What is the most expensive knife you bought that you didn't like?

Been pretty lucky, I reckon. The only knives I didn't eventually come to appreciate are actually multi-tools: the Gerber Crucial and the Leatherman Skeletool. The Crucial was too bulky for such a small tool selection (and the drivers were way too short to be useful) and I didn't like the carabiner/cap-lifter on the Skeletool. Each cost me less than $75ish, but the folks I gifted them to seemed to like 'em just fine.
 
I have difficult choice: do not remember now if it was Spyderco Military carbon fiber handle with s90v blade or Emerson Super Commander. One out of these two.
Forgot another contender: Microtech Socom Elite - liked the blade but hated the handle!

After waiting 3 or so years for the first run of the Busse Fusion Battle Mistress with magnum handles and the "new" corrugated finish, which was around $400.

Aside from INFI it just felt like a boat anchor. Indestructable sure, but it was dead in the hand.

Overhyped and sold within the week.
 
Microtech Ultratech. Came dull out of the box, the edge was a joke. Stiff as hell, couldn't retract it without dislocating my thumb.

Good riddance.
