Best looking knives

Two that i have owned that i would call "very good looking" are the BM-HK 14255 Tanto and the Spyderco Yo2. Those aggressive blades do it for me.

However , I find the Sebenza to be one of the most (if not THE most) plain , boring and unattractive looking knives I have ever held. Snooze-fest. But to each his own.

And although I have not owned or carried any , the offerings from Sniper and William Henry look outstanding.

I thought the same thing. Until I found out about the "Unique" graphics. Like the one on my Sebenza (the graphic is called "Sea Breeze", and this is a small 21):

 
I can appreciate the effort to liven up the otherwise bland handle. But wouldn't these graphics just wear off eventually?

I respectively remain unimpressed .
 
Are we doing folders or Fix blades? I have Three of them I absolutely love sorry... can't pick one :)

Warenski built a recreation of the gold dagger found in King Tut's tomb. Making the knife took five years and it contained 32 ounces of gold including a blade cast from gold and specially heat treated. This knife was a stand-alone project, but became the first of his "Legacy Knives". He followed this knife with a knife he called "The Gem of the Orient", which incorporated 153 emeralds totalling 10 karats and 9 diamonds with a total weight of 5 karats. These gems were set to accent the gold filigree which overlaid the jade handle. It took Warenski 10 years to make this knife and it was sold for $2.1 million (US). The third knife in this series was named "Fire and Ice"; this knife contained 28 ounces of 18K gold, 22 rubies totaling 4.25 karats and 75 diamonds totaling 7 karats. The handle for this knife was constructed of quartz, accented with red enamel.

Um... Nope! The design is acutally carved into the titanium. And anodizing lasts for a long, long time. Almost anything else in this threads would wear off by the time the anodizing wears off.

What is in your opinion, the best looking knife ever produced?
For me, I'ts the Sebenza 21, the titanium just looks awesome;)

Best looking in what regard? Knives that're best looking for display purposes aren't the same as the best looking knives intended for purely utilitarian purposes.
 
River of fire sebenzas make me drool, and I don't even usually like damascus. This picture is borrowed from member MVH:

I'm also a sucker for the Tispine's looks, though I've yet to try one.

I like the Mnandi and a Congress pattern with a nice handle material - this one is elk.

There's a large variety of exciting and aesthetically-pleasing Sebenzas out there with a variety of handle designs/materials, blade shapes, etc.
 
This is a custom knife Mel Pardue made for me last fall:

This was the previous holder of the 'best looking knife' title, a Buck Custom Shop 110 in teardrop Damascus, nickel silver, and flaming koa wood:

My first CRK was the WC 'StarTac' variant of an Umnuumzaan - it's a looker - and a great pocket carry user, note the patina:

My other CRK folder is a small plain Sebbie... with noted emphasis on plain. I'm sorry, a great and useful knife, no doubt, but the best I could muster for it is that it is 'cute'.
