Knives that make you feel kinda dirty...

I'm probably keeping my Kershaw E.T. too, but the funky blade shape and carabineer thumbhole keeps me from using it :p

Bought a Shirogorov clone a few months ago - pretty amazing quality for a sub $30 buck knife. But yeah, I felt a little sleazy when I got it.

I have not purchased any that make me feel dirty, probably because I am a cheapskate. Kudos to you who are big enough to admit you feel bad, it takes guts.
 
I feel not very well about my Colt 605, which is heavily "inspired" by XM 18, I got it as a gift, but still. I carry it mainly as a "disposable" knife when I know that I may lose my knife or destroy it by misuse and it servers it's purpose surprisingly well.
 
It's my Liong Mah GSD. When I bought it I had no issue with Reate but recently I've come to believe that even the high-end Chinese makers are too close to, too unapologetic for their dirty pasts -- or even with one foot still in that world -- for me to support them.
 
A no-name otf auto I got a gun show. The glass breaker/ clip screw broke when I tried to hand tighten it in the car on the way home. It was cheap and I feel dirty but I still pull it out and flick it a few times a week.
 
Every time a street tweaker rolls into the industrial workshop area and tries to trade a knife for $5 or whatever, I feel dirty after touching the knife to examine it. In a "don't rub your eyes or you'll get hep C" sort of way.

I can see it now, "Hey guys, check out my new knife I got for 5 bucks. I gotta go wash my hands."

Years ago, my old job called for me to come in contact with people that you would not always want to touch. I carried two ballpoint pens. One for me and one for them to keep so I would not have to touch it after they used it.
