Knife customization gone wrong

[vanadium]

I found these pictures online and just had to share.

The seller is asking about $100 over list for these 'engraved' knives.

Truly, er, unique work.

[2 pictures deleted]

Anybody got more pictures to share in this, er, genre?

Ohh, dear.

In the words of the Clint; "Who ever did that, ought to have his aXX removed."

Fortunately reversible but still one of the more idiotic things to stick on a folder along with zip ties, nuts and bolts.

Thumb screw?! Is that meant to be decorative, or part of some field takedown strategy?

I have absolutely no clue as to why anybody would put that on there.

Its a pic from an eflay auction.

Your guess is as good as mine.

People on the Spyderco forum have been speculating but I dont think anybody came up with a definitive answer.
The auction/seller didnt divulge any clues as to purpose.

Those are highly prized knives from the "I'm not just an artist, I'm an a###0#e" series

 

[danbot]

Wow! The "artist" actually signed their name to that! It may indeed be considered art by some, but it sure doesn't add value!

 

[BladeScout]

Pooh in a can is also purported to be 'art.'

Being from Texas I can confirm the general sentiment expressed on the clip side of the Delica...

 

[Mo2]

Why oh why. Anyway I seen a really bad modder also use alot of clip art on knives. That and his mirror edges are not real mirrors what so ever.

Oh man I cringe every time this guy mods a knife over 600 doll hairs.

I wonder if he'd be able to fit "Pennsylvania" on the the blade...

 

[Gunthusiast]

Some people just shouldn't own dremels.

 

[ucfgrad93]

Man, that is ugly. That said, I'm sure someone will buy it.

 

[jbmonkey]

too each their own. id pass on both.......

 

[TechandTactical]

I've recently been considering engravings but that's not what I had in mind.

 

[John_0917]

This "work" makes what Emma Sulkowicz did look legitimate...

 

[lieferung]

I always thought those overmodded Tenaciouses (Tenaci?) were rather garish.

 

[shinyedges]

Obviously I'm the minority, I don't think it's horrible.

 

[KingMC]

Starting a thread to mock a custom engraver's work seems quite boorish; if something you see offends your aesthetic tastes just ignore it and move on, posting it here to get mocked at the expense of the creator is not in the spirit of this forum, in my opinion.
