Toss up between the Buck 110 and the Buck 119. Probably the 119 tho.

I am somewhere north of 300 knives, everything from 2 for a dollar to $1000+. Pocket knives, sheath knives, swords, machetes, switch blades, gravity knives, etc. Oh, and kukris, tomahawks and axes.
Which one would I pick? Without a doubt, my Randal Model 14 Attack.
But how about a longer answer? I carry a SAK every day. And a Gerber Applegate Covert Auto. Sometimes I add a Leatherman Original.
If I'm going out to the farm, I usually add my BlindHorse Knives Bushcrafter. It is a very non-threatening knife and incredibly useful.
Always in my truck are a Gerber Prodigy, a spare SAK and spare multi-tool, along with 3 days worth of food and water, dust masks, fire making kit, cook set, 2 compasses, a GPS, topo maps of my state, binoculars, carabiners, a rescue pulley, 100' of 1/2" climbing rope, an axe, and a bowsaw.
My wander around in the woods kit is a 32oz Pathfinder Bottle kit, in a molle compatible bag with a shoulder strap. Another Gerber Prodigy is attached to it and the bag holds an alcohol stove, cup/cook pot w/lid, spork, 3 ways to make fire, and a small bag with hot choclate, tea, and 2 types of bouillon.
My zombie apocalypse vest has a Gerber LMF2 attached, along with a Glock 22, 5 extra Glock mags, 6 extra MagPul 30 mags for the CAR, a tritium compass, 2 GI canteens w/cups and lids and an angle head flash light.
My Boy Scouting rig is a large 2 bladed Case Scout knife, with a SAK in my pocket.
Bored yet?
My hunting rig is either a walnut handled Buck Vanguard or Schrade sharp finger "Little Finger". And always my SAK.
When I used to go to Rendezvous I carried a Ken Richardson Large Bowie and a KR patch knife. My tomahawk I made myself and my throwing knife was a Gemmer Beavertail.
Did I mention the Bayonets?
Oh, and I also collect compasses.

Poop hit the fan? World is ending soon? Zombies?
I'd pull out the old beat up Randall Made Knife and use it for it's intended purpose...
I think even a zombie will be impressed by this pig sticker.

My one and only? It would be between the Schrade USA 15OT or the 152OT. Since someone already said the 15OT Deerslayer, I'll pick the 152OT Sharpfinger. It's a bit smaller, but very easy to wield.

It used to be if a boy couldn't be trusted with a pocket knife by the time he was eight or nine years old he was considered a wastrel by adults and a failure among his peers. I have been carrying a some variation of the classic Scout knife for better than 60 years, mostly a GI Camillus. When I have to dress "nice," I like something a little smaller in the pocket like Buck Cadet.
But, if SHTF, I think I would opt for the added capabilities of an M7 bayonet.

About 40 years ago I had a friend who was at least in his late 60s at the time. He was the definition of "old school" (in the best of ways) and had owned a service station for many years. When he interviewed a potential employee he would pick at his thumbnail and casually ask if the guy had a knife on him he could borrow. Any man who didn't carry a pocketknife was not prepared to go out into the world, and would not get hired, period.
Back on topic, I have a pretty decent knife collection -- some very cheap advertising knives, and some that I think are pretty nice. In answer to the op's query, I would guess my K-bar folder, or my Buck folder, although my Glock 78 field knife might be a good choice too because it doesn't look like it's worth stealing
OK .......after 40 years .... got to ask...... what are the little "thingies" for?????
I carry a Leatherman on my hip and a Electricians knife in my pocket but for field work I use my 6.5 Inch Schrade hunting knife with leather sheaf for it. It cuts my patchs in a flash for my Black Powder rifles.
They were originally designed as some sort of grappling hook and are designed to support 600 lbs. I'm thinking probably more gimmick than anything but it is a well-made knife, heavy and sharp.
The anchors (or pins) are removable.
The sheath has a sharpener on the back and the pouch holds a Silva compass.

My EDC is a small Sebenza. For this scenario, I would take my Fallkniven A2, as that is what is designed to do.
This should do it. Actually, I found this in an old gun bunker on the ocean side of Point Loma, San Diego in 1952.
If not, this will work.

Since we're talking one knife for everything including self defense I feel like it should be a fixed blade. After careful consideration I decided that rather than one of my beloved Bucks this Bark River Bravo 1 would be my choice. It has a lot of steel in the blade, great convex edge, comfortable handle and the sheath is top notch.

As I understand it the spikes are so that a SEAL could tie his gear or other object to the knife then hook those spikes into or onto something to hold the item in place underwater until he came back for it. Something along those lines anyway.
