Best looking folders (opinions)

Pretty much anything Serge Panchenco does (he's on our knifemakers section also).. http://sergeknives.com/page2.html

Customs will trump any production model...

If you go into the Knifemakers section, you will be amazed by how many fantastic craftsman are on here and the original designs they come up with. Functional art is what they create.
 
I'm partial to the large Sebenza 21. I love it's lines, just does it for me.

Hogue EX-01. I probably enjoy staring at and fondling this knife more than any in my arsenal.
 
Cold steel ak-47 because it has an aggressive, practical, and functional look which to me makes it look sexy. plus i've owned it before so there is a level of bias.

Don't own one but I certainly lust over any of Ray Laconico's slim folders. Keep hoping I'll find a reasonable deal on a preowned one someday...
 
I think the EX-04 is a truly beautify knife. Not to mention very functional design.

 
For aesthetics I generally prefer very plain knives, with brilliantly executed simplicity.

The normal Sebenza does this for me, some nice inlays dress it up a hair too.

While I think the Sebenza is lackluster as far as work performance, with many knives a fraction of the cost having much better designs, it simply looks good. That deep hollow grind is shmexy, and the simple Ti finish, etc...
 
I can't help but find myself staring at three folders on a consistent basis, I own all three but still stop and state when I see pics posted on here

1. Any opinel, especially those that have seen some handle modding or sport a nice patina from use

2. Brand new SAKs, looking at the mirror polished tools and the unmarked shiny cellidor makes me want to order a new one every time

3. Buck 110, love the look of that brass and wood together, and that nice big blade with the deep hollow grind is pretty to look at

I have inexpensive taste
 
I'm still quite green and have lot to see, but so far I love the Benchmade 943, the only nice knife I own (although I don't posses it yet, its still shipping), and Scott Cook's Lochsa, which I neither own nor posses, and from what I've seen of their desirability, probably never will.
