Putting utility aside, what's the best looking Spyderco ever made ?

The red Persian has my vote. I wish the bring back the Persian !

+1

And the Hungarian too.

IMHO the Phoenix is a beautiful and comfortable knife. Not the best tip, a high ride clip, ti bolsters that scratch too easily, not the thinnest edge geometry.

But yea…soooo pretty. In a weird way :)

My two favorite spyderco folders for utility, and aesthetic preference

Oh and how could I forget

The Caly 3 and 3.5 are both particularly handsome when open.

I really like the DLT Tuff. Probably my favorite Spyderco next to my first, a Manix 2 LW.

Just looking at lines and not materials, I would say the Native 5 or Native Chief. Just flows so well, yet keeps attributes that make it Spyderco.

However, scales, these Kopas you post are something to behold.

In my mind, several variations of the Kopas are the most “beautiful” to me.

I changed my mind. Outside of the Kopa that Radioactive posted, the Gayle Bradley 2 is gorgeous. I always thought it had the best looking blade, but the lines flow so well the overall design is something to behold.

Ha Ha ... Spyderco and "best looking" don't go together.

Probably this one.

As I understand, the word "Fugly" (F'n... Ugly) was created to describe out designs.

Another first for Spyderco.

(F'n... Ugly)

does that stand for functionally ugly?

[JSumm]

Probably this one.

I don't know what is is about this model, but I love the look of it. The latest version especially. I don't see it as a user but just something to admire. I just want to hold it and open it a few times in the morning before I go to work. Just so it can say "You got this Jeff, you got this."

I don’t know when exactly the word originated but I do know it was not originally coined by someone describing a Spyderco. I definitely believe that it was a term used by someone to describe a Spyderco at some point but that is not its origin.

Yep, that’s it!

Okay, the dictionary says the first known use of "fugly" is 1980. About the time the prototype CO1 Worker was being developed. Coincidence? Just sayin'....

I think FFG is ugly and boring. I hope that someone commission's the Native Chief in OG hollow grind w/swedge.
