Chinese Kershaw, that is ugly and a pos too.

I'll applaud Spyderco all day long for bringing new and unique designs to market. Especially ones as avant-garde as this, but my word is it ugly!

Share your pics of ugly knives. If you own and love them please add your reasons why function overcomes unsightly form.

Ugly, like beauty, is in the of the beholder... I can applaud that they build a quality made knife with quality materials but contrary to many on this site I can still post pics of nearly 98% of all Spyderco knives and say that I feel they are just plain ugly knives, hence why I own exactly zero Spyderco knives. (Although i did buy a dragonfly tattoo for the wife-to-be for her business trips to Chicago).

In my own personal collection, this is the ugly duckling of the bunch, but it's one of those, "it's ugly in a way that makes me like it" sort of uglies.

“Spyderco Vrango is an extremely practical cutting tool with a distinctive aesthetic style.”

I don't know about that. Although it's not quite my style, I think the Frank Fischer Battle is a pretty gorgeous knife (not my pic. I boosted it from Google)

I actually always thought a pikal knife with a double recurved hooking tanto like this would be awesome.

Also while I agree some of the Spyderco ehtnic series are super fugly the Hungarian folder is a great modern take on a traditional Hungarian knife. The handle looks close enough to the traditional that it isn't a travesty.

Also I always thought the blade on the Spyderco Kris to be quite the impressive technical feat, even if it has a fugly handle.

You don't think the 0600 looks nice?

Many of their knives just aren't plain and simple in design as I like.
This is better looking than other knives of theirs I've seen though.

Some of Jason Brous' earlier knives are a bit clunky looking IMO:

Enough games, let take things up a notch.

Man, this thing is hideous.

Here's mine...

I'm a Medford fan, but when the Sherman is closed, it literally looks like sh*t

I visited my little bro's apartment and discovered this!

Blatant Brous Blades ripoff.

Remember, even if a knife is ugly, it's not right trip off its design for a quick buck.

I usually like the looks of the Pikal knives that I see; they tend to look purposeful, aggressive and clean. So how did Spyderco, of all people, manage to produce this:

Betas me! That P'Kal is pure ninja, "going wushaa in the basement" nonsense. Who owns those things?!?

I have a ton of respect for Spyderco but they do drop some plunkers pretty often.
