Most no-nonse utilitarian blade you own.

I'd consider my mini Ritter as my most utilitarian folder. It's the one I use for the random jobs(that's utilitarianism right?). It's a knife that's made to be used, and because of its size it gets carried a lot.

A more modern low key no-nonsense utility knife. Terävä Puukko.

The furthest from being a sexy knife ..., that is, unless being a knife made for work only with no regard to looks is sexy.

Carbon steel and hard rubber.

Joking aside, I find it ugly but that thing works a charm.

The ugliest knives are the ones that are not low key no-nonsense utilitarian.

I get your point - plenty of stupid 'knives' for show only ... but on the other hand; take the Terävä Puukko. Its ugly as sin and at the same time supremely utilitarian.

No redeeming features apart from being a cheap knife which works as intended.

Its okay for a knife to be ugly as long as it works.

I shouldnt like it but I do ... a lot.
 
Most of my knives are utilitarian. Furthermore, even those few which take a bow towards beauty are still pretty darn utilitarian simply because any knife is a really useful tool.
This was my first thought. If I had to name one it would be my box cutter.

And because of it's utility, I find it beautiful. Anybody can throw a bunch of doodads and pointy bits and silly grinds all over a knife that add no functionality. The art is doing the opposite.
 
The Gator is a classic.

They for sure are ugly but good utility knives.

For some reason, I never got one.

Seems a lot of people I knew had them at one point.
