Ugliest Traditionals

[BigBiscuit]

I have been looking for an 81 stockman for awhile. Finally ran across this poor ugly child. So ugly it's pretty. But it may end up making a trip to glennbad anyway lol.

Isn't that one called Mardi Gras?

Not so much ugly as, errrr, festive.

 

[SVTFreak]

Me too and I like it

It's growing on me actually lol.

This Old Timer is not naturally an ugly knife , but somebody made it one. I just rescued it to try to clean it up and it still looks bad.

I think that's a lovely Old Timer, Harry! It's showing its age, but I wouldn't call it ugly.

I think you are being too kind r8shell , but thank you very much . It is my only Old Timer in 100+ knives and I like it a lot.

Funny Jake, because that's exactly what I told Joey that 81 looked like on the phone the other day. A bowl of Christmas candy.

Must be our names lol.

 

[SVTFreak]

Jake ain't lying. That's exactly what he said lol. So, perfect for my favorite time of year for sure!

 

[Stropping Young Lad]

That shield is so awesome though. There are so many conflicting emotions...

 

[Jsega51]

I agree Colin, that shield should stay if the knife gets new scales.

 

[SVTFreak]

Oh the shield stays!

One man's Gem is another man's Blem, it's like asking which child is your favourite, well, I guess there are some of our children we may favour more so that might not be a great analogy

I'm with most that I don't know of an ugly knife, nothing springs to mind. The references made in this thread to dull, bad workmanship all are just defects and not speaking to the knife design/shape itself, and I agree, don't care for a dull knife or one with loose fitting components, but I would not categorize them as ugly, just messed up

And I was named after my Christmas candy giving grandfather.

I saw this one on an auction site. Was really tempted to place a bid [emoji6] [emoji12]

That's awesome. I mean, it's terrible, but what a conversation knife. Haha.

While it might be a bit...garish (neon:barf it's a great pattern and nicely made. It's also likely quite rare so changing the scales may not really be a very clever idea..

Tasteless rather than ugly. That ghastly 'Fish' Knife still has the crown!

 

[SVTFreak]

Yea, I agree. Garish fits better.

And many of you have talked me out of a cover swap. Including one trade offer just to try to save that lol. I think I'll leave it as is and continue to keep my eyes peeled for another 81 that isn't so, um, garish.

Besides, it's Christmas. And a Christmas knife was on my list haha

And once again, I like it.

 

[afishhunter]

Oo, I'll show mine! It was so cheesy and gimmicky I had to have it.

I need one of these to go with my Stroke of Luck large stockman

Want one of those Zombi Nick large sunfish, too.
