Beautiful Mate, the finish is superb, one thing i love about that knife is the handle shape, looks very comfortable, ideal mate
I don't know if there is THE knife, but out of all the different knifes I've tried I keep coming back to my Enzo Trapper in O1.
Sandbender, nice knife, who makes it? 
Being the RM nerd I am, I noticed that in his Extreme Survival series, he uses a woodlore that is quite worn down, compared to the shiny looking one in the bushcraft series.
Anyone know how many woodlores Ray has gone through?

Hes on his 4th as far as i am aware
he uses a antler handled version with brick red liners as opposed to the standard woody.
I've found my perfect slipjoint SAK: a huntsman I've had since I was 8.
The perfect locking SAK, a tradesman.
The perfect single blade locker, a Byrd Raven plain edge.
All with convex edges, I'm waiting on a potential perfect fixed knife, it's a custom, should be with me in a month or two.

Good thread
My missus and I were discussing this only the other day - how I've bought and sold a large number of fixed blade knives over the years, and always been hankering after something different. I've had the same fixed blade for about 2 or 3 years now, and have no intention of changing it. It's a Fallkniven F1 - not everyone's cup of tea, but I like it and it seems to suit me quite well.
I'm aware that it has its limitations - on the one hand it doesn't slice and do delicate carving as well as a thinner scandi grind like a Mora, neither does it chop and hack as well as a longer, heavier blade. I do find, however, that FOR ME, the F1 is a really good compromise between all the possible needs I have from a fixed blade knife. It can be pushed to cut delicate fuzz sticks with a little patience, and will batten split 4 or 5 inch logs too. Can't ask for much more.
I think I've found a tool I'm really happy with and I'm sticking with it.

i used to have an F1 until someone nicked it out of my bergan while on exercise , they are great knives imo
Yes, almost any time I buy a fixed blade, for about a couple of weeks or so Then I start looking for the next one...
But that's not a matter of searching for the perfect blade, I think, it's more that I like knives..
At the end of the story the knife I use the most is a Mora Clipper..

Quick answer, No.
A knife is a tool as such there is no one tool that will do every job e.g I have a 13mm combination spanner that works very well in many situations, however I also have a drawer full of 13mm spanners, sockets, crowfoot wrenches and box spanners, all of which get used for different jobs as and when required. I will no doubt need to make /modify spanners for different jobs in the future, I do have favourites, which just feel better to use, but they will not ever be the only one I'll ever need.
ATEOTD the right tool for the job is the right tool for the job.
