There is no such a thing as a bad knife

[zorandjurkic]

You realize that this means you're claiming to have visually expected every knife in existence, right?

There are bad knives. Knives which misrepresent their material and build quality and are often so poorly made as to create a hazard for the user. Many Pakistani made knifes are in that category, as are other cheap imports where the blade breaks away from the handle or fragments under pressure. The classic Home Shopping Network sword accident is an example of this. But, even when there is no direct injury, the knife can fail leaving the user in a lurch without the tool they had relied on.

A locking knife that doesn’t lock is a “bad” knife because it’s dangerous.

This one qualified as a "bad knife"

Here is my advice...

I have a few that are bad. Either so poorly constructed that they fall apart, or bad heat treat that makes it near impossible to create an edge that's not butter.

I promise to do tests that prove there is no such thing as a bad knife.

Maybe here's a new rule.

If you don't own a bad knife you don't own enough knives.

Guys, D Danke42 provided this wisdom for free, you should be thanking him.

Excellent point!

I disagree there certainly is such a thing as a bad knife.
Back in the early 2000's a friend of mine got jumped by a group of 5 armed with bats and all that he had for defense was a cheap Pakistani copy of a buck folder.
They set about trying to kill him with the bats so he pulls the knife and delivers a slash to to one of his attackers midsection and the blade folds over backwards and barely gives the guy a scratch.
A group of onlookers came to my friends assistance and chased the wannabe murderers off.
When the law arrived they were disappointed at the knifes performance and shared the opinion that it was a shame that the attacker did not get gutted as he had it coming in their opinion.
The very next day i bought my friend Ken a Buck 119 fixed blade as a present.

There are bad knives. We even got a picture of one.

The one on the left is the best knife in this picture. Pioneer did a fantastic job!

It's a little bit thick behind the edge but otherwise acceptable.

Some are just misunderstood.
