What’s your perfectly executed knife?

The best action, feel and size for me is this Keen from Kaviso (another Ray Laconico). So good I have another one on the way.

Those Laconico Keens really turned out nice. I got one from the Massdrop, and as soon as it came, I ordered another.
 
They really are great, I have a Massdrop version on the way and Kaviso has a new smaller version coming out this month. They are even going to have a 14C28 Aluminum version for $70 or so I think.

Some Spyderco knives are made in Taiwan, AKA the Republic of China, which is a democratic and very capitalist republic with a minimum wage over US$5.00 per hour and a history of high-quality manufacturing.

Some of Spyderco's knives are made in China (very decent quality) and some are made in Taiwan (outstanding quality). I’ve been quite impressed with knives coming out of Taiwan for some time and knives like some of my Cold Steels are unbelievably well made, especially for the price. Taiwan is virtually the world’s sole producer of latest gen semi-conductors (the most complex manufactured goods in history) so you’d better believe they are capable of producing world-beating items. So good in fact that we are on a catastrophic collision course with China over this.

Every spyderco military that I has been phenomenal, but the CF/TI S90V sprint was f’n perfection.

I picked up a TRM Neutron 2 and added the classic Neutron clip and I have to say it is small knife perfection.
 
Communist China or Democratic China: I still do not have an esthetic appreciation for that bit hole in the hump look.
 
For me, my Damascus Mnandi's and William Henry's are my best Production knives. All my customs are superb, even the pre-owned ones. I'll post pics of Mnandies, WH, and maybe some of the customs. BFers love us some photos. And I love me some Damascus, much to the wife's dismay.

PS: If someone wants to know about a specific knife, just let me know.

I think all of us blade snobs can all pick something we just don’t like about every knife, and even acknowledge it, beyond our brand loyalty ( and I’m a Microtech HO). For me, the perfectly executed knife for what it was intended is the ESEE 3. Simple, comfortable, functional
 
I have already answered the OP question with my CRK Mnandi being my most perfectly executed knife but recently I was looking at my Spyderco Lil’ Navigator, the backlock version, and that is one REALLY well executed knife. In fit and finish it gives my Mnandi a real run for it’s money.
 
Koenig Arius and Chaves Sangre 229 for me. No play or lash. Perfect ergos for my hand, etc. absolutely perfect knives
