I am looking at the Mizuno MP-67, but have not yet tried them. (Wish they'd sport only the club number & one logo).
I would consider Titleist 695MB if they did not have that red print.
I pretty much agree with Hogan Apex, but again number+one logo would be enough.
I worship Tiger and really like the Nike forged design, but have issues with the Nike corp - so it won't be Nike.

If anyone else is like me (looking for a clean elegant design) please let me know of models to consider not listed above.

Miura makes the most beautiful blade currently available. Go to Miuragolf.com or check them out on e-bay. Miura is the forging house that forges most of the big boys clubs anyway. Mr. Miura is an artist. I have a set their blades, a Japanese model. They are stunning.

But if you really want some cool blades you should check out some old skool clubs. Maybe some old Hogan Precisions or Personals. Also, the MacGregor VIPs are awesome looking. There are two versions the 67's are the model that Jack did most of his damage with. They actually say VIP by Nicklaus on them. They are beautiful. After Jack bounced from Macgregor to do his on thing, the VIP line continued. The 1990 YIPs are strong too. The Miurfield MacGregors (I have a set) are some of the most beautiful satin knives I have ever laid eyes on. You can actually purchase a square groove model. The Greg Norman COBRA blades are awesome looking too. Just check ebay. You can get these older clubs in good shape alot cheaper than new clubs. IMO the design characteristics haven't change too much on blades. If you get the right shaft in them you'll love 'em.

Another good place to see some beautiful clubs is www.houseofforged.com. They actually refurbish and rechrome old irons. They have some beauties out there for sale.
