Oh man, tough decision. It would have to be one of the following.

1. Bulldog regulator... Large enough to do "Building" jobs yet with a 7 and a half inch blade it can work for other smaller purposes if you choke up on the blade, ie hold the blade about halfway in your hand.

2. Regulator... For the same reasons as stated above.

3. S5... GREAT midsize blade, sort of broad for a 5 inch blade, but not so broad that it would hinder any kind of use (inside body cavity use). It's an iconic blade shape and size, A great "Do anything" blade.

4. Wardog... Nothing more really needs to be said. Just a reiteration of the S5 observation.

OK, As much as I like the Bulldog AND the Wardog, and the Wardog handle, to me is FANTASTIC I would have to go with the S5, although I would rather go with the Wardog.

I guess I am old fashioned (and with todays steels and HT it no longer applies) where blade size, thickness and broadness, indicated how sturdy the blade would actually be.

So, in summation I would rank MY choices, (and I am not 100 percent happy with my overall choice), I would go with:

1. S5
2. Wardog
3. Bulldog.

(Of course my Cupidvore or Swamp Warden would be around my neck or in my boot)!

So my THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE blade would be......S5. And that is ONLY because of what I said above about the blade. Overall I like the Wardog better though.
