Ugliest Folders?

That fishing-theme SOG is just ridiculous. :barf:
I also have to agree on the ZT 0551 scales. They look ok with the Hinderer scales but the stock brick pattern is just plain ugly to me.
 
scaled.php
I don't see what's specifically ugly about this one.
 
i would post its older brother the sifu (google it) but i actually like the blade shape for being a fighting knife of sorts... the handle has so many finger grooves though that its not even funny lol.

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.

Well, that first spyderco is called the "Choke", isn't it?... :p

Nice selections by the way; they're all ugly!

Actually, it has so many finger grooves it IS funny! ;)
 
I just realized I never saw the chokwe as an ugly folder. The first time I saw I thought "That is totally rad, I need that knife" Even after I got it hand and looked at it more I never thought it was ugly. I Do think some spydercos like the previously mentioned Shabaria and Gunting are gross. (Has anyone mentioned the Gunting yet?) This thread needed a bump anyway.

Not my pics.
 
IMO, the Shabaria and Chokwe are the two ugliest Spyderco's. The Chokwe I may like more if I saw it in person but the Shabaria doesn't even look remotely comfortable.
 
I don't think the Chokwe is ugly at all. Nor is the Cricket with the plain edge. I'm not a huge fan of many of the Spyderco designs, but those are definitely not the ugliest.
 
Come on guys, almost 10 pages and no one brought up this beauty?

The Chokwe is gorgeous and you know it;)

I don't think it will ever look good to me but some knives seem more appealing when you have them in hand. It doesn't look comfortable at all but I hear it is. If I ever see one in person, I'll handle it and let you know if I like it any more. ;)

That Darrel Ralph is pretty ugly too.

Well, Darkops ANYTHING is almost a given. :D That one in particular is absolutely hideous...looks like it fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down.
