I nominate this little pearl handled beauty from Calvin Robinson:


Look at this lovely detail pic:
 
I think this fits best as a non-tactical.

Liner lock with Westinghouse Micarta scales, 6k stellite cored Damascus blade and David Riccardo carved steel bolsters that I color case hardened.

If there was a category for engraving/embellishments I would enter these bolsters that David did for that!
