I agree. But 'function' is a part of that equation.

To carry through on your analogy, I think some of the earlier Strider ARs and GBs were butt-ugly. They didn't even try to polish off the scorch marks were the titanium liner lock was bent into position.

The knives are some of the strongest and most reliable of any folders before or since.

I did not buy a Bodyguard .380 to obtain the accuracy of an Olympic target pistol or the beauty of a California claro walnut stocked Weatherby. I bought it to save my hide.

Ever stomp a Harley down into first gear? It sounds like a wet brick hitting a ten-penny nail. Some things aren't beautiful but run beautifully.
