What's the best looking fixed blade in your opinion?

A Purdy knife, hmmmmm, well my Fallkniven Northern Lights Njord would fit that category, Ah, , , my Anneversary Straight Handle Battle Mistress LE, Oh one I always liked design wise, is my Bokor Vox 2011 Collection sort of looks way out, but I like it and bought it, , , Heck this is harder than I thought, both my Cold Steel Vintage Folders, the Talwar, and the Black Sable, Oh Yeah my Rajah 1, Ok last one although I can think of many more, , , knowing what I have and always loving my Ratmandu, my INFI Ratmandu is up there, very nice looking, and very functional. That's it I'm throwing in the towel.
 
Nice Hatchula bro! Those are badass.

I just wanted to jump in and say that I'm honored to have been mentioned in this thread.

Thanks. Yes they are.:thumbup: That Busse you got there is killer. Which one is that? I got a Regulator LE FFG im really looking forward to getting.

Its an honor to own one of your knives Dylan.:thumbup: Wanted one since I seen one of your sales threads a few months after joining here. Honestly think you make some if not the "thee" best looking blades around. Got this hatchula 2nd hand rescently and havent got to use outdoors., but have used on cardboard and cooking. I love this #/^$&*( knife! Slicey, solid, light, hacks great. Did I mention how got damn good it looks too.;) It will have another member of the Fletcher Knives family to keep it company at some point.

Thanks man, it's an anniversary straight handle Battle Mistress.

Was thinking Battle Mistress but wasnt sure. Busses are mostly out of my budget so dont do awhole lot of research on them. Plus with all the variants, anniversaries, LE's and some models looking kind of alike kinda hard for a simpleton like me to distinguish one from the other. I have really been looking into the "KIN" lately though. Really like the R6 i got. Would like a Hellrazor or NMSFNO at some point in life.
 
Kin are all good. I only have good things to say about em. I saw that variant swamp rat you snagged - that was a great catch. Hellrazors are very nice. Very ergonomic grip.
I've never held a NMSFNO, but I know what they look like and they should be awesome. (Those things are DAMN expensive though)
 
Love the old SOGs
I have been severely tempted to get a Blackjack, but those tiny tangs are worse than ka-bar
Guess i can get one of these instead

Felt a small NL fällkniven in a local shop recently, way cooler than i expected

If those two will not suffice there are always bigger options

I have a Blackjack model 7 and it is a nice looking knife for sure. But if I really have to pick a fixed blade knife on aesthetic basis it would be my Mauno Keränen Tommi - puukko.

Weird, that looks practically exactly like my Mikko Inkeroinen

Now the knife below will not be faithful, she won't work and needs to be pampered constantly. But she has a certain tawdry beauty, or attraction. Still she's not a knife you'd want to take home to your bugout bag.

wow, i have never seen that online, it was the first large knife i bought from those "hobby" catalogues, the pommel fell off while i was whacking some small bushes with it, so i just hammered the "tang" into a mushroom shape to keep the handle on
 
Beauty is in the usefulness to it's owner. This has served me well over the last 50 years or so.

I like my Paaso Puukot "polar" puukko

Really? Brings up the old saying, "a face that only a mother could love"

To me that looks like an exacto knife on top of a cork. I am sure it is a good knife, however, and that is what matters most, not looks.
