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

      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.”

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The handle should be made of bone with knobby spurs on it large enough to make it uncomfortable to use.

    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.

      I mean I’m voting against Trump but the temptation to grift his followers is present in the back of my mind!

        I won’t lose any sleep over it. Thinking about spraypainting trump on some old pallet wood and selling them on etsy as ‘patriot planks’ for $150 a piece.

        Go ahead. Keep some of the cash, donate some to a liberal cause. Don’t feel bad, they’re willing to tank an entire nation for their grift.

          Oh no qualms about that just… grifting is a fair amount of work.

    Trump and his family of billionaires are also launching a cryptocurrency as final bid to grift as much as possible before he, hopefully, loses and they all become irrelevant forever

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

    Little bit of Insider Baseball on knives. Anytime a knife doesn’t list the blade steel, I assume we’re looking at 7Cr17MOV, 440C, or D2 with a bad heat treat. That price point is quite a bit higher than these cheap Chinese steels. Just another “True Patriot” grift. Pocket knives are cool tools and there are a slew of American brands that won’t break by cutting into cardboard. These Trump Combat Knives will last a couple months maybe.

      I sincerely hope you are not using something like that as a box cutter, because it absolutely isn’t one.

        I don’t think it even qualifies as a knife. It’s probably made of some sort of cheap stainless steel that goes dull if you sneeze at it.
