Pretty much any model from R.J. Martin. I have most of his Kershaw and ZT collaborations.

for me, it would be another ray appleton, or another wolf loerchner. they're both GENIUSES in knife design and implementation (imho), albeit one deceased. appleton's IQ knives are an engineering marvel (have 2). loerchner's design (also currently have 2), and flawless implementation are a marvel of artistic design and creation. i own many knives of all kinds, but these two makers - and magnus axelson (a most original and innovative knife maker...rarely makes the same knife twice...i'm lucky enough to own his 2nd "the trebuchet"...INCREDIBLE!!!)...jzs

Thank you for this post. You lead me to look at Magnus Axelson and hence to a whole new level of design excellence.

And this in turn, lead me back to Georg Jensen whose design work inspired me way back in 1970. Design basics.

Well, a few posts back...I didn't know what I'd buy.
However...
just bought a four-pack of used SAKs for cheap...to give away.
...then ran into a nib limited production ZT 0801BRZ that I think is gorgeous and I couldn't turn it down.
So there you are...
