Favorite single blade slipjoint?

I would have to say it's a toss-up at any given moment.

Right now, it's probably this Barlow that Keith Johnson made for me, but that could change tomorrow.

That's a beauty, Rob. I don't know how I missed seeing it.

Here's one I like because of it's utility. It's a Small Rounder made by Jerry Halfrich with a modified Wharncliffe blade. Covers both my bellied blade and straight blade requirements, most of the time.

I have a hard time calling any one of my single blade knives my favorite though. It's part of the knife nut thing I guess.
 
I'd have to go with my Halfrich Baby Rounder, it's a daily carry.

Gary it seems we have similar tastes in knives :)

Mine is my modified tl-29 that glennbad fixed for me perfect size and weight for most of my adventures. Pictures will have to wait til this business trip us over.

I think you're right, Jerry! That's a nice one too.
 
My Northfield #23 linerlocks are my faves (locking slipjoints), one safequeen in primitive bone, and one user in burnt stag.

This is my very favorite single blade slip joint knife. Carried by a very dear friend for 40-50 years of his life.

Amazing knife on its own merits, jackknife, not to mention the history. What a treasure.
 
Some questions are easier to answer than others.

Case barehead slimline trapper. I wish I could get one with GEC's attention to detail and acrylic scales.

Though that new nifebright #15 one hand jack is seeing an awful lot of pocket time lately. It's really struck me more than expected.
 
Prisoner 6 that knife is amazing!!

Here are three of my favorites, I couldn't choose just one! I just spent the last 10 minutes in front of my knives thinking about it, and narrowing it down to these was the best I could do:)

 
I would have to agree with Jerry and Gary, this Jerry Halfrich Rounder would my favorite single blade slipjoint,
