What is the meanest nastiest knife you know of? What would be your knife of choice if you knew a crazy psychopath were coming to try to kill you?

Butter knife, right from the dishwasher.
WhiteMarshJohnny,
Please rephrase your question so we have a better idea of what you're looking for. Right now it invokes a tacky cenematic image of Jason Kruger III charging down the hallway with an overly large gleaming razor sharp serving spoon attached to the end of his stump where the poison dipped hook used to be.
Of course if it is a fantasy thread -
Vorpal Sword going snicke snee!
or
Parang

If I knew a psycopath was coming to kill me, my knife of choice would be a bayonet...on the end of a 12 bore shotgun.
Either the Cold Steel Bowie knife, for its sheer size,
Or, the humble and venerable USMC KaBar.
I actually keep the KaBar in my night stand next to my .357. The simple fact that it has been used UNCHANGED in combat for the past 65 years goes to show that when you want a bad-ass knife that will work each and every time, the KaBar wouldn't let you down.
Of course, If you are trying to be real bad-ass, before you begin your attack you have to use the line from the guard in "The Rock". "I'd take pleasure in guttin' you, boy."

For looks, I agree with mete, a Kukri is wicked.
For use, I'd go with a modern version of a Qama, here is an old one:

Old Hickory Butcher Knife. Freshly whetted and gleaming with a light coat of vegetable oil.
We were glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife...

Love the karambit. I've got an Emerson with the "wave" feature. It's out and ready to go in an instant!

Who's calling me on the rules?
If I won't get disqualified (I know crazed psycho killers are staunch rule enforcers) I'd pack a CS Grosse Messer ("Big Knife").
Remember, fight dirty!

I have to agree that the Kabar
is a pretty formidable knife. I am not so sure that it has not evolved however as the ones I have seen lately have partially serrated edges with polymer handles. The older style knives are still being made with the smooth edge blade and the leather handle as well, but the newer ones are nastier looking for sure. I just picked up a Buck with a half serrated flat black coated blade with with false edge and black and green polymer handle. This thing is obviously made to be a survival/fighting tool. The only thing that it is lacking that the kabars and other fighting knives have is the metal pommel/skull crusher.

the meanest looking knife that comes to mind is a custom Steve Ryan Model 1 folder with a serrated blade.

Well that would have to be a POS my grand daddy made from an old file. He had me cutting the greens off of beets on his farm, and I thought I was slick tossing them up and doing the deed. A couple of severed tendons later I learned my lesson. That was one nasty knife!

My vote goes to vibroblades. Lightsabers almost got it, but they're more sword than knife. Also, with the cauterization, a wee bit of the "nasty" factor is lost.
For something your more likely to find in this system, I'd have to go with the Spyderco Harpy. I mean, come on, Hannibal eff'ing Lector used one. Nasty enough for him, good enough for me.

Meanest knife I ever seen was an old Barlow that my dad carried. As a kid I was messing around with it and snapped it shut on my finger. Four stitches and a "talkin' to" from dad for sneaking his knife out of the house and I wanted nothing to do with that knife again.
To this day I have had no interest in the Barlow design. Its mean I tell ya. Just the sight of one causes nightmares. Not only did it cause a physical scar, but the emotional scar is deeper still.
