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

To me the Hatori Fighter style blade is the best looking blade ever made. I don't have one but here is the picture of the knife from someone else:

A Finnish puukko with hand-forged blade and a stacked birchbark handle.

Mine is neither hand-forged nor has it a birchbark grip (it's leather), but it's what I got (not my photo, obviously). The blade is 105 mm long, or 4-1/8".

So many beautiful knives on those pages...
For a production knife that I own, I think it's the mentioned before by few posters, the SOG Recon Bowie:

As much as I hate what Sog has done with the company over the years their older bowie knives, and this Recon Bowie, in particular is/was very nice!
 
I can never say any one "best"; because there are so many awesome knives out there that appeal in so many ways.

But I've always been partial to the curves of the Blackjack Mamba!

I've always liked the form-follows-function school of thought. With that in mind I think some of Gayle Bradley's new fixies are just gorgeous.

It very hard to say "best looking" when there are some knives out there that are absolute works of art - and some of them in the thousands of dollars. So I'll humbly submit "the best looking knife that I own" - and the pics do NOT do it justice.
