Not "embarassed" about any of the knives that I own from cheap to expensive.
There are a couple that I'm sure a few ppl would shake their heads at like a Spyderco Spyker and Tighe Twist, a CRKT Ikona Fossil and a Kershaw Segal.
But, I'm make no apologies for them. I was an early collector of Ken Onion designs wc is why I still own the Spyker and Segal. I am also a fan of Brian Tighe's designs wc is why I still own the Stick. I just like the Fossil and, if you don't, that's your problem, not mine.
There is a ZT 0562 clone that I bought out of curiosity that I still have that I "should" be embarrassed about buying but I got a full refund for it because it was such a poor copy and it cost me nothing. The blade in unknown steel on it "looks" fantastastic but the scales "s*ckw" (nothing like the original) wc is why I got the refund.
Otherwise, the only knife I would be embarassed about buying would be one that I paid TOO much for and fortunately there are no such knives in my collection.
