😅 Oh man, that’s my bad. I’m so used to Reddit that I was positive I knew what kind of post this was. I still maintain my point, but that was a stupid reaction on my part

I’ve updated the post after finding the legit version of this knife. I like it, but the carry depth is too much for its size, which is definitely a problem for deploying this thing.

That’s the one, and I’m actually going to carry it now. The difference is night and day, holy shit

I mean obviously, I’m just expressing bewilderment that the Wii version happens to be the only survivor.

This isn’t a bad suggestion, I just have a few personal quirks to what I’m looking for. While I like the Fairbairn style and acknowledge it is better for pure combative purposes, I would personally err more on the side of utility and no-shit edge awareness if I can’t legally carry a double-edged blade.

In addition to that, I just really want a wave feature that works. A lot of them are shit, or iffy at best, but even the shitty knock-off I bought has promise. I know it’s kind of a gimmick and still not very common, it’s just the personal hunt that I’m on because it lends a good balance of deployment speed and legal compliance.

Oh my god, I think you’re right- I didn’t even know there was another product listing for this. I’ve already filed a return and am about to order from your link, I’ll let you all know how this one fares

lol, you couldn’t make it one sentence without randomly bringing Trump into this. Are you scared RFK is gonna make you illegal? I’m not reading the rest of that, go touch grass

🤓 nobody was talking to you, chief

🤓 You sure like spotting things, granny

Why, of all things, is it a fucking wii build?

Please share with the class why this comment made you think of terrorism, my totally healthy and mentally sound educated man

No one gives a fuck about “the points”, when are you people going to figure that out? You are the ones harming people by trying to dismiss necessary behavioral changes and real advice because there are technically other factors that you can back up with OODLES OF PEER-REVIEWED STUDIES, HOW CAN YOU INSULT MY INTELLIGENCE LIKE THIS??? No one cares what you studied while knocking out gen ed requirements, get over yourself.

You’re not in high school debate class anymore, you’re among people seeking and sharing knowledge that can be of actual use to them. If you’re gonna pretend you’re in someone’s corner and shield them from a false sense of blame, and then REFUSE to discuss actual, meaningful solutions, you are utterly worthless in spaces like this.

I’m sorry you guys are getting so much pushback here, lol. I was hoping Lemmy would have less… “Reddit” problems, but the number of dislikes and comments here tells me there’s still a LOT of pedantic, self-deluded, minimally educated, credential-worshiping fatties in denial within our community. It’s too bad so many give in to their emotions without practicing REAL rationality these days, it sounds like both Lemmy AND these people could really benefit from that ability.

I’ve never understood these serrated hawk bill knives, what do you use them for?

They’re cheap, so I bought one just to try it. I can confirm that it’s a cheap, Chinese made knife. The liner lock barely works, the hinge comes loose out of the box, the handles feel 3d printed, etc. And I’ve seen the Luzon, but it’s so ridiculously big and stupid looking that I’d rather just carry a Kabar at that point.

Obviously this design is the epitome of fighting knives, but as an edc, general use, pocket knife, I believe this concept is about as good as you’re going to get for defensive use. I’m in the thrusting-over-cutting camp right now, if that wasn’t apparent. So long, plain edged blades with no stupid gimmicks or “features” to get in the way, which even Emerson Waves lack in with the disc opener and sub-4" blades (no idea why every “defense” knife is fucking 3" or shorter).

Drones in general are undoubtably changing the landscape, but attributing this to VR because of fpv specifically is a stretch. You could remove fpv entirely and it wouldnt change much.

Stop coping already, it’s embarrassing. VR isn’t “changing” anything. VR porn isn’t “changing sex”, and FPV displays for drones aren’t “changing war”.

Listen, it’s okay that we bought into an over-hyped and ultimately useless tech gimmick that was genuinely fun and exciting for a time. But it does no one any good to constantly try to validate it with this level of inflated importance.

No, it wasn’t. I just bought one and still needed a Meta account. Where are you getting this bullshit, stop it

Great, more prohibitively expensive, feature-stripped, mobile phone based VR slop with proprietary app stores.

Isn’t that more of a flatscreen thing?
