What knife do you hate the most?

Gerber paraframe I dunno how many people i've seen get tricked into buying them just because they recognize the name.
 
I also hate partially serrated small blades.

I hate slipjoints that need a prybar to open, when I'm stuck with puny full grown human man sized finger nails. I hate knives that injur my fingers in normal use.

I hate sheaths that don't hold the blade seurely, especially on a neck knife!

That HEST folder seems like a Fail from the start. If the initial Limited Edition blades can get shipped without any Quality Control, I wouldn't spend my money on a mass-production version.

I have a knife similar to this, bought it at a flea market when I was about 16.
Can't seem to toss it out though, don't know why.
 
Spyderco Paramilitary.

Let's make a knife with a full size handle but with a 3" blade, and do it in such a way that the extra space is just wasted space, and then we'll shape the bottom of the handle so that it digs into your hand no matter how you hold it, and then put a partial choil on the bottom with the jimping covered up by g10. Then, we'll make it tip-down carry only.

The only way they could have made it worse is by adding serrations.
 
Do not like and have sold: Kershaw Skyline, SOG Twitch, CRKT Drifter, KaBar Dozier. What can I say I don't like small light knives. When I first got into knives I bought the affordable Nutnfancy reviewed and praised knives. It's a good thing I didn't spend alot and have since developed my own person preferance and stopped listening the NutF but I still enjoy "some" of his vids.
 
I hate emerson knives, very overpriced IMO for what you get.

I hate all CRKTs, atleast all that i've handled.

I hate Chisel ground knives. Both Chisel ground blades and Chisel ground edges. See above.

I hate serrations. The only serrations I would consider decent are spydercos.

I think if you could pick a knife I hate the most it would probably be any emerson tanto.

Darn, you brought up a repressed cutlery memory. When I saw this thread I couldn't think of a specific knife because I had managed to forget that piece of crap. It couldnt get sharp at all even with diamond stones and the super dull edge it did have just kept getting duller and duller. I did find a use for it however, as a firesteel striker the blade works quite well with the handle removed and I can even squeeze it hard without cutting myself.

Oh and I will also add the Sanranmeu axis lock knives. They blatantly stole the mechanism from Benchmade. Unless they are paying royalties to BM which I doubt or the patent expired or something.
 
Really? Everyone hates the Paraframe that much? It's been a decent knife for me, for the price point.
 
I have 2 Gerber Paraframes. A large & a small. The large i have hair poping sharp. The small will only get so sharp & then thats it---PERIOD. IDK wth kind of metal it is made from, but it stinks. Gave it to my daughter. Replaced it with a Buck 1 7/8" blade-made in the USA. In no time, i had it poping hair & shaving paper. $12.00 at D***s sporting goods. Best buy out there, IMO, on a small. I have no use for serrations, except for cutting wet rope. Tanto blades are a specialized type of blade. Tactical come to mind. I love my CS Recon 1 tanto. From tip to handle is hair poping sharp & holds a good edge. I HATE buying a knife & then being disappointed with it. To date, the small Paraframe Gerber is the only one I gave away. Even my cheap ass Japanese Rambo knife has not broke yet & I have beat the snot out of it & chopped many a things, including trees down, with it. I love me some Beckers & Ontario's though.
 
I don't like combo edges, esp on folders. Full serrations, ok; but I don't go for that one inch stuff.
 
Any knife that does not have a subdued knife coating. Sorry guys, here in suburban California (especially at a university) the more concealment the better.
 
anything made with serrations, chisel grind, "tanto" unless it is a real one.

Most of all, ANYTHING THAT CALLS ITSELF "TACTICAL."

Knives were designed for real combat for thousands of years with people really living or dying by the blade and their skills. Now, the best knife to carry into combat is probably a swiss army knife. Use the extra weight saved to carry more ammo or some high tech device to give you intelligence about locations of you and your enemy. Or a way to call for backup.

What university? I had problems with a Buck/Strider 880 at CSU Fresno approx 11 years ago. Got arrested and spent approx $3k for a lawyer to tell team evil that my knife was legal.
 
The only knife that I honestly detest is the CRKT Ripple. The handle is uncomfortable and if that weren't enough, you get to jam your finger down onto sharp jimping when you use the 'flipper'. The biggest abomination of a design I have ever seen. :barf:

UC Irvine. Seems like a decent amount of people carry here though. Saw a girl with a Spyderco Military walking around even.

Even though the cops here are scarce I still try to avoid high profile knives and stick to blades with low profile clips and coated blades.
 
Was she hot? If I was single and saw a fit woman with a Millie, I'd get her number!
