Fugly
Designed by Jake Diaz from Happy As Larry
Manufactured by CJRB Knives
My first of many production collaboration knife designs and the only one ever to be branded as “Have A Nice Day” and not "Happy As Larry”.
The CJRB Fugly is a distinctly unusual knife but with proportions and comfort that makes for a perfect EDC.
Fugly started with the name first so it needed a suitable design. Although not disgustingly obscene, Fugly is a mix of design ideas that are generally not used together but have been massaged to create something that is distinctly unusual.
A 90mm long blade with a low tip makes for a great utility cutter. Weighing less than 100 grams and with its deep carry pocket clip, it still easily disappears in the pocket.
Blade steel is CJRB/Artisan Cutlery’s proprietary sprayform AR-RPM9 which is similar to 9CR18MOV but with improved toughness.
Looking closely at Fugly, it’s the small details that I enjoy. There's the gold thumb studs that don't align with the random bit of jimping and the blade stripes that don't compliment any other part of the design. The narrower pivot area that swells out down the handle works with the flat finger choil and pointed beak that makes it oh so comfy. These all just add to the fugliness of the knife but work so well together for a great edc knife with an extremely useful blade shape.
