#1. Victorinox Alox Harvester, my favorite "work" knife, this one gets pounded daily opening boxes, sharpening pencils, cutting felt paper and house wrap, picking splinters, opening paint cans, cutting string, scraping off drywall mud, cleaning goo from fingernails, etc.
#2. Schatt & Morgan F&W Mountain Man, so slick and perfect I have to use it! My first really nice knife.
#3. Case 6375CV stockman, for whittling and tinkering with wood and such chores. Everyone needs a traditional stockman, and you can't get much more traditional than an amber bone chrome vanadium carbon steel Case.
#4. Queen 41LCSB copperhead, always in a pocket somewhere, perfect for going to town, compact and lightweight, but enough for any basic knife use. I like the liner lock.
#5. A new favorite, I guess it'll be a favorite, since I haven't used it yet, but I just love it so far, the Buck 805 sheath knife. Superior steel, ultra sharp, and beautifully finished. Cannot wait to use this one on the next small game hunt.
I have several folding hunters and other different styles, but the first four listed above are always in use, and I doubt that #5 will be lacking either.
I've investigated the modern pocket clip one handers, but so far none have been intriguing enough to convert me. I do like the Buck Adrenaline Ti and Benchmade Griptillian, so I might be tempted one of these days.

The first 3 I have had for over 20 years, given to me as gifts;
Buck 110 (chores/hunting)
Uncle Henry/Old Timer (Pocket/hunting)
Ka-Bar USMC 7" fighting knife (camping)
Cold steel SRK (fishing/hunting/travel); I almost lost this to a Canadian Border Guard 10 years ago. I insisted it was my hunting knife. He kept asking me over and over "Is this for defense?". I stuck with my Hunting explanation, and he let me through. He told me if I had said in any way the knife was for "defense", he would have confiscated it. I have not returned to Canada since

Victorinox Swiss Army Knife Nite Manager
Himalayan Imports 18" Kobra Khukuri
Himalayan Imports 15" Ang Khola Khukuri
Camillus Heat folder (AO)
Ontario Bagwell Hell's Belle bowie knife
Honorable Mention: SOG Trident folder, SOG Seal 2000, SOG Seal Pup, Benchmade Apparition, Benchmade Griptilian, Kershaw Onion Leek, Kershaw Onion Leek Rainbow, CRKT M16
The really small (Nite Manager) and the really big (khukuris and bowie) are represented. The Nite Manager is on my keychain and is used multiple times a day. The big knives are shiny and beautiful and look really lethal. I use the Ang Khola for chopping boxes and other things.
