Any Knives that "Walk the Fine Line?"

Just had a good laugh with a new version of the good old "Tacticlol" thread.

SOME of the designs were not really tacticlol enough, so it got me wondering: do any of us obviously aficionado knuts have any knives that walk that line between tacticlol and functional? A knife that is very close to being tacticlol but actually is a great user knife? I think this could be a kind of a cool thread to kick around.

For example I use a cheap $15 Schrade folder... it is a brick of a knife that seems obviously "inspired" by the Sebenza. It's heavy, ugly (no reflection on a true Sebenza of course) and the blade stock is pretty thick. Yet, as beater knife that can actually get a good day's work in, it is actually serviceable. I don't carry it, again, a real brick, but it is a useful one to grab more often than you'd think. It's almost tacticlol, but useful enough that it isn't.

What about you?
 
DPx HEST 2 folder is close. But I surely do enjoy carrying one frequently.
 
The CRKT Graphite (I own) and the Kershaw E.T. (I regretfully sold because I was scared of it) are two that come to my mind
