What folder do you consider the “best-looking” folder?

[cbach8tw]

Without putting too much thought into it, i think a a Boker single blade trapper, or a Boker spear point Barlow, etched blades. Classic and great lines, any kind of handle, but jigged bone or stag always look nice.

Secondly, it is no secret that I admire Corto Malt’s spear point French knife in wood handle, made by a French artist/maker.

Very subjective topic but I have to agree that Hinderer xm-18 3.5" are the best looking folder IMO.

Chris Reeve Knives drop point Sebenza. Classic. Timesless. Perfection.

Honestly tough to just narrow it down to a dozen folders, let alone one.

For moderns: It's not an expensive knife, but I love the look of the Civivi Praxis. Something about it just yells at me "An affordable user with some style".

For traditionals: Any pocket-worn, well used traditional folder with a heavy patina on the blade.

I appreciate the aesthetic flow of the WE Seer. It might be my most attractive knife.

I've got nothing against the more modern folders, but the Buck 110 and Buck 112 are just so iconic.
And beautiful scales just make them even more awesome (water buffalo on the 110 and elk on the 112).
They are just so very pleasing to the eye and to the touch...

The Pena Apache looks perfect to me.

I forgot about that older ZT. That thing is functional art.

I don’t think I can pick an absolute best looking folder, but some of the Al Mar knives were very very nice.

Yes! Love my Sere 2K.

The knife I think of whenever someone on here doubts the durability of a liner lock.
