Alright, the best knife has been discussed to death here, let's try to find the worst knife ever! (For outdoors purposes at least). Put image link plus url to where to buy it. Bonus for ridiculously high prices.

I'll start out with "Master Cutlery TA-86", a quality knife that is really good for whittling and making feathersticks.

Bear grylls gerber knife first edition. Pommel broke off easily. Blade blunted after minimal use and tang occasionally snapped through the handle.

I'd like to see a leather sheath for that!

On a slightly more serious note, worst knife I have handled is a Casstrom Leuku

Leuku chop by British Red, on Flickr

Cursed thing had a handle so short and badly designed that it was an accident waiting to happen. Casstrom really couldn't care less either.

Don't know if its the worst knife ever - but certainly the worst that I have owned

Leukus are meant to be held with three fingers only, the remaining pinky fits behind the handle to stop your hand sliding forward.

The plastic hollow handle survival knife IMHO is far worse than those seen so far. It's low price means that people are more likely to purchase one either as a budget bushcraft knife or for a bug-out-bag with dire results when they come to use it.

As a kid my friend had one although aluminium handle. It wasn't that bad. The ATAK would be worse. And the giant SAK as well. I kind of like shark knife though.

More bad knives, there has to be more out there!

I actually bought one of these about 9yrs ago purely to appease my inner 13yr old who was denied one when he begged for one for his birthday. .its complete bum never been used but I still cherish it as it was the epitomy of want as a teenager

I had one of those rambo survival knife back in the late 80's and another with a hard plastic sheath that you could combine with the knife and use as a wire cutter.
