I collect knives, so my list will be longer than most. On backpacking trips this summer, it will be:

Bark River North Star
Spyderco UKPK
Stockman, either a Queen or Moore Maker
Victorinox Farmer (for the saw)
Leatherman Squirt
Victorinox Classic (for the scissors)

I used to not carry a fixed blade, but on a trip two years ago I decided to take one and it ended up being very useful; I had to baton a bunch of branches off a fallen aspen that was blocking access to the only reasonable spot to cross a river. Since then, I make it a point to bring one.
