Best looking blades?

[Dr Heelhook]

There's something about this Hill version of the Fairbairn/Sykes that just really appeals to me. I like the different shape of the blade and the sturdier handle compared to the original:

Hey RAT, your put down of the OSS is worthy of your name. Unfortunately it's all too common on this forum. Whatja do? Sell your pickup truck [ complete with your gun rack}so you could afford a Busse, and now to justify the expense, you have to attack any knife that's actually available at a reasonable price?

Although I rarely speak French they have a saying:

Custom Folding Karambit I had done for me...fossil ivory, Alabama damascus

 

[Dag-nabit]

I'm generally not a big fan of Karambits, but that Fossil Ivory and Damascus is stunning. Beautiful knife you have there.:thumbup:

As others have stated I like the look of all my blades, that's why I bought them but I'm especially partial to Damascus for "looks". Here are a couple of my favorites.

Splice by Sean O'Hare

NL5 and HK9 by Fallkniven

These do it for me, and yes they work good too!

The Spyderco Bradley is pretty attractive but not the only attractive knife I own

I don't see much beauty in any knife and I am not into fancy or gaudy. If a knife is affordable, and functions well, it looks good to me. One exception, I hate recurves.

To me, best looking usually gets passed over for "can I use it and carry it well". Here is my current favority user and carry

That Splice has some great damascus as well. I am also a fan of old bone, these two Remington's are between 75 to 80 years old...the bone starts looking like warm caramel...

Also for me at times it isn't exotic handle material but rather simply the shape. This little knife I picked up because the shape spoke to me, the extreme curve of the clip combined with the teardrop shape of the pattern creates a striking harmony, to me at least. I paid next to nothing for this knife even tho I do believe it has a good monetary value because of it's unknown origins...no one has been able to identify where it came from tho I am thinking Middle East because of the stylized horsehead tang stamp. At any rate I think it is a case of less is more...
