The poo, poo thread.

I also can't stand knives made in Pakistan ( production knives , not the few custom makers who make real knives )
I have a few, and they make Chinese flea market knives look like a million bux.

Stockmans with crinked blades

Sheep's foot blades without perfectly straight edges.

Large spey blades

Full sized traditionals with 2 large blades ( don't mind it on my 2" tiny trapper )

Kirinite

Any buck 110 that doesn't even look like a buck 110 anymore, because if it doesn't have the standard blade shape it needs a different model number.

Any knife with a flipper or thumb stud because they should just pick one

The Emerson wave, because it just seems silly and mall ninja-y to me.

Thick bladed overbuilt folders that people actually think are practical for edc cutting tasks

American tanto's

Stilleto's and weehawk blades, because they have no utility to them and are only good for piercing.

A mall-ninja's wet dream.

The sad part is that you know some half-wit paid a lot of money for this thing.

To be exact, they paid $1,250.00: http://www.monkeyedge.com/Marisa-Strider-Custom-Tanto-Fixed-Blade-Damascus-p/msk0004-mv180.htm. For less than that you could get a custom by Warren Osborne, Scott Sawby, Frank Centofante, and many others (that's just from taking a quick look at Nordic Knives and AZCK). Absolutely outrageous.

Check out the Cricket. Same curves but shortened a bit.

Small knives can get away with crazy curves.
Forgot about the Introvert. Dead on arrival.

Although there's no getting over the Introvert's ridiculous looks, I was actually a bit surprised at how nice it felt in the hand, and especially how good the flipping action was. Not enough to push me over the hill and actually purchase one, but still, pleasantly surprising.

Just switched my carry knife for today because of this thread. One of my beloved Southards had to go to the drawer so I could put this beauty in my pocket:

If Mr. Hankey were a knife........

We DO have something in common!

Actually I hate most of the other things on your list too...

For less than that I can buy a local politician. People have their priorities all jacked up.

I don't know what they make that stuff out of, but it just reminds me of that nasty ribbon candy my grandma used to buy ( especially if it all got melted together )
I'm sure it's a durable material, but does it have to look like a kid ate his whole score o Halloween night :barf:

I really don't know how this one managed to escape an honorable mention for so long. I present to you the Spyderco Jot Singh Khalsa:

It's actually a half-decent blade. It just needs to have that hump on the back ground off.

To my shame I not only have this poo-themed knife, but I like it. If the poo-themed clip wasn't mounted for tip-down carry only I think I'd even carry it regularly. The blade shape is awesome, particularly if you have to do some impromptu food prep.

Pericles said:
CRKT seems to have a knack for turning a decent knife design into an unappealing mess of features (with speedholes).

This! The blade looks perfect, but it's a pain to actuate the flipper with a plastic bag over your hand.

AF said:
Spyderco Myrtle. If that blade shape didn't suck we'd have seen it already. Well at least they paired it with an equally atrocious clip. I predict it will be on closeout in the blink of an eye and even then it won't be cheap enough to buy. Rant over.

Ya, that just looks like a mistake.

Don't forget the fixed blade version. [emoji90]

Don't make fun of Duane, he excels in math and he's trying hard in metal shop. This is a first attempt.

They should realize that you need the light where you're looking ( ie just wear a head lamp ) and not where the knife is down inside the deer where the lights would just get covered in blood and no longer visible.

I did like what Jimmy diresta did with the blade of one of those

I love ZT, and I think Sinkevich is a great designer, but when I saw this knife my reaction was pure "lolwut?"

Kind of looks like an angry Byrd lol

=PuddleMonkey;16758246]Is that real? There's no way someone thought that'd make a good knife.

I kind of want to hold it in my hand ..and maybe buy one, you know you want one too

Speaking of 80's mall ninja knives...... Has anyone seen my hollow handled survival knife with non functioning spine saw blade? The handle had some fishing line and hooks etc in it, and I want to stuff it down the front of my pants in a tube sock and go for a hiking fishing adventure!

First knife I ever owned 8yrs old srs
