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.

[-] lurch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 hours ago

lol, it's a folding knife. how fitting 🤣

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 12 points 5 hours ago

MRW I enter political memes to dunk on trump and find all the knife people in here making good points.

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 1 points 2 hours ago

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

[-] Roflmasterbigpimp@lemmy.world 32 points 8 hours ago

I tried to mess with the customer support, but they stayed way too nice, so I felt bad and stopped. .__.

[-] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago

Just a good business who found a good business

[-] bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 7 hours ago

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.

It's probably cheap soft steel made in China. You're probably fine.

that's not even mallninjashit--more like backwoods redneck flea market discount bin shit

I've seen gas stations with a wider selection of knives than an actual knife store, that's no insult.

[-] leisesprecher@feddit.org 12 points 11 hours ago

His followers can't afford mallninjashit.

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 40 points 12 hours ago

Made in China with the latest in Tin technology

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 28 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

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

[-] MTK@lemmy.world 16 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

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

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 34 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

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@lemmy.world 21 points 9 hours ago

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.

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 26 points 9 hours ago

189 -> 69 is also not a $135 savings

[-] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 14 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 9 hours ago

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.

[-] ATDA@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

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.

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

Just a money grab. You really are trying to make it into something it's not.

[-] Voyajer@lemmy.world 12 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago)

I mean, OP didn't choose to market it as a combat knife.

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

I'm sure we're going to see a jump in stabbings with trump knives any day now.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 20 points 11 hours ago

nope. i've personally met people who think they're ready for combat and then showed me one of these 10$ gas station bullshit "knives"

trump followers are exactly that type of person

[-] Rin@lemm.ee 17 points 11 hours ago

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

[-] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 10 hours ago

Even a bullshit knife can cut you.

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 2 points 10 hours ago

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.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 15 points 10 hours ago

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

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Nope, y'all pretending they all are single issue we want to kill libs voters. You just can't help yourself.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 5 points 8 hours ago

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

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

There you go again, completely ignoring reality and trying to understand the opposition and just going to turn them all into a singular monster 🤷‍♂️

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Bro's trying to pretend 200 million people support Trump and accusing other people of ignoring reality 💀

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

I guess it'll be a landslide in the election then 🤷‍♂️

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 5 hours ago

How many people do you think live in America?

[-] IsThisAnAI@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Oh, you're being pedantic because I didn't check the 2024 number and say 135. 👍 got me.

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 3 hours ago

He got 74 million votes in 2020, lmao. What number did you think you were checking?

[-] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago

A money grab for sure but not just... His base is openly getting ready to reclaim the election they already "know" will be stolen. Golden Sneakers and "my" bible are cash grabs ok; combat knife...

[-] FluorideMind@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

I mean. It isn't even a combat knife. It's just a pocket knife.

[-] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 2 points 6 hours ago

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?

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 5 hours ago

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.
