Combat knife… What the actual fuck.
Seen in this clip
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.
Right? I was about to lose my mind because no one commentend that. This looks worse than the overlay of tele-shopping channels
MRW I enter political memes to dunk on trump and find all the knife people in here making good points.
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.
They’re also saying it’s a limited-stock item with only 150 ever made. Sure, buddy.
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)
It’s a lie. There are thousands available. If you order and they are close to running out, they will have more made.
Sell 150 each of 100 very slightly different designs, claim they’re all limited edition.
I see you’ve discovered boomer car culture.
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.
I’d say that this is America being beyond parody of itself seeing a presidential candidate’s speeches going full qvc, but we did once have a pyramid scheme selling racism that did wildly well
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.
A Pocket knife is one of these: https://www.victorinox.com/de-CH/Produkte/Schweizer-Taschenmesser/Mittlere-Taschenmesser/Swiss-Champ/p/1.6795
I will not accept or tolerate linguistic differences as an excuse, you’re being assimilated. Aswissilated if you want so. This is now a pocket knife, everything else not. I have spoken in my full authority as a owner of one of these.
Hope you have a lovely day, fellow pocket-knife owners.
Outside of the US or at least outside of English, a Swiss Army Knife is known as a pocket knife, and they’re not always Swiss-made either. As you can see from Victorinox’s own website (and they are the official manufacturer of what Americans call the Swiss Army Knife - which, indeed, got famous because it was used by the Swiss army), they call it a Taschenmesser, where Tasche translates to pocket and… I think you can guess what Messer translates to.
Nah that’s a knoyfe
Crikey I feel like over 100 bucks US for a swiss army knife is a bit steep
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.
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.
Wild that everyone is focusing on the absurdity of selling knives, as opposed to the url being PatriotAddictDeals.com
Wait, fuck how are they so beyond parody‽ Fucking losers
That’s what I was going to point out. Beside that sounding like the most obvious scam domain ever, reading it at face value would indicate that the Republicans think their supporters are a bunch of addicts. Did they fire everyone with any marketing background or are they all so far down the rabbit hole that this sounds perfectly reasonable to them?
Lol. They call a zippo a snowflake lighter compared to this electric one.
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
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.
Ahh right, I assumed 100% voting rates. You’ve definitely changed there context here. Really great job at focusing in on it.
Just a money grab. You really are trying to make it into something it’s not.
Dude I’m not sure where trump hosts the streams of his rallies but whereever it is it has some of the weirdest, sketchiest ads right next to his face
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…
I mean. It isn’t even a combat knife. It’s just a pocket knife.
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.
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
Even a bullshit knife can cut you.
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
Nope, y’all pretending they all are single issue we want to kill libs voters. You just can’t help yourself.
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
There you go again, completely ignoring reality and trying to understand the opposition and just going to turn them all into a singular monster 🤷♂️
Bro’s trying to pretend 200 million people support Trump and accusing other people of ignoring reality 💀
I mean, OP didn’t choose to market it as a combat knife.

I’m sure we’re going to see a jump in stabbings with trump knives any day now.
That same Patriot Addict company also has a Trump bobblehead which is 100x more horrifying than I expected. Tremendously horrifying. The most horrifying thing in the history of our country.

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

It’s a Chinese knife in American livery it’s got levels and they’re mostly dumb or crazy and or dumb and crazy.
Inb4 Patriot Glocks or AR14s….I wouldn’t be surprised if someone else already has tapped that market though.
Sad to see a company that once manufactured arms to fight fascism turn to manufacturing them for the glorification of fascists.
Also a small nerdy aside, their ‘about’ page still mentions Blish’s delayed blowback breech locking system which, while technically effective when done properly, has since been proven to not have functioned as Blish thought at the time. It’s actually considered an unsafe delay system as modification, damage, or material change of the gun can cause the delay to disappear resulting in the explosion inside the barrel finding its way out of the wrong end of the barrel possibly injuring/killing the operator.
