ugly daggers?

[Mr. Blades]

RAD hewer is ugly but nothing beats the Red Cross enlisted hewer red cross for UGLY!!

[Military Trader]

OK 1st pattern Luft displayed with the Luft sword (see picture) is really cool and the heer and SA are very neat and I agree that the red cross enlisted hewer gets the ugly nod followed by the HJ dagger (IMO). But I can't believe that so many hate the RAD enlisted hewer. That is one cool dagger. It is one of my favorites and is in my opinion an awesome dagger, not the least bit ugly. Anyone agree about the RAD?

IMO The RADs are nowhere as bad as the RLB daggers with the 'plucked chicken' style eagle. Maybe some confusion between the two?

My favorites are the Hunting Association and personalised and/or ivory gripped daggers.

Ugly NPEAs

Boy Skip, do I hate to hear this. But, that being said, I would have to agree in SOME instances. What I have found is that many of the examples in collections are not original and the early, issued graduation pieces in excellent condition or better are really nice, but maybe I am a little unobjective. The motto is: Be More Than You Appear To Be and maybe this is how you have to approach this model.

No confusion from me. While the RLB eagle is certainly nothing to write home about, the stag gripped battle axe is my cellar dweller. TENO enlisted is only slightly better.

For me, the 55cm DLV is the ugly bird of the bunch.

I like my RAD hewer, but it is colored by knowing how it feels in the hand--it has a nice heft. I can chop down a small tree with it and It is not going to break even if I threw at a moving vehicle .And hands down,it the one I would want to have in a dark alley way.

Ugly? ANY hewer. I'm down to one Red Cross EM and I keep it buried in a drawer. It kinda of reminds me of the fat gal at the dance; Everybody knows about it but no one goes there! I primarily collect political daggers so you can guess which ones I think are attractive!
