Most disappointing knife purchase?

Not disappointed in the knife in any way, shape or form, but I bought a Grimsmo Norseman, one of the first 75 ever produced, but I just couldn't bring myself to keep it. I loved the knife, lusted after it for a long time before I actually got it from John, but as soon as I opened the box I knew I'd never use it, and I just couldn't justify keeping it. In retrospect I should have given what they're trading for now, but it was just too much of a work of art in my opinion to be used. I prefer aesthetically pleasing knives still, but I need them to have a degree of functionality that the Norseman for me was lacking.

The HK Axis is probably my most disappointed knife, it is a good looking knife and feels good in hand, I loved it until about a day later when I was cutting stuff I realized there was a slight jump, then I realize the knife has a significant amount of vertical blade play. I tried sanding the contact area it seems to improve a lot, but the vertical blade play is still there. And the spring tension on the omega spring is the weakest on all of my benchmade knives. And the last bad thing is a few of the screws came stripped. Really wanted to like the knife though, hope the blade play goes away with more use.

Southard wow this knife is the biggest over rated knife I have ever owned . Blade style the handle and the price .
The benchmade 300 comes very close chunky the worst flipper I have own with no detent . My deassited kershaw camber is a better flipper .
 
CRKT Heiho. lot of blade plays, and lots of excess oil on the pivot area. selling it just after i received it
 
Gerber Paraframe - without a doubt the nastiest POS knife, that Ive ever encountered.

Compared to the Gerber knives of yore, the Paraframe is an affront.
