Ugliest Knife ever?

[ilbruche]

Ok, just post a picture of the ugliest knife you have ever seen or own. This one gets my vote.

Hahaha! That does look like a black pointy turd.

Anything with a tanto blade.

You don't find this attractive?

Just wondering if you were over-generalizing, or if you really dislike all Tanto knives.

Lately I've been thinking more about this Ugly Knife Syndrome, too. Besides the "fantasy knife" crap I see in some catalogs, I see some really butt-ugly knives that are seemingly sold for serious use, too. I can only assume the intended market for these is the mall ninja crowd that has been alive long enough now to make a little money that some knife makers intend to part them from as quickly as possible by offering them jagged, angular, awful, knives etc. that are as nontraditional as anything they could dream up. :jerkit:

Airkat

The tanto style is beautiful if done traditionally. Although the usefullness of the blade style is somewhat limited. Although smaller blades differ from the "appleseed" of japanese swords the tanto still offers great penetration and strength. Since the blade was designed as a weapon its utility is lacking. I do like that blade Bob W.

Getting back to the point, you can always count on United to offer some ugly knives.

I think it is stretching the definition to call this a knife

 

[Orthos]

Yes, but the airkat is one of those cool ugly knives.

This thing is so horrendous! And they want $230 for it! This blows away all those nasty tops blades with sawteeth. I guess they think that 18 year olds out of basic going to Iraq will want one.

appears to be some attempt at taking an entire tool box and morphing it into one "implement".

i think it goes beyond ugly, into a category all its own.

Description

The 911 designation isn’t for the emergency call, it’s to remind its user of the enemy we face, the war we fight, and the heroes who fight it! With the subdued 9/11 Tribute limited edition nomenclature on it’s blade, the operator carries with him a visible reminder of the Americans lost and the heroic efforts of those who take arms in defense of liberty. Blade design offers a combination spear/tanto point with the best attributes of both. CTV2™ steel, an intimidating blade length in excess of eight inches, hollow grind and v-chisel sharpened edge make the Interceptor 911 an incredibly effective fighting tool. The Interceptor 911 E&E offers further enhancements for real-time escape and evasion activities. It includes a patent pending Splitter Hilt™ which provides for cutting away harnesses and overhead cables. Backsaw is optimized for cutting through plexiglass aircraft canopies or helo windows. The choil-notch doubles as both a bottle opener and peacemaker-its’ deployment and use is a great bar fight deterrent in exotic third world locales. Extended serrations aid underwater cutting efforts. Hilt ports provide additional attachment points for paracord in survival situations. Window-breaker in pommel. Notch design allows prybar style mechanical advantage for entry through aluminum vehicle rooftops. Expander tip provides expanded entry-wound channel. Like all Dark Ops blades, the CTV2™ steel will last for decades! The most advanced fixed blade fighter in service today. 100% made in America! Black Titanium CarboNitride (TiCN) vacuum deposited finish.

I love this part!

There was a thread like this about a year ago. I thought the consensus was that the Frost Condor (IIRC) won this contest.

Yep that one is uuuuuggggly. Knives have been made for thousands of years and they had to use it to live so you think the most useful designs would have came out years ago.

Yup, that is pretty darn ugly.

Where can I find a Airkat tripwire?

a deterrent only because while everyone in the bar is one the floor laughing, you can make your covert escape.
