What is the most beautiful knife on earth?

Forget about toughness, efficiency, reputation, sharpness, weight, size, year, price, designer, country... For once, let's just talk about BEAUTY. In YOUR eyes, what's the most beautiful knife on earth?

Of course, it's a totally personal decision. But that's what makes the thread interesting: express your taste, regardless of other criteria.

BUT you can't find a sh..ty knife beautiful, can you? Which makes the thread a little more complex than it seems... ;)

So... please comment! say why you find THIS knife unbeatably great to look at. And let's not make it too politically correct: your taste is the only taste that matters to you, so you are RIGHT to prefer what you prefer. Be proud and stand your ground. When it comes to beauty, "IMHO" is for the weak. :)

(Pics, or at leat links to pics, are highly welcome.)

My choice: the Sog Tech Bowie (99018), because I immediately fall in deep love every time I see its perfectly-shaped shiny and dark blade. This blade made me start loving knives: it was the beginning of it all in my heart and will never be challenged, period.

Either a Fallkniven SK6 Krut, or a Blackjack Halo Attack. Sorry I cant do pictures.

Beauty is in the eye the beholder, of course, but for me, nothing rivals a good Japanese tanto (or ko wakizashi, in this case) like this Aoe School 12th century blade.

A perfect katana blade is something that very few things in the world can challenge. This one is from the 17th century. Look at that... Some kind of absolutely deadly power packaged in pure poetry...

I can't post pics, but,

edcknives.com, search handmade knives, Elishewitz, Allen.

It's a version of his Anubis, I think, and I enjoy knives, but this is more like lust....
 
I'll offer up two of mine. The first one isn't rare, but the simple lines of a sebenza have always appealed to me. A nice damacus really sets it off, and I got a custom graphic of my family on it, which to me makes it "beautiful." :)

The second is by Kyle Royer and is amazing.

That fixed blade is so freakin sweet. I have seen it before but I cant get enough of it:cool:
 
Call me weird, but there is a distinct beauty in the look of a Becker knife with the coated blade showing wear from use.
 
It would be really hard to choose but one of these would be my choice.
