What knife features do you HATE that others LOVE?

[Chrome Horn]

I hate wear and signs of use, the heck with character and memories. A perfect knife would look new forever.

Oops... I meant

Serrations - trouble to sharpen, haven't find a need for it.
chisel grinds - don't like the looks of a half grinded blade.
beadblasting - scratch easy, prone to rust

I'm still new and pretty open minded.
I even think that pink PT looks good (as a edc knife for females)

 

[Hitthespot]

It's nice to see I'm not the only one who hates assisted opening knives.

 

[drake225]

Assisted opening
Serrated blades
extremely grippy handles
lanyard holes
waved blades
sand/beadblasted finish
glassbreaker/skull crushed

Tanto blades...never cared for them.

I've got to agree on that one. I do like reverse tanto though.

 

[EastSideRich]

geez, I don't know if I should be offended, or feel like a loser for all the things I like that other people hate.

Well, things I hate are:

Hawk's bill blades
Slipjoint knives
Cheap commie steel
The word "tactical"
Stuff that looks like it belongs in Dungeons and Dragons
Those little disk things screwed onto the spine of the knife for opening
Most partial serrated blades; I must say though, CRKT "Veff serration" are kinda cool - they're like freakin' sharks teeth, and are great for things like rope, etc.
Maybe those Spydie-hole type blades; I had a very cheap one that came free with something I bought once and hated it, but have a Spyderco Tenacious on its way, so we'll have to wait and see how that works out.

Oh yeah, and safeties on assisted openers; if I wanted something that was a pain in the a$$ to open, I wouldn't have gotten an assisted-open knife.

So if you like these things, YOU SUCK!!
(just kidding)

 

[Stelth]

I hate "yeller" handles.

 

[Slider817]

Tanto blades...never cared for them.

2nd that and Serrations

 

[Slider817]

What I really don't like are pocket clips. I usually take them off because I carry most of my knives inside my pocket. And often they leave gaping ugly holes. Or
Or marred up scales

 

[quackSH]

Dislike:
-Chisel Grinds
-satin (or any unfinished) blades
-metal handled knives
-partial serrated blades
-liner locks

 

[lmeister]

All of the Above!
especially:
cheap knives
blade coatings,
tantos
waves
fat knives
scandi grinds
impractical knives
safe queens
anything Chinese
shall I go on? Just getting warmed up...

 

[res1cue]

Plenty of those already suggested, tantos, chisel grinds, aus 8 (can't stand that steel), coated blades, but what really really pisses me off are folding blades that has a disproportionately large handle.
