I know that most of you won't be hearing this for the first time, but the Gold class presidio is probably the most beautiful knife I've ever laid eyes on.

I was going to insert the pic here, but my iPod won't copy the URL. So go and look at it. And drool. That is all.

I agree. Though I will probably never get it because I would never be able to use it! My 525 Black class is my favorite

Incorrect.

Good answer, but there's something about the carbon fiber/Damascus combo that tickles my pickle...

I like that wood inlay, too though. I have to go +1 on not buying a knife you can't use, though, unless you have obscene amounts of disposable income (not this guy...).

The 710 is such a classic look. The brass reminds me of the buck 110 modles that my dad and every one of his 5 brothers carried as i grew up.

the 525-81 is a very nice looking knife. deffinatly one of the finest i have ever handled, now i just need to get one.

I would like to handle the 525-81. I'm sure the beauty could be appreciated even more when in the hand.

I heard you on that. I don't know if I could carry a knife that I don't use (you know what I mean. It can't just sit there).

My 523sbk is my favorite everything knife, and it get's used for sure.

The 525-81 is quite a good looking knife...but in terms of the gold class this one just keeps pulling me back in to clicking on it.

Just the right amount of gold and I just live the design of the 635-82 in general. Oh if I had the money to drop 600$ on a knife...

Unless you are a collector trying to beat this market... I say use that sucka'! What a treat to use one of the finest BM designs with some of the finest materials around. It'd be like me buying a V-10 Viper just to wipe it down with diapers on the weekends...

I say buy one and use it! Now, lots of people think that means abuse it... these are two different things in my opinion.
