Beautiful knives. Which is better, owning them or taking pictures of them?

Please keep 'em coming!

The knife I currently like the looks of the best in my possession would probably be my stainless Kershaw Shallot. I am sucker for stainless handles and really love the blade shape, seem very very well thought out. Anyway, not fancy per-say but my favorite.

What I consider my most beautiful knife is constantly changing. Right now, I'd say the stag + damascus buck 110 in the upper right corner:

Sorry for the bad pic.

I have several of these Wendell Carson Fightin Bull trappers but I think this one is my favorite and my most beautiful knife.

That is simply gorgeous:thumbup:

Love the stag & file work

Thanks JTR. Wendell makes awesome knives. He uses Queen and Bulldog frames and blades (I believe) and builds them by hand with the exotic handle materials. His username on ebay is knifeman110.

My most beautiful knife is the 1st prototype for Ban Tang of San Jose Cal.
He is doing his first production run of this utility knife. This one is in
CPM 3V.

Very nice Mcusta, mine is the oak colored micarta handle, just solid VG-10 no damascus though. I have always found their thin blades and intricate handle carvings attractive, but the $180.00 price tag sucked...
Yours was more I bet cus of the damascus and all..

My Most Beautiful would have to be the knife I designed and was made for me by Art Washburn. After owning it for about 8 years there is nothing I would change. Beautiful stag scales that were hand picked for me by my friend P.J. Tomes, classic Wharncliff blade of Devon Thomas "Raindrop" pattern Damascus. All in the smoothest folder I have ever handled. It's not only beautiful to me, it is near perfect.

At the moment I'm kinda leaning towards this one as...

A few purty knives... at least to me. All fixed blades except for the 110.

I have to say I love my Bluedart.

I think that all my Buck Custom knives are 'lookers', but this Koa and BG-42 is quite nice.

 

[Guyon]

That Koa wood is gorgeous. :thumbup:

Do they all come out that nice? If so, I've got to go place an order.

This is a gorgeous knife. I touched it up a bit to bring out the colors. Buck will always be a favorite with knife owners. They're a great bargain, too, for the most part. I've still got to get a "standard" one.

 

[A.P.F.]

Hey, thanks Confederate, for the touch-up job! It looks much better. :thumbup:

@ Guyon - Most of the Koa inserts I have seen look really great. It is quite a hard wood and takes a nice finish. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Though I don't have a photo, my most beautiful knife is my Opinel. My Dad brought it back from France on a business trip, he went out of his way to get it for me...

I love the timeless elegance of my "Laguiole en Aubrac" with polished steel bolsters and horn tip scales:
