I'm thinking of a blade that's sleek and sexy for EDC this time around. The blades I'm considering are the Boker Plus Kwaiken, Urban Trapper, or ZT 0450. What are the opinions of those blades? Personal experience?

What else should I throw in the mix for consideration?
 
I went with the 450.
Better fit and finish and blade steel

Out of the 3 id say kwaiken. Send the ti out fo custom anodization and you've got a real sexy blade.

Benchmade 531/530 very sleek and sexy, also a bit wicked ;)

Can't go wrong with a military either. Sleekest knife of its size. Just don't try and do something sexy with the spydie hole...

Kizer rogue is another honorable mention.
 
I haven't handled any of the others, but the Urban Trapper is a fantastic elegant, slim, & lightweight EDC. It's less than a third the weight of the Kwaiken and half the weight of the ZT, and half the price too. Not a great choice if you're going for something hard-use, but the lockup is solid and the mirror-polished VG-10 takes a really fine edge.

I have a Sebenza and a Rockstead, but the Boker still gets pocket time when I need something slim and light.

For fun I'll throw the Kizer Splinter into the mix for your consideration as well.
 
The 0450 and Mini Kwaiken are both good choices. Here are mine (they've had a little work done by spketch and Razor Edge Knives:
