Best looking production folder.

Benner · **on:** January 15, 2010, 10:26:48 PM

There has been a bit of talk recently (between me and Mike mostly for a change

) about what could be regarded as being the best looking production folder, so I thought I'd find out.

Post in here 2 nominees of what you would regard as being the prettiest production folders on the market (preferably with a pic) and at the end I'll gather them up and do the poll thing.

Remember this is for production folders only. No customs or modded knives are welcome here

Obviously this has to be the first

Need to narrow down the second choice

I find it almost scary that we actually agree on something

I still find Sebbies cold and lifeless so don't get too excited

Right my second nomination would have to be the Original (can't find a decent pic) Benchmade AFCK

Damn!

I thought I knew what else you would have posted.

It's nice in a sort of tart's handbag kinda way

No it is a fine looking knife, just too busy for my tastes

I wouldn't hate you if you bought me one Mike.

I've been out of the folder fold for a fair ole time $:-\$

But it definitely seems to me that knives made 10-15 years ago are a lot better looking than the contemporaries

Benner · **Reply #17 on:** January 15, 2010, 11:01:31 PM

Exactly what I'd expect an old git to say.

I do have to agree though as it happens.

I mean I know the games moved on, and lock's and steel's are much improved these day's

but there all a bit much of a muchness. There's no real character or soul in the newish one's $:-\$

Benchmade, Coldsteel and Spyderco made some ridiculously tasty knives back then

Hmmmm........best looking production folder. Tough one! So many are eye-catchers. I'd have to say the Case Gunboat Canoe is my favorite as far as eye-candy goes, in pretty much any handle material.........

It's got the right lines and curves.

My second nomination would probably have to go to the Railsplitter pattern..........

Be it a Robeson or Schatt & Morgan, it's a beautiful pattern none the less.

Fine choices

This is pretty, in a scary kind of way.

Gareth · **Reply #22 on:** January 16, 2010, 12:12:28 AM

I always thought the Fallkniven PXL was a lovely looking knife. Give me some time and I'll think of another.

Benner · **Reply #23 on:** January 16, 2010, 12:17:29 AM

The PXL is awesome

hawkchucker · **Reply #24 on:** January 16, 2010, 12:35:34 AM

That Robison is actually a work of art. I really have to be looking more into slippies.

As painful as it is, I kind of have to agree with this. I have always loved the Police model Spyderco.

And, while I'm sure some of you won't agree (since we've had this discussion before!) I have to say that this is one of the most eye catching blades I have seen in a while:

Remember, out of the literally hundreds of knives I saw at SHOT last year, this is the one I brought home with me!
