    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)
