I'm waiting on a CF PE Delica. Should arrive next week. I have a feeling that will quickly become my most visually appealing Spydie. As for the A-10 - some things are so ugly yet purposeful and efficient that they actually become beautiful. Much like the P-47 a generation before. (Now if you want a good looking plane IMO then you could go to the Macchi C.205 Veltro - those Italians certainly have a flair!) Sorry if this went a bit astray.

Definitely my fs green Lum chinese. I don't trust the lock and therefore don't use it, but it sure is purty.

I've heard the word "fugly" was reserved for Spyderco knives.

Lots of votes for the Chinese and 25th Delica! I really like the look of the Chinese as well, either green or blue.

I've never seen the anniversary Delica though, does somebody have a picture they can post?

Another one came to mind: Szabofly; intimidating but very nice looking.

Think you forgot to TM that one Sal. ;) :D On the other hand, are you sure you didn't have a hand in designing the Warthog? :D

Maybe, but I think that Grant and Gavin Hawk are moving in on that territory. If haven't seen their "External Toggle" knife - you should!!

I am getting one, but only after being persuaded by a very nice description and photo shoot by Eric over on USN. You can see them there - just search under "external toggle".

My son thought the M-1 tank he used to drive in Desert Storm was beautiful!

Difficult question. I think for me it is either the SS SE Police, the PE Military or the Ti PE Delica. The Viele is classy too and the Persian folder is a beauty. And the Calypso jr, the Cricket, the Navigator, the... somebody stop me! Thanks. ;)

OTOH, is the Warthog the same with A10 Thunderbolt?

For me it's the ParaMilitary - it really has character and the simple lines of the blade are beautiful.

Thanks! The handle design is a little too complex for me but it's still pretty nice.

For me it would have to be the (blue) Lum Chinees. Style and performance! The only spydie of which I have two.
