The most offensive folder in my wife's judgment is the Spyderco Civilian. It's one knive that she does not want me to carry in her presence. She feels as if my extra large (5") clip point Cold Steel Voyager is intimidating enough. The Cold Steel Vaquero (6" curved, serrated blade) is pretty scary too.

If I assume that the question of what is the most offensive knife that you have seen to be a knife that is truly intimidating, then, I would place my vote as follows:
1. CS Gurkha Kukri
2. Busse Battle Mistress
2. CS Desperado
3. CS VaqueroGrande
4. CS Scimitar
5. CS Safekeeper

Anso, that is an example of a design that should not be allowed to see light of day. Have you discussed with your client the potential for self-inflicted damage from a design like that? I mean it looks cool and scarey and all, but...
As for that Devil's Right Hand, that is just so cool.
But same problem as with Anso's design. Great conversation piece, but just as likely to put your eye out.
Now Jim's example I like.
That will cleave open a skull, and even a slicing stroke will open a huge wound. But the blade relies a lot on that spike, doesn't it? Who built it and are there anymore available?
I think I saw a blade like that in a movie once.
BTW, anyone have an on-line picture for Ryan's Biohazard?

It was actually myself that came up with this variation of my Rock Climbers Rescuetool shown below. I dont think its more dangerous than alot of other blades. Even though its abit more "evil" than the Rock Climbers tool I have never had a problem handeling it. (had the one in the picture for about 3 years or so and no cuts whatso ever)

Jens, that knife you're showing looks a lot nicer. Not as many points waiting to take an eye out.
Seeing that it's a rescue tool, I suppose only the inner edge of the curved blade is sharpened? And is it sharpened all the way to the body? That would seem like a dangerous thing to do, since that curve looks too inviting a place to put a finger, though I suppose that the actual grip would be like that of the Emerson La Griffe? And how is it deployed as a Rockclimbing rescue tool?

The indexfinger goes into the hole in both cases. Actually its only the sharpened point thats dangerous...the others will be softened and act as finger grooves.
When the knife is sheathed the hole is exposed so its kind of natural to put the finger in it. Its sharpened on both edges to be able to cut rope that very thight to a rockwall etc.
I am going to start with a model in ATS-34. But a damascus version will be made too (if the customers likes the first one!) But its pretty hard to get 4" wide damascus bars...
The rescue tool is sharpened allmost all the way...Its made from 10mm steel...(thats .4")
So the grind tapers. I handfiled it out and I am not trying anything like that so I altered the design to fit my beltgrinder too.
