What knives have you "TRIED" to like but just "COULDENT"??

TBH.. kershaws.

I have, on multiple occasions saved up enough money to get a high end one, and started looking around on, and just couldnt find one i liked enough.

Eventually i got a ZT 0200ST.. and it was alright, nothing wrong with the knife, just didn't like it I guess..

Eventually sold it
 
Super CQC-7. Loved all my Emerson's so far, it just didn't feel right. Might have spent 30 seconds in hand before I sold it.
 
People are gonna hate me for this, but the Sebenza. I just look at that thing and think, "400 bucks for this? That's it?" I handled one every time I went to Blade Show.
 
Hogue ex1. Wonderful quality. Just didn't fit my hand

Spyderco Gayle Bradley- just didn't like it.

Benchmade onslaught- horrible clip too big of a handle
 
Spyderco Shabaria and Paramilitary.

I have really wanted to like the Shabaria 'cause the blade really appeals to me. But the handle just does not work for me. I have handled samples of both the original production and the re-release and tried really hard to like it, but no go. I've even tried watching videos of it on You Tube, but all the posters do is noodle on about the specs and history.

Para just never felt right.
 
All Daltons. the fit and finish is just not where I want them to be. I've had 5 of them now...I'm not happy with any of them.
 
Kershaw Blur. Nice knife, but it doesn't carry very well in my opinion. I gave mine away to a fella who will (hopefully) use and appreciate it more.
 
I will never buy any Canal street Knives again! I sent a Half Moon Trapper in for warranty the blade was crinked it took 4 months and the new knife was worse than the first and I had to call 6 or 7 times. Its real sad when they say their going to pick you a real nice one.
 
Benchmade 530. I love the way it looks and feels in my pocket, but I feel like I will break the blade in half if I use it. Oh well.
 
I really wanted to like Kershaw's Speedform II but the thumbstuds on it just don't work for me. Once the knife is open I really like it, just wish the studs were different.
 
The Spyderco Lum folding tanto,i still have it,and still don't like it.That stupid unsharpened tip really irritates me.
 
Benchmade 5500BS auto...ridiculously small....had to change my hand grip position after the blade came out...

Benchmade mini-onslaught...dumb idea...too small after having played around with the full size for over a year...

Benchmade stryker- GARBAGE quality... mucho blade play, tighten the pivot...no more quick release...junk
 
Any knife I turned over and saw that it wasn't made in the US. Just a personal feeling I suppose...
 
Quite a few actually. From the knives I have in fact owned or still have even now:
The most spectacular - Military. People talk about it so much... I have bought two: one with s90v and another wiht D2 blade - that were about 3 or 4 years ago... Resold them just then. Not my kind of knife at all.
Spiderco Police - was sort of shocked how unpractical it felt.
Native - could not figure it out.
SERE 2000 - an absolute mistery for me, what just people are talking about...
Emerson Super Commander
BM Onslaugh
511 Tanto from Tarani.
That is probably it so far.
Not that many in fact compared to number of knives I like.
