The absolute worst knife I've ever bought was the Schrade Cliphanger..... Ugh - what a turd of a knife! The worst knife I have ever owned, hands down. Here's what I said about it in 2005:
It has a handle as ergonomic as a cactus, a blade that won't hold an edge, a retention system that doesn't work at all, a thumb opener that absolutely sucks, the roughest opening of any folder EVER, and a "liner lock" about as thick as rice paper! (with it "locked" open, you can move the blade toward the handle and watch the "liner lock" bow) The thing is an absolute piece of trash. I use mine as a grout scraper, and it barely functions at that job!
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE P.O.S.!!!!!!
***that was in 2005. I've actually owned the turd since 1995. 20 years of turd ownership has to count for something, right?! The reason it seemed like a good idea at the time is that it was cheap ($19.95 IIRC) and it had Schrade's name on it. I had owned many an Old Timer (slipjoints, cave bears, sharpfingers, etc) and all were quality. This thing however...

Good lord, what a badly designed carbuncle of a knife. Incidentally, when you type "Schrade Cliphanger" into google, the very FIRST result is a YouTube video titled "Terrible Knives". True story. Try it out.
Thanks for the chance, and for the bile rising into my throat!
