The worst knife you have?

I haven't owned a whole lot of knives, but one that was particularly bad was my SOG flash ii. Ridiculously soft steel that took an awesome edge in seconds, but lost it ridiculously fast too. The handle was entirely plastic, and had no steel liners or anything of the sort. Very poor build quality. Compared to the Leek it replaced, that was lost to the TSA and was actually cheaper than it, it was pure junk. I ended up returning it and just spending the extra money for a Benchmade Emissary. That's a good knife.

I bought one of those SOG Flash knives at the PX when I was going through training. That ranks as one of my worst too. I hated the handle, the 'wiggly' blade play and it lost an edge awfully quick. It soured me to the SOG knives. I bought a Kershaw afterward (forgot the model) and I didn't care for it either. I eventually got a Spyderco and all was good.

Funny thing, while at SOI, I borrowed this tiny keychain SAK from my step dad (he dropped me off), and that was pretty much all I needed the whole time...
 
Gerber Cohort. Was $10.99 at Home Depot and I had a $10 off coupon they honored that was online so I bought 6 of them to give as Christmas gifts, one I kept for myself. So in the end each cost like $1.07 after tax. Horrible knife. Gerber actually recalled them because of the weak liner lock.
 
This was the worst for the bad memory I have of it:
