It's evolved over time.

Today, Gerber LST in my pocket. IF I carry a knife on my belt, it's a Gerber magnum LST. Sometimes that goes in my pack, otherwise either one of the skeletonized Buck fixed blades or a rubber handled Vanguard.

At various times in the past I've carried a "first generation" Gerber LMF without serrations, Buck folding hunter / Special / General, a couple small Browning knives, some off brand stuff, swiss army knives.

I'm not really particular. If I can put an edge on it and it holds that edge through gutting and skinning a deer, it's good enough. Today I lean towards lighter knives over heavier if the functionality is the same for my uses. That Gerber LMF remains one of my favorite knives of all time but I don't carry it anymore.
