The "Help, I have a crappy knife" Contest.

[bearfacedkiller]

Wow, thanks to all who entered. Before this I thought I had a crappy knife. You have made the worst knife I have ever owned feel like a gem. I knew there were some flea market knives out there that were much worse than mine but some of these entries could best be described as knife like objects.

Good luck to everyone who threw in an entry, I really hope whoever wins could surely use it.

Cool thread, Hackenslash . Here's mine with a bit of history to boot. At the time I bought this, sometime in the early 2000's, I thought this was a pretty good blade. I picked it up for my Canadian nephew for Christmas and my wife asked what I'd paid. She said we don't like him 40 bucks worth and I kept it. It was one of my first modern folders and I EDC'd it every day.

It got a lot of hard use at work and started to wear down. On a camping trip with my wife and middle son I broke the tip off for the first time--bummer! I re-ground and re-sharpened and the knife started to get more and more abused. By the time I broke it off again, it had become my second carry work beater as I came to always have a good quality modern folder for a work user clipped in my right front.

Some fifteen or more years from the beginning, this old POS is no doubt my most carried and used knife. Always on me at work (accompanying anything from a Spydie or BMK, through a CRK or RHK, up to a Shiro worker user) and used for all those things one shouldn't do with a knife--scraping glue, pulling staples, cutting up against drywall or masonry. The quality work users rotate, but this little guy is with me almost every day in the bottom of my left front.

I bought a new one after I first broke my beater, but never really used it.

Liner lock's all the way over, but surprisingly no lock-rock yet. Centering's pretty much all to one side too, but not quite rubbing. Pretty poor blade-to-handle ratio at this point.

The blade's all scratched up and the finish was dremeled off. The edge is wicked broad from the tip being ground back twice. Lots of chips too, so I'll be sharpening it again soon.

This side looks even worse. The knife carries tip down only, to add to its intrinsic crappiness. The original clip screws fell out one-by-one and the knife now sports slotted replacements from the local hardware store.

Believe it or not my dad had one exactly like it, I think his looked worse than yours. I sent it back to buck his had terrible lock rock. 4 weeks later they sent it back saying, they didn't currently make that model, I called and asked about there forever warranty!
The lady stumbled around and said they did all they could to it, which they hadn't touched it. Then she said if I would send it back again they would trade me some kind of cheap knife. I looked it up and I was going to have more in shipping than the knife was worth.. So I guess the forever warranty is really not forever! It's in the landfill now lol. I'm not to keen on anything buck... I voted for you to have the worst knife.
