Wow, I REALLY like that one. I would almost like that one better without the guard, as the lines are so clean and flowing, and the curve of the handle and the curve of the blade complement each other so well that I feel the guard interrupts the curve, somehow. I expect I'll be hugely in the minority on that, but to me, this one looks like something I'd expect one of the elves in Lord of the Rings to wield. Gorgeous handle, love the lines of the primary bevels too.
