Biggest Pile Of Scrap You Ever Bought.

My Mother-in-Law has bought me 3 knives the last 3 Christmases and all 3 are absolute junk. One was a fixed blade with a blade made out of recycled beer cans and plastic handle with a plastic deer glued to it. You could bend the blade with 2 fingers and it was made in Pakistan. #2 is some sort of "camp knife/tool" that was in pieces in the box! It was from Fingerhut. #3 is a Frost "Hawkbill" - a God-awful humongous folder with a camo handle and a blade made of Reynold's wrap. I should just tell her to get me underwear...

Knowing what kind of knives she buys, she'll get you thongs!:D
 
Smith & Wesson zytel lockback about 12 yrs. ago. The blade would wobble in every direction and very poor heat treat on a crapy steel!
 
I received an epoxy coated multi....(I'm not even going to malign multitools with the comparison).It had an epoxy coating that was generously spread over every tool.This despite the fact it's stainless.Nothing opens right and some not at all.I can't even open the ends to loosen them because they're pinned.
I used it as an anchor while in a rubber raft and I forgot to tie the other end of the rope off......so sad.
 
When I first started collecting knives they were the Mora/Opinel brands, very good knives for the money.
Then moving on, decided to go with sod busters, my first purchase was on ebay. Wood handle busters, made in Pakistan :eek: boy was that a dumb move.
Blade point stuck up when closed, the blade would bend when putting pressure on it, and sharpening was impossible!
Moved on to better things since. :D
 
I have one of the black handled metal style Rambo knives with sheath, compass in handle and the surviavl kit still in its orginal packaging in the handle, matches and all. Now the blade itself needs to be cleaned but I see some of you are wishing you still had one. First person to shoot me their address will have this jewel mailed to them at no charge. Will not ship outside of Conus, would'nt want to see anyone crying anymore for their childhood friend while I have one that is going to find itself in the trash soon. Found this thing while cleaning out my cousins houses after he past away a couple of months ago. Eveyone in the family knows I'm a knife nut and so it found its way to my house. Let me know, glad to send it on down the line.
 
A knock-off of a Buck Strider 889. The liner lock might as well not even be on it - it was very easy for it to fail.
 
I would say Frost but I knew they were cheap when i bought them. I would say gerber EZ out. I would have rather ha a frost.

I remember when I was about 13 I bought a box full of knives from a friend for about 10 bucks. Some real pieces of junk to be sure. Still...

The worst knife I ever had was actually a Gerber mulitool. ALL of the "screwdrivers" broke, the "wire-cutters" would dent with small wires and the knife wouldn't hold anything of an edge.

I've had the same experience with most Gerber multis. The wire cutters will handle appliance wire or something like that fine, but feed it that thin green wire you use to bind flowers, and it dies instantly. I've two that Gerber has agreed to replace, as it's a design flaw. Unfortunately, Leatherman has the same flaw.
 
A beautiful Stag Bulldog Wharnie Whittler. This baby looked sweet but the carbon blades would get dull sitting in the box lol. For the life of me could not get her sharp! Bad or no heat treat on this beaut. Gave her away to frustrate my son lol.
 
Knockoff SAKs, before I knew better.
But as I've mentioned before, they're good weights for heaving lines.
 
SOG Aegis digi camo, looked cool on Youtube but it was the biggest disappointment ever, to light for me and a lot of bladeplay, also the lock really sucked.
Flipped that knife the same day and will never buy a SOG again even when the other knife's are oke.

When i got my Zero Tolerance 0301 there was light beam from the sky and a loud thunder, yeah that was a knife that was as good as I expected it to be.
 
I had a person give me a Jaguar folder once for helping him get in some fire wood. He thought it was quite a knife. I thanked him for it but, it found its way to the bottom of my "knife acquired" list. That thing wouldn't peel a brick of warm butter. I use it to dig up busted sprinklers in the yard....now that I think about it, I use the hell out of that thing....just not for cutting anything though!
