We all seen these on your one and only firearm. Lets switch it up . This would be your one and only Knife. Lets say some sort of it hit the fan type thing. This knife would have mutil purpose . The normal every day stuff but add to use as weapon if needed. Mine would be A Buck 110 . And yours is ???

Some flavor of Kephart. If limited to what I now own, it would be a Condor Kephart, but I might look for something with 1095 or D2 steel. Or I might just stick with 1075, considering that I might have to sharpen it on a rock.
 
One and Only

One and only knife would be a bitter pill. I have 8 lockbacks,
4 autos, 1 assisted, 1 flipper, and 1 Bowie. I like them all.
But if I could only have one I think I would choose the Kershaw
Junkyard Dog II with flipper technology. 5.2 oz. 3.75" ss blade.
I like that it's ambi-dexterous. When I carry a gun on my right
side, the knife is clipped on my left side. Shown here with my
EDC.

Would be a very tough call. I carry a Spyderco Endura every day, but I'd be tempted to keep my 45 year old Buck 119.
 
Other than a Swiss Army knife, it'd be my Benchmade Model 710, for a folder.


For a sheath knife, a Fallkniven S-1. Mine has the discontinued Kydex sheath. I also have a Swedish pouch type leather sheath. The larger A-1 is also a favorite, but the S-1 with five-inch blade is a little handier for most needs. The A-1 is a better combat knife and chopper.


Actually, especially in a jungle area, my Corneta machete with 12-inch blade makes a lot of sense. An 18-inch blade might be even more versatile.


My son recently gave me a Victorinox Hunter model of Swiss Army knife. It, too, could function in that role. Too heavy for routine pants pocket carry, it does well in a belt pouch or jacket pocket. I like the locking blade and the gutting blade cuts rope easily. The saw is also larger and more efficient than those on smaller SAK's, like the Camper model.
 
A Swiss Army knife like the one I carry daily in my non-gun pocket--- either Victorinox or Wenger, with a saw, corkscrew in back containing an instrument srewdriver in the coil, scissors and the other basic standard tools. This is compact and very versatile. The only added tool I would like is the fire starter, but you have to go to a much larger unit to get it which I am not willing to carry daily.
 
Sorry, I am already a two knife at all times guy! EDC means what you carry every day, so I can't be caught with just one knife (or zero guns!) I'm not real fancy, just a SAK Tinker, and a Kershaw/Emerson folder, they are dependable and you should be able to own the pair for $80-85.

I have a forge and an anvil. I will never have only one knife. If I only had one knife I would built a simple forge and find something for an anvil.

If I was going to get dumped in the middle of no where with only one knife it would be a fair sized full tang knife made with 5160. Hard to break, chip, not the greatest edge holder by a ways but easy to sharpen. Properly built probably the steel that will take the most punishment with out cracking or snapping. Almost every one in the Knife makers guild uses it for their journeyman test because of the chopping and bending portion of the test. First you must cut through a piece of free hanging 1" manila robe with one swing, then chop (not widdle) through a pine 2x4, then shave hair with it. Then put the the tip 1/3 of the blade in a vise and bent it to 90 decrees without it breaking. Think your knife can do that. The last thing I want with only one knife is a broken blade.

I have almost as many knives as I have guns, and I have a lot of guns. But if survival is the key, and I can only have one, a military bayonet would be my choice. I have a couple; I like the ones that went with the M-14.

See that was my problem too while I went with the Buck 110. I really havent carried one in many years yet would be first pick when it gets bad. I have many lock blades to pick from. I guess it the timeless proven blade for me.I use to carry one at work in the 80s with the black buck case on the belt. I carried it up side down so all you had to was un do rhe snap it would fall into your hand

Same for me, two every day. Generally a flat-ground Spyderco Endura (sometimes a SOG Flash II) and a Victorinox Pioneer or Super Tinker.

But if I literally could only have one for every purpose, one I know would be almost totally indestructible (nothing is 100%), it would be my Bark River Highland Special 4" fixed blade or one-of-fifteen Forager 4.5". Convex ground A2 steel cryo-treated to 58-60 Rockwell, canvas Micarta handles. Handy size, real workhorses.
 
Kershaw Speedsafe. It's the first I've carried EDC that wasn't a "in the pocket knife". It's been a few years now, and the only problem with it is that I don't keep it sharp like I should. Not the fault of the knife. I made a holster for it so it doesn't trash my Wranglers.
