    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)

      The day after Trump loses:

      • PatriotAddictDeals.com closes shop
      • PatriotAddictBargains.net opens for business
      • PatriotAddictBargains sales rep: “Sorry, sir, we are a completely different company in a very real and legally-binding sense, and cannot honor a refund for your Trump NFT Ninja Sword. We can, however, offer you a limited-time 10% off coupon for this handsome Trump Ninja Sword display case.”

    This just reminds me of Rwanda where right before the big one, they started distributing machetes which then were used to chop the opposition to death…

    But of course trump wouldn’t do that… Without trying to scam his own voters first, at least.

    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.

    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”

        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.

      Yes, one would normally prefer a fixed blade.

      However, depending on local laws, that may not be possible to carry.

      That reminds me, I’m moving soon, I need to check out some various laws for the new place.

        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.”

    Fwiw, I don’t think the knife is directly affiliated with Trump; I think they just bought the ad space. I could be wrong though.

    Also, that’s not a combat knife. Thats a cheap no-name pocket knife.

    Aaaaaand this pales in comparison to all the firearms you can find with Trump’s face engraved on them.
