This was super hard, and u feel like I left too many favorites on the table!

A very talented family. Travis, I apologize for the error. I was busy admiring your knives and missed a cue. Good luck!
Yep, that mix up happens alot.
Seward 15-1. Innovative, cool.
DesRosiers 18-1. Saw this one at ICCE, beautiful knife.
Fisk 19-4. Because, Sendero.
Doyle 27-1.
Doyle 43-1. Both Doyles are the shape I envision first when I think "hunter."
Crowder 32-9. Because we can't vote for all ABS styles. Dovetailed double bolsters and pearl on a tapered tang is hard to execute.
DesRosiers 40-1.
Seward 15-1. Innovative, cool.

So there are lots of REALLY cool knives here, some that amaze me, but yet don't scream hunter. I like a guard and a blades not to long. If this was "Coolest Knives" thread, my voting would be different.
Post 10-1 Andrsen. When I think hunter, I think of Karl
Post 12-1 Breda. simplistic elegance
Post 15-1 Seward. Not so simplistic, but very elegant.
Post 15-2 Seward. This one just has it
Post 19-3 Fisk. Need I say more. This one looks a little shorter, I like that!
Post 27-1 Doyle. He makes some awesome hunters, though I like them with guards.
Post 28-4 boeck. Really great knife.

#15-1 Seward: The first time I saw this knife, I decided I had to start stalking Ben. Love his knives
#18-1 Adam DesRosiers: I agree with the another poster, Adam is in a class by himself and I love everything about this knife. I think it's the most beautiful knife in the world (well maybe tied with the Ladysmith...)
#18-2: Ben Breda: I went back and forth between this entry and #12-1 of Ben's. Since I own this one, I went with it - I love the clean but carved look and Ben has produced several knives now that make me want them.
#19- 4: Fisk Sendero Dog Star: I'm pretty sure this is the one I saw at the Fisk Micro show. I wanted it so badly. The Damascus is gorgeous.
#31-1: Craddock: Where did these come from? Beautiful. I really liked both of them. Now I'm going to have to go research this knife maker. I feel dumb not knowing more about him.
#36-3: Haley DesRosiers: If Haley makes it, I want to own it. Her knife designs are so incredibly beautiful yet functional. I will also get in line for those who want to get this one away from Kevin.
#40-1: Haley DesRosiers: My last vote and I had several knife makers that I wanted to choose another one of their knives - so this one goes to Haley...because she made it, and it's beautiful.
So many, many great entries. This really opened my eyes up to some knife makers I didn't know. Thank you.
