Not every day do you hear the words ‘knife’ and ‘beautiful’ appear together in the same sentence. Words in harmony with tactical knives are usually rugged, lethal, sharp, robust, deadly, etc. So, one wonders why whey he sees a feminine adjective like ‘beautiful’ sitting alongside a deadly weapon. Margaret Wolfe Hungerford once famously quoted “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder” and how rightly. You see beauty in anything you love and are passionate about. It could be in a piece of prose or poetry, artwork, a building, a game of football, or it could be a deadly combat weapon - an automatic knife or a bowie. For the genuine knife lover, the beauty of a knife is in craftsmanship. But for other enthusiasts, a knife’s beauty is in its appearance. There’s no wrong way to look at beauty. Here we’ll take a look at the most stunningly gorgeous knives that are almost too ‘beautiful’ to use.
