    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.

    Ahh right, I assumed 100% voting rates. You’ve definitely changed there context here. Really great job at focusing in on it.

    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.

    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

        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”

          So they’re offering 20% off the $69 price? Because 185 -> 69 is more than 20%. So then it’s just a clearance item. A shitty clearance knife.

        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.

    Trump be hiring every sixth grader that pirated Photoshop cs3. Everything he releases just has this design aesthetic that no one tried because it’s awful.

        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

        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.

          if by “generalizing” you mean claiming to be objectively a better person than anyone who votes for a rapist con man traitor convicted felon, then you’re goddamn fucking right-- i am

          and please link me to the comments of people “losing their shit” because i don’t see any of that in this thread

              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

          Beyond the item itself, my view is that the J6 mob attacked the capitol by reading between the lines/signs of their messiah. What signal does this give?

            I think you’re reading too much into this specifically but there’s definitely a lot to say about why Trump appeals to gravy seals in the first place.
