    I am not going to that URL, but I’m predicting that even at “20%” off that knife is a bad deal.

    Resident knife dweeb here. You all know me; my credentials are in my post history. I am a veritable connoisseur of crap exactly like this.

    These twerps can cry “patriot” as much as they want, but this is a piece of shit OEM knife from China. The factory will do you any printing you want on the handle for a trivial upcharge. For instance, this looks an awful lot like the Top Quest T27019 (page 5, catalog here) or myriad other similar knockoff junk. The unit cost on this type of thing is about $2 each in bulk, for instance like this. Give me half an hour and I can probably figure out who the actual supplier is.

    Some rat bastard is laughing all the way to the bank with these.

      In case you were wondering, they are charging $69, while saying you’re saving “$100+”

      They’re also saying it’s a limited-stock item with only 150 ever made. Sure, buddy.

      They’re also selling a pack of crappy trump-themed memorabilia, a plane model, a blanket that’s supposedly “Trump” themed but has no trump branding, and a crappy electric lighter I’ve seen thousands of on Aliexpress.

        If I had had the money in 2016, I would gladly be that rat bastard. It was obvious then that magtards would buy anything with dipshit’s name on it, and you could easily slap a banner on your website that “10% of your purchase will be donated to conservative* causes.” With a disclaimer that stipulates that conservative in this case is conservation or that it’s net proceeds after costs, and include salaries and political donations in costs. Political donations in this case actually referring to planned parenthood or blue campaigns in battleground states.

        Suck money out of idiots and put it to good use.

        Sell 150 each of 100 very slightly different designs, claim they’re all limited edition.

        (Or, this being Trump, just outright lie and call it political interference when someone points it out)

    You know it’s a real combat knife because it has a bottle opener built in. I’m maybe even kidding.

      Isn’t that a belt cutter? (hook knife)

      You can also see the glass breaker, it’s very common for these knifes to have a belt cutter and a glass breaker

        Exactly what it looks like, yeah.

        Which, as far as I’ve ever heard it, would make it a “folding utility knife”. I’ve also never seen a combat knife without a fixed blade, because… “Hold on let me just unfold my pocket knife so I can combat you!”

        Any folding knife, again, as far as I’ve ever seen, would be more likely to be called a tactical knife. Which is just another word for utility folder IMO.

            Eh, depends. I used to carry a similar knife when I was a vol FF, because seat belt cutter + glass break is handy, and the blade worked better for clothing caught in something than the belt cutter (belt cutter works best when its taut and flat, since its basically a coupon cutter).

            Worked just great for the intended purpose. What its not, however, is more than just a utility folder.

        Dual purpose. Actually I tried to look up what they list it as and all I came away with is the perfect discovery of it’s pricepoint:

        “20% off”

        The generalizing of 200M people y’all do is crazy to me. Carrying a knife is very common in rural areas.

        But yeah they white labeled a cheap combat knife they thought idiots would think is cool so we’re going to start seeing news stories about neo Nazis starting a spree of stabbings with trump combat knives 🙄

        There is a pretty clear pattern not just here but on Reddit as well (but much moreso here) of allowing jokes and memes about guillotining people and other violence and nobody cares; but then to turn around and lose their shit over this.

              no one’s “pretending” anything. trump voters “ideals” are racism, guns, and jeebus, or some combination of the three

              your trolling game needs a lot of work. maybe you should go back to /c/fuckcars and try to defend giant ridiculous dudebro pickup trucks again

        That’s why it’s a really good cash grab. They’re selling $5 knives with the word trump printed on them for $70 dollars after a 50% discount. They say the knives are rare (only 150 ever made or some bs). their 5 iq brains will be all over this shit

    That looks like a knife that came with the cheap walmart-brand survival kit that I bought to keep in my car.

    It is horrible. Worst knife I have ever bought.

    But it does have the seatbelt cutter and the glass breaker just like the one here. I think you can get it for a few bucks separately from the kit.

        I haven’t tried the seatbelt cutter on the knife, and i don’t even keep that knife near me.

        I’m willing to bet that the seatbelt cutter can’t be as bad as the blade is, and that piece of shit can’t hold a sharpened edge. Though that bar is on the floor. But if it is somehow worse, i wouldn’t be too surprised.

    If anyone would be able to tell the difference between a “combat” knife and a fucking “pocket knife”, you would think it would be the y’all quaeda brigade of Trump supporters. But the fact that they’ll buy this shit up in droves despite knowing damn well it’s not what it’s advertised as just points to how brainwashed these cultists are.

        I would just train an AI on trump’s speeches.

        “A great knife, one of the best knives in the world. It can kill sharks and batteries. Other knives are baby knives… Oooh watch me, I’m a baby knife, I can only cut diapers, mommy come see how sharp I am. Our knife can also cut diapers by the way, very effectively, I do it all the time.”

      That’s what I was hoping in 2020. It seems the slow steady progress of time will have to take care of it.
