Ugliest Folders?

lol, i knew i would catch some flak for it and it would only be a matter of time for a "fanboy" to flame me ;).
i just dont dig the looks, the thumbstud & its "floating nature" in my opinion is hideous, never a fan of snot colored natural g10 & "bright" is not something i shop for when looking for a folder whatever the hell that means. you opinion on how wonderfully clean and sleek it is is subjective as is my opinion of how i think its a folding poo spatula that has traits of something designed for budk. ive also had my share of small folders and none of them have needed such a grotesque thumb stud + speed assist. i have no doubts it performs well never did, i just think its fugly and i would rather spend my monies on that tank butter knife you speak of :).

Not a fanboy. I just enjoy knives based on how they appeal to me. To each their own. I personally like bright, clean looking knives when I can find them. Everything's always militarized or has an industrial look. No doubt the thumbstud eye thing is more of an aesthetic choice, same as inlays, designs on the handle, false clip points etc. People just tend to come down on thumbstuds a little harder I guess.
 
I've never been a fan of this one.

Gross but a good price for a Ti framelock. I would probably get one if it were tip-up.

Carrillo super ugly, super expensive and one of his framelocks I held at Blade last year had such early lockup that the lockbar slipped off the tang and closed on me.

I think the Kershaw Tilt is horrible. SOG has a lot of ugly knives.

I hear you on that 0551. I really wish the grind was higher, then I'd probably buy one. I like the one you have with the choil though.
