Ok, so I called the T.O.A.D. knife one of the uglier knives I have ever seen. I don't take it back. Even now that I *OWN* one, courtesy of Dave Harvey of Nordic knives from the ECCKS Show. 
I was curious about this crazy knife after reading John Gonzales' previous post. John wrote up a fine article on it, and it caught my interest. I like curiosity's, and this is an oddity fershure. The construction is top-rate as is the incredible smoothness of the opening and closing. If you like mechanical contraptions (and I do, because I'm a mechanic by profession), this won't disappoint you. There is so much going on in the mechanism, that I can't even begin to describe it. You just have to handle one sometime.
I described the *beauty* of this knife at a ECCKS dinner table to a buddy and then presented it to him. After he looked at it open, closed, and turning it all around, he drawled: "Nope.... it just doesn't get any better..."
This one has a little polish on the blade and hardware. It's kinda like putting nice hubcaps on a Jeep. All my joking aside, I actually like this a lot because of it's current uniqueness. It's growing on me.
