Most beautiful knife ever made?

[Edged Tools]

Based on the handgun and long gun threads I thought we needed a knife one. This will probably be quite a bit harder for some, but include pics or links to pics.


Whats the most beautiful knife in your opinion? Feel free to list multiples in different categories, fixed, folder, auto, etc etc

Reserved...
I come from a working knife family, I carried this for 11? years and then packed it away for awhile.
My younger son now carries it, when he can.

Both have served me well for 40 years.

This one caught my eye last year, and I had to purchase it.
The Spyderco Police model has always been a favorite, and this one was customized by Santa Fe Stoneworks. They're a native American family who have worked with natural materials for generations.

This one has Woolly Mammoth tooth, inset into Jet.

This was a limited release (that I missed), but I do really like this one from ProTech

Pretty much anything that he makes...

Prettiest ones I have, in my opinion. Both have been used and abused which is a good part of their beauty to me.

I don't own one of Steve Randall's custom bowies, but I drool a lot.

If you ever get close to that knife, don't drool on it !!!

As far as fixed blades… I’m kinda partial to these

Cutting against rough rock dulls your knife. When reusing said rock keeping them clean is not very fun. They also tend to let juice drip and run all over your table. Does make for a pretty picture though, no matter how impractical.

As far as a knife. I have seen some beautiful ones. Ones I would not even want to use. To me the most valuable part of owning a knife is not how it looks, but how useful it is to my daily life....so going to take the easy out on this one and skip it.

What pattern is that!

What pattern is that!

It looks like feather, but it has a long tear in the pattern toward the tip.

Emerson Super CQC-6

Because I can't decide on one, Mick Strider custom XL with full titanium frame, the blade is Damascus with a San Mai Stellite 6K core

Last up is Marfione Custom Whale Shark, just a phenomenal looking knife.

Carlton has hand-made some real beauties.

I have this Randall that is nice. That's not the correct sheath as it is for my Gerber. I have a bunch of knice stuff with edges. I am not a knife knut but more of a knife slut. I have handmade knives by Emerson, Ryan, Mayo, etc. I am in a 12 step program...CQC12 Comrade to be specific.

My best looking knife's, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and I do like Damascus steel but these just look really good to me. Camillus KA-BAR not sure of the age of the knife, and a Kershaw skinning knife model 2314
