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.

His followers can't afford mallninjashit.

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

[-] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Just a good business who found a good business

[-] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 month ago

When the grifter has a better customer support than most retail websites...

[-] bcgm3@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

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."

Made in China with the latest in Tin technology

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 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 42 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month 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 26 points 1 month 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 33 points 1 month ago

189 -> 69 is also not a $135 savings

[-] jettrscga@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

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.

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.

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Tati-cool. Useless in practice.

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.

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.

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

[-] bl_r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 month 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.

[-] generichate1546@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 1 month ago

Have you actually tried the seatbelt cutter..how sure are you that it works better than your terrible knife?

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Yes. America has well and truly become a parody of itself.

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.

[-] lennivelkant@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 1 month ago

Is a foldable combat knife a good idea? I'd think you'd want the blade to be fixed

[-] Case@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 1 month ago

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.

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

[-] djsoren19@yiffit.net 5 points 1 month ago

Wild that everyone is focusing on the absurdity of selling knives, as opposed to the url being PatriotAddictDeals.com

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

[-] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Is that a "combat knife"? Cause it looks like the box cutter I use at work

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.

[-] Aeri@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

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

[-] doggle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

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.
