Best looking folders (opinions)

There's something about the RJ Martin designs that I really like. The Norseman(Grimsmo) is nice also

Those norseman's are crazy smooth. Did you know he machines his own bearing cages!?! Talked a bunch with him at blade, really cool guy.
 
Purple bodega, my knife to be :cool:

No pics, but I love my Kershaw Volt 3600.
I have a Protech Godfather with black handle, black blade, black carbon fiber inserts in the handle and a white Mother of Pearl button. Sexy!
I also have a William Henry Gentech with Ironwood that looks mighty fine.
Kershaw Blue Titanium Bump with Kreined blade.
Spyderco Valloton Sub-hilt folder.
A. G. Russell Gents Liner-lock with Quince handles and Titanium bolsters.
KAI Ken Onion 8" Chef's knife is a beauty with damascus blade.
Cas Iberia Paul Chen Citizen knife is unique and attractive.
Case/Bose Lanny's Clip collaboration in chestnut bone. So smooth.
 
I use modern folders and recognize their usefulness, but they can't hold a candle to good old carbon steel and bone or stag when it comes to looks.

The first one has a lock inspired on Opinel's viro-block.
 
A couple have been sold over the years, but here is some eye candy from my collection.

I've never seen a sebenza, mnandi, or TA Davidson or J Oeser knife that I didn't like.

what about the sebenza is so popular??? I just dont see anything in it, what is it u like about it, because it might just be my the angle im looking at it (metaphysically, not literally)
 
Another fan of simplicity here... somewhat more traditional designs also appeal to me more than modern or "tactical" stuff.

Among the blades I don't have, I like the look of M.C. Cognet's "Le Thiers". It's like a classy little scimitar for the pocket.

Among the folders I own, my Kuo He Ji shih-ling dao, hands down:
