Photos "Less is more" style knives

[SwissHeritageCo]

Searched but couldn't find a thread dedicated for simple, clean and elegant "less is more" designs.

I'll start off with my grail folder which sadly I do not own.... and even if I did I probably couldn't bring myself to give it the abuse that such a beautiful utilitarian design deserves. The MBK XLC:

A lot of Spyderco designs, really. Although elegant is debatable, they are certainly utilitarian.

Edit: Oh sorry, I didn't catch you wanted pictures. I sold my last CRK a few years ago, ups. Oh well.

How about this instead? The griptilian is certainly a very purpose focused design. That + its got the hole in the blade, so same thing as a Spyderco right? I think its got a certain elegance to it.

Friction folders: the most knife for the least money.

Take a look at the Buck Langford. Nice knife, inexpensive.

Simple, clean and elegant seem to fit these Boker+ LRFs.

As well as this Boker BFF.

Ray Laconico is in a class all his own with “ simple clean and elegant “ MBK does a nice job turning his designs into production knives but if get a chance to own a custom do!

I don’t think it’s possible to get a less is more knife than a CRK of any kind. Just my 2 cents!!

Great examples, love that big lanyard hole on the boker fixed. Block handles are among my favorites.

Couldn't agree more, the man has impeccable taste. I don't forsee myself owning/using any $500 folders but if I did... it would definitely be a custom Laconico
