What knife do you hate the most?

No specifics, but I find Tanto-shaped blades useless, unless it's for stabbing someone or just plain looks.
 
CS Triple Action. Screws fell out within a month.
 
Ditto on the chisel grind.

But the knife I HATE most? It was a Böker Magnum. Loose hinge and a 440A blade that couldn't be sharpened no matter how much I worked on it. A lot of people don't like 440A, but the Cold Steel knives I have with 440A are viciously sharp. I have a CRKT M16-14SFA that has AUS8 and a chisel grind. I'm right handed and the damn grind is on the left side.

I can't cut wood with it because the angle's all wrong.

I am not a big fan of Tanto blades, I do like the Spanto though!! I also do not like some of the steel that's so hard to sharpen I got to send it back to the manufacturer to really get a nice edge back. I hate my Japanese water stones...they are evil and not strong enough to cut the super steels!
 
I don't buy auto or serrated knives.

I own a bunch of serrated steak knives that I bought because they were useful to me, then I learned to get a plain edge blade properly sharp and now I never use my serrated steak knives. So yeah, any knife with serrations is one that I hate.
 
Yeah! Let's drill some holes in the blade!

Whole new knife!

Not to say i hate the old Buck Nighthawk, i think it's one of the best blades in it's class.
 
^ I've had a Nighthawk for over a decade, and I love it. But that Tops collab with the holes sure does seem dumb.

The hole is supposed to be an oxygen tank wrench. Yeah. Still doesn't make much sense on that type of knife. I have an older one sans holes and it is a fixture in my truck.
