What’s your least useful knife?

I have a bunch of cheapies that I have picked up along the way that I have no interest in using and no one else would be interested in buying.

Also my MOPs; not cheap but I'm too worried about damaging the handles to carry them.

We knife knuts are definitely strange folk...
 
My Buck Rambo knife - just too big for anything.

Several daggers, and my SOG tactical tomahawk.

Shame on the person who noisily breaks into my house though...
 
Least useful is probably the Spyderco Matriarch that I bought just for the heck of it.

Well, it's useful for certain intended purposes but I try not to engage in such activities.
 
Least useful is probably one of my most favorites:

A genuine Case USM3 Trench knife that I'm safekeeping for my father.
(My father was using it to chop up boxes and general garage chores until I gave him a replacement knife - an Ek Warrior. Who knew that the Eks would be limited production, too?) My father got that M3 knife during his childhood from an uncle after the uncle came back home from overseas post-WWII.
 
My CRKT M16-10Z.

Tanto tip, chisel grind, combo edge.

Basically everything I hate bundled up into one nice package. I was such a noob back then :(
 
In terms of being carried (or not), I'd have said any of my 3 Hideaway Knives. However, given the next year I'll be spending in Iceland where you can literally carry anything, my Strider Hybrid will actually get some proper EDC time. Neat.

'Least useful' is a funny term, really. I carry my Spyderco UK Pen Knife almost all the time because it's legal, but since I drove it into my middle finger a couple of weeks ago when the slipjoint failed on me (partially my own stupidity, granted), I can't see myself using it much more. I'd rather risk carrying a locking blade now, frankly, because it's more inherently useful with less risk. Stupid laws.

The other part being that the knife was out to get you? ;):D

Charlie Mike, that is one scary SOB you've got there. I hope you'll never have to use that one.

I have been toying around with modding a Spydie, now I know what it'll look like.

Me neither:p

I named this one "Somethin' Nasty" and it hasn't lived up to the name yet, but a have a mini cringe every time I wave draw it. Don't wanna carelessly forward wave a double edge knife that close to the tadpole hatchery :eek::eek::eek:
 
I think if anyone owns a balisong, then its safe to say that that's their least useful knife. They are really only good for doing tricks with.
 
CRKT K.I.S.S. is my useless knife. This thing has a very thick short blade with a tanto tip and a chisel grind. I bought it out of curiosity. I would never try to carry and use this thing.
 
Yeah Now thats what I'm talkin' about:thumbup::thumbup:

My LARGE S&W Bowie knife is pretty useless, UNLESS some bozo breaks into my place while I'm home...Then it'll prove to be very usefull, as something to pin him to a wall with.:D.

I bought a Cold Steel GI Tanto a while back. Added it to an order because they are so cheap.

After holding it for a while and throwing it a few times, I cannot imagine anything else this ugly piece of crap would be useful for.


Edit: I forgot about the collector's knife my Grandmother gave to all of the grandsons about 10 years ago. White plastic supposed to be ivory handle in the shape of an eagle, with (if I can remember correctly...) blue sequins for eyes. Pretty sweet. I know it has to be around here somewhere....

Kind of an ignorant statement here. I carried a BM32 Morpho for quite some time and it was a great EDC. Light, sharp, pocket clip, tough, and Balis lock up to become almost as solid as a fixed blade. Balis definitely aren't just for doing tricks. You can do tricks with them, but they make one hell of an EDC.
 
I picked up a Tanto style knife at the Army/Navy store probably close to 20 years ago. Used it once or twice, it now sits on my workbench in the basement. Not a style of knife I ever found useful.
 
I've got two to nominate for "least appreciated" - one a german lockback Hebrt? with laminated wood color scales - a gift from a non-knife person - and number two would have to be the Benchmade "Specwar" by Emerson- it's heavy, chisel grind and semi-serriated... a distant third would be an old Al Mar Eagle - sweet but just plain too big!
Peace
