Well, if I had to pick just one all around hunting knife to carry forever and ever amen, I would have to give the Randall 25-5 the nod. To me, a 5" blade made of good carbon steel is about perfect. Now, if I was hunting big critters....

Holy moly. I need to get out of my cave more often. That's some serious steel, you guys.

ESSE Izula II. Not terribly trad looking with a Kydex sheath, but beauty is as beauty does! If you want to save a few $ you can get the Izula I, but I much prefer the micarta handle slabs and length. I don't care for parachord wrap, once it's been inside a deer's chest cavity you'll know why.

Wow, someone resurrected this thread, eh? Might as well update it then.
I opted to "make" a knife and have since made a few using blade blanks and scales. Here's the one I made for myself using a Helle hidden tang blade. I actually finally put it to use on a deer this past Sunday and it performed very well. Sorry for the iPhone pic.
Thanks again for all the input, Gang. Rusty

General duty knife from kellam also marketed by Martinni knives called their "bait knife" both are made by kellam. Razor sharp out of the box, the same excellent steel they use in all their knives and all for a grand total of......$10.00. Without a doubt the best knife out their for the money IMO.

I love the way my Buck Vanguard fits me. I ordered another one today with S30V steel. The first one has 420 HC and it does everything I need it to.
