Who do you think makes the coolest looking "Tacticool" knife?

First, because no one has done it yet

and then, my zombie apocalypse tool

While not technically a knife, I think the Annihilator by Dead On Tools deserves an honorable mention. As if the name and design weren't badazz enough, it's even got a skull and crossbones on the handle------------how do you get more tacticool than that?! :D

The darn thing keeps calling my name during every trip I make to Home Depot, but I've been strong...........
 
I second the love of Spartan knives. I have a Nyx and it is a great quality blade with both spot-on function and great appeal!!
 
I think we need a clarification of what "tacticool" means, given the wide variety of knives posted on this thread. When I think of the term "tacticool", I think military wanna-be; at least that's what it means on watch forums. Maybe it means something different on knife forums.
 
No tacticool knives look cool in my opinion. They are often over designed and gaudy and in my opinion, perpetuate the stereotype of knives as weapons. I think in general they do the knife community as a whole a large injustice. Worse yet, the people who carry these types of knives are often the ones whipping them out with a huge wrist flick in public and scaring the bejesus out of any sheeple around. People who are in the position to actually use a tactical knives (different from modern in my definition) don't use "tacticool" knives, they use very classic, understated, utilitarian designs like the kabar usmc. "Tacticool" knives are for mall ninjas and keyboard commandos, neither of which are anything resembling cool...

Just my opinion, take it for what it's worth...

I doubt there are many tacticool enthusiasts on this or any other legit knife forum, at least for my definition of tacticool.
with that being said, cold steel makes some nifty cool looking stuff that's at least half way decent.
 
Spartan Blades or Treeman Knives are all pretty awesome in my opinion.
With no disrespect to Chris Reeve, I think Spartan Blades are a nice alternative with a bit higher quality.
Treeman knives are just as tough as nails... I would put them up against Busse anyday.

However, for the money, it's really hard to beat Scrapyard knives.
 
I'd say the spyderco civilian, but that thing can probably function as a combat knife. So I'm gonna have to go with... whatever the thing posted by BePrepared is, I honestly don't know what to call that beyond "Mall Ninja Nirvana".
 
I suspect that the Striker Sng is about as tactical-looking as you can get. I do not own one, but it is interesting.
I do have a CRK Umnumzaan, and that blade-shape is really very nice, and about as tactical as I care for.

I was trying to find a picture of an old English "bullock" dagger, but then I realized that you guys were looking for taciticool, not testicool knives.
