Taken from a thread where someone barged into his forum and posted a "Spydercos are fugly" thread.
I think it sums it up. Sal is a classy guy.

The difference is, Spyderco's "ugly" knives usually look odd because they perform a specific function. A carbon fiber inlay in a blade does not perform a function other than appealing to a person's sense of aesthetics. That said, these ZT knives do an excellent job of highlighting their ability to produce intricate designs that push the boundaries of what production knives can be. I think that ability to produce finely tuned knives, with advanced knife technology, carries over to their regular production models, and improves their function overall, but I do not see much functional improvement in some of the limited editions. I have been wrong before though, and just looking at all these pics prompted me to pick up an 0392 and 0900 recently.
