What are some really autistic products made by larger companies? I'll start with the SOG hand axe. Tang is sharp and protrudes from the handle scales, ergonomic shaping is uncomfortable, it has horrible balance and is way too heavy so you can't get any blade speed, and it has this straight razor fucking hollow grind. Couldn't get beyond two swings with it.
Everything SOG or CRKT is shitty.

>switch from saber grind to inferior hollow grind

Schrade died years ago, 100% of employees laid off and all manufacturing sold and liquidated.
The name was eventually bought by a chinese factory that had already been making garbage for years (or decades) and now they sell a shit they unironically call "Schrade".
0/0 DO NOT SUPPORT. The Schrade family/legacy did their best and made their money entirely in the past, it's a phony chinese scam now. They didn't even buy the Schrade patents or designs, just the name. Fuck off.

Some of their simple folding pocket knives are good stuff. They make a bunch of faggy multitools too though.

Schrade died because Walmart sent back a huge order in an effort to get them to outsource work to China.
Taylor Cutlery now owns the name and rights.
Camillus died because of months of union strikes and United Cutlery bought the name and rights for $200,000.
Both companies now make China fucking shit.
