The Sexiest Knife Feature

I see no option for Sebenza......

For me daggers are the sexiest knives. I have had a bunch of them over the years but end up selling them or just neglecting them as they have very limited uses.

Have a good few, and like them as well. Carried a Gerber Mark I as a boot knife for several years - the only dagger I have carried - good knife!

I can see that, even still, everyone’s got a.. thing. Whether it’s bums or bust..

Or eyes and personality!

Booty all day, and gotta be the blade shape. Close second is handle comfyness.

Compound hollow grind in Damascus had my attention on this one, along with the copper striations in the fat carbon. I had to have it! I seen it and traded two good folders for it since my pockets didn’t have more than lint in ‘em. Pics don’t do it justice. Probably the “busiest” knife in my collection.

Btw - I agree on fullers!! Love em.

Same here. I love them and have a few, but they are so limited in use I seldom carry any of them, and just ordered another one...

Grip design and usability.

Mike Stewart is a POS, but recurves are by far the sexiest parts of knives.

Love fullers but for me it is guards! (So long as they are part of the blank and not an additional piece)

As far as sexy goes, if that's what it is, I'm very attracted to the double grind blades

Ed sure makes a purty blade....

 

[Delgadonine]

The integrity of the maker is the "sexiest feature" IMO. A maker who stands behind their products and builds knives made to last

Confidence in the maker. I voted for 'performance'. I guess 'performance' of the maker. I think integrity is the best word for what we're thinking.

Crispy. Edge.

That is all.

I've seen pics of some semi-x rated scrimshaw handles that hype up the hypothalamus.

I voted for a few of them since it depends on the knife. I wouldn't consider practical features to be sexy, they're enough for me to keep a knife but not to get excited about one despite its shortcomings.

For fixed blades, I'm a sucker for subhilts, and for traditionals, swing guards. I guess those go under the guard category.

For folders, I'm more inclined to keep a knife I like if it's a 4" blade, since nicer large knives are hard to come by.

If the blade shape is unique and interesting, that contributes a lot to the overall look.

I do like fullers, especially if they're a little sharp and positioned to enable reverse flicking.

I like my knives like I like my women! It’s all about the curves baby!!!

 

[Medieval Peasant]

This one really did it for me.

 

[shunsui]

Not sure if sexy is the right term. I think it's more about attraction.

I see that shite eating' grin......

For me its the ergos.
I can make any blade sharp.

Usually handle/scale appearance just above blade design. Folder vs Fixed may vary.
