Welcome gd. Cool topic,and i think its the root of all our searches, and the reason i started as an amatuer knife maker.
But for now, i would have to say that my favorite all-around, if i only had one knife, do-it-all, indestructible, SHTF, total beast of a tool, is my Regulator.
I'm sure that if you get your hands on one you wont be disappointed.
Regards, Mike
