Whatever happened to the "Lil Ugly"?

Danbo · Dec 27, 2001

Looking through an older knife mag last night, I saw an ad for a nice little utility knife called the "Lil Ugly". Are there any of these around and how could a person pick one up?

Jerry Busse · Dec 27, 2001

We only made about 450 of the Li'l Uglies. They disappeared with the Steel Heart One in 1994. We replaced it with the steroid enhanced Mean Street. I have never seen one come up for sale . . . . anywhere. . . Where did they go?

Yours in Nucli'l Uglies,

Jerry

Well, Dammit, somebody has them! I can see it now, one guy in Alabama has them all in his closet.

Was there a pic of it in that mag? If so can we see it?

I have an old issue of Fighting Knives that had this ad. Hope I am not stepping on anyones toes by putting it up. Remember this is an old ad with old info.

Look at the lines on that thing!! Very sweet....

Now there would be a 10th or 20th Anniversary model!!!
Same specs, just made in INFI!!!!

Man, that would almost be worth sacrificing part of my anatomy for....

Very sweet.

Calling Captain Carling, 20th anniversary line inclusion, or custom shoppe offering (like how I classed up by spelling it "shoppe"??)

"It's easy to see.....
Who it was named after.... hahahahahahahahaha......."

hmmmmm. . . . . How wrong you are! If it had been after me it would've been called "A Whole Lotta Ugly".

Yours in nuclear ugliness,

What a sweet looking little fella! (the knife that is

) But, like Chip said, "In INFI!!" The Li'l Ugly looks like it would be a perfect companion to a Battle Mistress or Steel Heart as a "big knife, little knife" combo.

Dark Nemesis · Dec 28, 2001

Yeah, that in INFI would be nice

Think I would also want to switch over to canvas micarta for a little more grip on a knife that small.

Dec 30, 2001

I thought linen micarta was actually the stronger of the three ( Paper, canvas, linen) Or is the linen more decorative. I think paper micarta is suposed to be the most color rich and none of them are really bad handle materials.

Dark Nemesis · Dec 30, 2001

Ryu, good question, I don't know which is stronger. Was thinking of the canvas micarta just for a more positive grip in wet use situations rather than strength.

I think you're right though, that micarta is an all around good dependable handle material.

Jerry Busse · Dec 30, 2001

Canvas is by FAR the strongest of the micartas. Followed by linen then Paper.

You guys are too much!

I Should'a known. Jerry is a power freak. He's like Tim the tool man. MORE POWER! if it's the strongest around you can bet it's goin on a Busse. He Jerry why not textured INFI handle slabs. Boy they'd be cold as all get outs in the winter.
