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"

[–] nnullzz 26 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

189 -> 69 is also not a $135 savings

[–] jettrscga 20 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

20% off $69 makes it $55. $190-$55 is $135 savings.

The savings seem correct, it's just really confusing.

Everything about it is obviously wrong. I've never seen a better metaphor for american conservatives.

That shit isn't worth $10.

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.

Tati-cool. Useless in practice.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

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.
