Before I found Busse I tried a number of "if I can only have one" general purpose survival knives. A few that come to mind include:

Becker BK2
Becker BK7
Benchmade FIXED Griptilian
Buck Nighthawk
Buck Vanguard
Camillus USAF Survival Knife
ESEE 4
Gerber LMF
Gerber LMF 2
KaBar
SOG Seal Pup

I know there are at least 5 if not 20 more that aren't coming readily to mind.
