I understand what you're saying. Dozier knives are intentionally "no-frills" but when it comes to "using knives" they are at the top of the heap. To me there is an attractiveness to pure functionality. I do like a pretty knife, too. That is, as long as it's SHARP! Like, for instance, the Small Owyhee pictured above.
