I look over so many knives and know little about them. I buy strictly for appearance and feel, little utility and lots of handlng. I have a Delica 4 to carry and a large Kershaw in the car. I have in my cart at Knifeworks the Manix 2, BM 940 and ZT 350 Any suggestions? Weight is not a factor. Higher priced ones due to a titanium handle are out for me. I can afford ONE of these.
 
I would get the Manix 2, but have you considered a Spyderco Endura in stainless steel? Provided the one you have has a FRN or G-10 handle.

I own a Spyderco Endura with a serrated edge and a stainless steel handle (an older model with a sharper tip) and it is the one knife most people are drawn to, when I show them my collection.

The combination of the fully serrated blade and the stainless handle really make it stand out. It also feels great in the hand.

Manix 2 all the way... it is an unbelievable knife for what it cost. The Manix 2 is a hard use knife that is hands down much more refined than the ZT350 and way more interesting than the 940. Did I mention that it's a great value too.
 
Well, if you're going on appearance and feel only, then I would simply get the one that appeals to you most visually.

Normally I'd go with a Spyderco or a BM, but if you're gonna throw the ZT in there, I'd go with that, given your qualifications. It is a very sturdy knife, so you can be assured you'll be receiving a good tool, and it's probably the most visually stunning (in that I'm-gonna-kick-your-A kinda way). You can't really go wrong with any of those options, but that would be where I'd put my vote, given what you'd specified. All things considered, if you're just buying for looks, then that's all up to you anyway.
 
As Apebrains said, Zero Tolerance is a great choice. Look at the ZT0300, ZT0301 and ZT0302. My 300 is a tank and is currently my hard-use folder. The ZT550 should be released soon also and is worth a look.
 
Thanks for all this help. The Manix has always been a favorite but on the basis of these replies I will ponder longer. The ZT looks great to me, too.
