embarrassing knife

I have these that were given to me by my family last Christmas.They're ugly as all hell & I cringe every time I see them.They're displayed in my living room & promptly hidden away whenever we have company.

Ah, good ol' 1095. Love the steel. At least your mom had good tastes in the knife she got you.

I was kind of a big fan of the Hunted movie. That’s where she got the idea I think. But I grew out of that a long time ago. Its going in the trunk of my car tomorrow, may be it will come in handy later on.

LOL !!! Cringe indeed !!!

Must remember to expressly FORBID my family giving knives as Xmas gifts. If anybody makes a singing bass knife, well that's exactly the one i'd receive.

My spider-sense is tingling. I sense... the worst knives ever! It would be funny if they were made with a good steel though.
 
Alas, I too tried to make a good all-purpose knife like the Tracker, but overwhelmed, I got lost in the design phase - embarrassed, I sent it back yesterday and asked that it be fixed. Short of that, that more be made, in both A2 & CPM154, in this thickness and thinner, in this blade length and shorter, and in the shorter/thinner blade length in both steel types with a sharpened swedge...with Kydex sheaths and carbon fiber handles too. I know, embarrassing for a first knife attempt - WTF was I thinking? Ashamed, so ashamed...

Um... what?
 
I've got the entire set of Franklin Mint Gas Pump knives, I was gonna make a clock outta them.
 
I can't believe the Spartan was mentioned a couple times...it's a good looking knife that will embarass "tough" folders 2-4x the price and the specs and images were available before ordering...

Dagon - compare it to your Pohl Force - the difference in AUS 8 and D2 ain't no $110-$150, not even 10% of that - both made in Taiwan.

For me paying too much is more embarassing if I can't show/prove performance increase rather than any thing to do with cosmetics - I'd rather buy a steak dinner for my wife and I than pay for the manufacturer/dealer to have a couple.

It's all good though, I've seen people actually mentioning cosmetics preference when shopping $2,000+ rifle scopes :eek:
 
My father found this work of "art" in the bottom of a box from an auction. It even comes with a designer sheath.

If you dont mind me asking what is wrong with the knife? I know that the QC on lockup was always a problem (especially the 889, either wouldnt lock or was at 100% brand new) but even still as a slipjoing the knife works
Scrawny linerlock, weird lock-up, off center blade, stippling on upper third of blade, G10 scales coarse enough to grate cheese with--that's enough for me.
The blade looks to be deliberately off-center as washers of a different thickness are used on either side; when opened the lock sort of wobbles into
position about 2/3 over to the right; not confidence inspiring. The stippling makes it impossible to cut through anything cleanly without fouling
the top of the blade, which, btw, is quite heavy.

I was going to post the LifeKnife Commando that I got in the mid-1980's, but it wouldn't match-up against that pair of Spydie knives.
