One of favorites is my Paul Knife by Lone Wolf.

Those Photobucket pics were distressing. I lost hundreds of nice photos using them yrs ago.
Would love pics without the advertising.

Spyderco Caribbean Salt Sheepfoot Serrated LC200N



Kidding. Ugliest knife I have ever seen.

 

[The Aflac Duck]

These two are pretty nice.

I would say my prettiest is my Gerber Harsey AirFrame with the aluminium scales from the limited production run of 1000. Looks just like this one, but mine has the serrated edge. This is the knife I keep separate and never use except to carry when I feel the need for a knife and I need to attend a formal event. The aluminium scales make it much lighter than the titanium scale version that is my EDC knife, which is a big bonus when I need to carry it in a small evening bag or clip it to the inside of an evening gown.

None of mine are what I'd consider pretty, all being users to one degree or another. I do appreciate fine design, though.

A Christmas present from my wife. She found it at a "Women in the Outdoors" weekend.

And all the other knives gathered 'round to admire the newest blade...

Every knife that I own is "attractive" to me, otherwise I would never had bought them BUT, if I were to choose a "favorite" (based on looks alone), it would probably be the Spyderco Nirvana:

Has to be this one. I've cleaned deer, cut steak, and scaled fish with this knife. And yet it's still a beauty.

Custom Damascus.

 

[P7HVN]

Favorite brand/maker is Graham, but favorite custom maker/artist is Herb Derr; his Damascus is just beautiful, as are the transitions to hilt and handle. Price for quality is really low, I don't how he does it.. crappy iPhone pics don't begin to give justice to them...

Not "pretty" in the classic sense (or compared to some of the real stunners in this thread), but I love the graceful lines of this. It is beautiful in its own flowing way:
