All I have so far is an 8, but I don't have a better slicer. And the handle is the most comfortable of all my knives.

This thread kinda gets my GOAT! 
I mean, if there were one perfect knife then why all the variety?
With the above noted reservation, I'll say that I must think this Remington Granddaddy Barlow is pretty damn great based on the following evidence - one, there are a bunch of pics of it in my gallery so I must find it aesthetically pleasing. Two, the ever deepening patina is a visual testament to its broad utility. And three, it's one of a very few knives that defy the rotation - all the others circulate in and out of my knife boxes but this one is always out and ready to go.

I mean, if you only get one knife you may as well make it a knife-and-a-half

Well, I’m going to piggyback on

choice. Awhile back when I saw him post this knife I knew I had to find one. I finally found one at a reasonable price. Thanks Ed! I really love this knife!

If you'd asked me this question 45 years ago, it would have been this one...
Back then there was no such thing as a Leatherman or an SOG multi-tool so this was it. Nowadays I never leave home without a multi-tool on my belt and a few blades in my pocket. I don't see myself ever being is a position where I only had 1 blade, but if I did, I might have to grab this one actually.
