I enjoy putting good looking handles on unique blades.
A homemade Nessmuk, reground from a Russel skinner blade blank. I made a rawhide covered sheath.

Remembered I have a photo of my buck 119, it's still new I can't bring my self to use it yet. The aluminum with the black always looked good to me.

A 119 is hard to beat for sure. I agree with your observation on the black&silver (like ALL good Heavy Metal
) for contrast.My first, store bought, serious woods knife was a 119/black. I still recall the almost magical allure of that, then, strange handle material and that carries on to this day. Kind of like when carbon-fibre started filtering into motorcycles.
I thought the cocobolo version would be a fitting homage to my school-days memories and yet, it ironically leaves me a bit cold as far as nostalgia goes.

Actual pic of my knife.
It doesn't look as pretty anymore because of the 15 years of carrying in my pocket but I still think it's nice:

I like the skinny surgeon’s scalpely look of it.

Sold one not nearly so sweet last year and continually regret it. That form is truly pleasing.

My wife got me one of those white FRN Endura 4s about a dozen years ago. Still locks up tight and stays sharp. The old VG10 was a fine super steel of its day to be sure.
My current pretty knife is a large Chris Reeve Inkosi that is starting to get some honest pocket wear. Love this knife.

My wife bought a Sabenza for me many years ago. You're right in calling those lines out as beautiful.

I don't own this exact knife, but have one similar. It was just easier to find this link than take a poor quality photos of the ones I have. I rarely actually carry them but the Case Sowbelly knives have always appealed to me. Some have 3 blades, some only 1. But I just like the lines and looks. The curved handle fits my hand well.

I think I like the ones with a single blade the best. They are a bit thinner
https://www.smkw.com/case-sowbelly-marines-red-bone-wood-box-ca13188
But as much as I like them they are typically only carried on those dress up occasions. I'm much more likely to have some sort of 1 handed opening lockback made by Benchmade or Spyderco most of the time.

Since form always follows function: any Swiss Army Knife. Close second: Several of the W.R. Case and Sons knives (which actually are somewhat visually appealing).
