Maybe it comes with a single knuck in mangled old railroad tie steel to justify that price?But for me what always takes the cake is this classic. The Sayoc Kali Eskrima knife aka the Amercukri.
Sold 2006-2007 on rangermade.us for 1195 USD. Deal of the century.
Look at it. Not a single F given. Twelve hundred dollars.
And those are their actual promotional photos, too.
I am STUNNED! ONLY $1200!Most of these ugly knives are at least competently made. Even the chinese cheapos, if you consider they make them for pennies on an assembly line. The funky Spydercos you can see how they would still be good in the hand. I have a real soft spot for the ones that fold up to be symmetrical (Balance, Poliwog), that's just cute. And there are fine brands like TOPS that has many models that look like they've been assembled from the catalogue of survival knife cliches.
The ugliest ones I think are the ones where nobody cared what they were putting out, especially if there's a whiff of swindling.
Like these India made garbage carving sets that positively infect the second hand market. They're always rare, vintage or antiques. There are a few variations, all made to the same rattly standards.

You win the abomination category. 
Time to drop a turd in the punch bowl.
Ugliest part of this knife? Combo edge! ><

btw - this is one of the best knife threads in the history of....knife threads. Reading this really puts a smile on my face.
Looks like this spiderman knife is in a pile of s**tTouché mon frere.
Competition is getting quite fierce on the ugly knives thread. Good thing I always keep one of these concealed on my person.
You’ll never guess where I’m hiding it.
Here’s another gem.
Spyderman has no pockets, or utility belt and is in spandex. I wonder how he carries this?
I LOVE that knife, but it is very polarizing. hahadon't like most OTF's but this one is one of the worst i've seen.
I would definitely end up grabbing this in the wrong place...This is a contender
