the Best Looking Knife in your eyes?
Beauty, as they say, lies in the eyes of the beholder, so bring out the images from your minds, or your cupboards, and share here - which knife, in your opinion, would be the best looking?
Its not necessary that you own it, just share here which one you think has the most aesthetic value in your eyes.
Maybe you just want to frame it, maybe you want to give the very best to someone as a gift, or maybe you run after it in a romantic dream sequence...
...if it tickles your fancy, show it here.

THE MIGHTY BHAWANI/JAGADAMBA in the Buckingham palace......to put in simple words how much it means for a Maratha :I WILL DIE FOR IT
The greatest a blade could ever serve the human race.I dont much believe in god but the closest of my depiction of god is the Man who wielded this blade.

It is indeed a matter of shame for Indians that so many articles testifying to their history lie in Britain and in the hands of private collectors.

As an example of overcoming adversity, Karoly Takacs has few peers. He was part of Hungary’s world champion pistol-shooting team in 1938, when an army grenade exploded, crippling his right hand. Ten years later, having taught himself to shoot with his left, he won two gold medals in the rapid-fire class.

Re: the Best Looking Knife in your eyes?
To me the first on the list would be the Fairbairn Sykes Commando Dagger.
Then the first that come to mind are the WH Case Hammerhead, Buck 110 and KA BAR. I also like the shape and aesthetics of many Bokers.

Re: the Best Looking Knife in your eyes?
Agree with khukuri and F-S.
Would like to add Bowie to the list.
Dunno whether it qualifies as a knife, but the Native American tomahawk (in stone as well as metal).
Cavalry sabre. The kind those crazy Light Brigade guys used at Balaclava.
The Maratha / Rajput "firangi" blade with basket hilt. I somehow love straight blades!
More prosaically, the humble Victorinox / Wenger SAK. (didn't want to name a brand, but couldn't resist!) My default EDC.
