Swiss Army Knife.

American classic: Buck 110

Fixed-blade: USMC Ka-bar.
 
Classic folder; Case small Stockman
Classic fixed; KA-BAR fighting knife (CE blade and Kraton handles, not "traditional" traditional, but the basic knife is the essentially the same as the USMC model
