Scariest Knife?

A scary knife is any one being pointed at me.

The scariest knife if the kid is high, and want my wallet and I am not carrying one.

Some one in a gurkha uniform with this in his hand instead of on his belt!
 
Box cutters, many store clerks pack these and are constantly slicing boxes behind my back, and some of clerks are scary looking under employed dudes with a chip on their shoulder.
 
In my experience, the scariest knife is the being used against you.Several years ago, I was confronted by an armed overweight teenage punk with a Leatherman PST (or possibly supertool). Very utilitarian 2.75" plain clip point blade. When he thrust it at my throat (thank God he missed), I was scared shitless. The blade looked a lot longer and nastier than it really was. After the incident occurred, I knew for fact that only the knife blade was opened. However, based on the mental image I had from when the knife was being thrust at my throat, I could have sworn that the knife had other non-sensical pointy and serrated implements sticking out of it as well.
 
Is the Spyderco Civilian really THAT scary? I've always thought it had a wicked, "don't f^ck with me" kind of look but the number of votes has actually surprised me.
