Show your ugliest knife...

[CShepherd]

Can I play?

This was my pappaw's skinning knife as long as I can remember. He always claimed it was made from a file but the more I study it I believe it is an extremely well used Marble's. It has hammer marks on the spine from where mammaw would pound it through pork bones cutting up pork chops and such. Holds an edge very well. I was so tickled when she gave it to me. Just a bit of family history.

This is mine. It was even uglier when it was just a sheep shear. It's other half is still waiting for inspiration and a nice deer leg bone.

I further tweaked it to give it some belly.

That's one cool knife! How is the tang set up?

I just left the inside of that exo-tang real rough and did the same with the wood and used epoxy.

Mod 4's are not ugly !!!

Mine looked more like this, with crude wood scales instead:

Yikes! That one's got 'emergency room' written all over it...

[atcgriffin]

looks like a shank your showing off in the prison yard.

I'm right there with ya. I don't understand that patern either. The fact that modern makers put such an ugly blade shape on 'em makes it even worse. They don't even put a belly on them. Its like a quasi-tanto-spear point shape that is horrible. Ugly any way you look at 'em.

This one is my ugliest knife:

That is not ugly!!! I love that pattern.

Where does one find that pattern? I use to love em when I was a boy, just never was able to get one.

Is your nickname, perchance, "fingers"?

I would be hesitant about using that knife in any circumstances. certainly would choose just about any knife over it. it looks downright dangerous. but if you like it, well, good luck sir, you are a braver man than I.

An old blade from Tibet.

One finds one in their mail box.

Maybe you misread the title. Its UGLY knives.

That thar is a thing of beauty!

 

[dbltap45acp]

Heres mine, just ugly because of the finish being worn, but I think it gives it character.

 

[dbltap45acp]

And I think CShepard won so far hands down!

 

[dipbait]

My late brother in laws knife. My wife claims it came from WWI. It has some sort of epoxy like handle.

I bet his nickname is finger...singular!
