Ugliest Traditionals

“All I have left is some with ‘ugly’ horn.”

That’s what @knifeswapper told me when I reached out about getting a 2020 Forum Knife. I had missed out on the whole conversation and ordering process, so that seemed fair. And ugly and 2020 seemed to go hand in hand.

I know it’s all subjective, but I think what showed up is awesome! Maybe not perfect horn, but definitely unique. It reminds me of lizard skin; in appearance and texture. A very pleasant tactile experience! And there is a translucence like GECs looking glass acrylic.

Anyways, I’m digging this “ugly” knife, and wanted to share it.

I LIKE ugly knives. I only really included the Barlow in this picture because I was eagerly waiting for somebody to start a “five ugliest “ thread, and I wanted to be ready.

umm ... where's the ugly one?

This one, for the win!
I know there are folks that love 'em... and I agree that "form follows fashion", and, paraphrasing Forrest Gump 'ugly is as ugly does'..... but those are still some of the ugliest knives I've seen..
