    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.

          189 -> 69 is also not a $135 savings

            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.

          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.
