Re: Putting utility aside, what's the best looking Spyderco ever made ?
I really wanted to love the Sage 4, but that row of screws down the center of the handle just ruins the looks to me. The Chief is an eye-grabber in a much better way, but the C54BMP Calypso is tough to beat. It's shocking how light it is compared to the Sprint version.

Re: Putting utility aside, what's the best looking Spyderco ever made ?
I can’t say I’ve seen all the different models Spyderco has made over the years, but of the ones I have seen her are the top 6
1: Lum Tanto fixed blade:
I can easily say that I think the Lum Tanto fixed blade in any iteration is the most beautiful Spyderco knife in my opinion. It has such a well done Tanto blade shap it’s proportions are perfect and it’s quite elegant.
I still regret not getting one a few years ago when I saw it for $255. That would be a steal now
(Pic from the Spyderco website for reference.) 2: Euro Edge
For me the Euro Edge trails just behind. I really like it’s symmetry, the variance in finish on the fullers and the flats of the blade is quite interesting. it also has extremely beautifully polished G10 handles. Most people I show the Euro Edge to think it has carbon fiber handles.
(Edit wow almost forgot about the Lum Tanto folder)
3:Lum Tanto folder
4:The Kris
5:Sustain
6: Szabo Folder This one is more bada$$ than beautiful though.

I figure I'll narrow it down to spydercos I currently own as there's just so many models overall. The shaman zwear is the nicest spyderco I own. Friends, whether knife people or not, comment on it more than all my other spydercos combined. The smooth dark g10 combined with the overall shape of the knife is an exceptionally purdy combination. A sleek classy brute

The Hungarian - a very cool knife with amazing fit and finish.

Re: Putting utility aside, what's the best looking Spyderco ever made ?
I can’t decide between the Caly(any), Chaparral, Kopa, Brouwer, or Dragonfly 2. This is extremely hard to choose one single Spyderco. The Paysan and Nirvana certainly come to mind as well, but are too big/expensive for me.
Unless it has been done, it would be fun to see which model people see as the least good looking model.

I always thought the Mamba looked pretty slick.
If we were to add utility to the looks, I'd go with a Lum Chinese Folder.

Re: Putting utility aside, what's the best looking Spyderco ever made ?
There's clearly no shortage of good-looking Spydercos!
Of stock Spydercos, I've always been partial to a couple, aesthetically speaking.
I like the simple, yet exotic and elegant lines of the Shabaria...
And I like the clean but swoopy lines of the Scorpius...
