For five bucks more you can get these two cheap Kershaw knives st Walmart. They aren’t great, but they are assisted open, and they can be opened with one hand, unlike those crappy Remington knives I bought here.
I do own this Kershaw set, although I paid $20 for it. Good enough for the glove compartment or to let someone borrow.
@craigthom I’m pretty sure I got a 2-pack of Kershaws for like $14 here a while back. Same use - toss in the drawer and door pocket/console for Justin Case.
@Mehsturbator S&W name definitely is a classic, glad they won’t be removing it from their gun line since the new name is quite ridiculous and relates to nothing. On a corporate level the name means nothing anyhow, S&W Forever!
The weird thing is, these knives are legal, but put a pistol grip and scope on them, they suddenly become “assault knives” and are illegal. They’re the same knife, but because they look scarier, it supposedly makes them more dangerous.
I have one of these, paid ten bucks for it. I don’t use it much because the locking mechanism often sticks open, and it can be difficult to unlock it to get it to close again.
@lowlypeon do you need to press that lil button looking thing on the blade? i just got a different knife with it that is really tough to open, its a stupid trend on unnecessary complexity
@username No, it’s got a standard blade lock, nothing like those CRCKT knives. But that blade stop sometimes travels past the tang and wedges itself on the opposite side, and it takes a LOT of force to correct it, enough that i feel I’m risking cutting or stabbing myself in the process.
So, it got here. It’s definitely very not sharp! I’m pretty sure my toddler’s blunt-edge practice butter knife is sharper than this one. It’s almost like the edge of the blade is rounded.
Anyone else have that issue? Are any of these arriving sharp?
Just scored a 6 piece ozark knives(Walmart) multi colored shipped for under 7 bucks and they look alot better then the Tanto, buy both deals so Meh dont hate me ."Ozark trails multi colored 6 piece knife set free ship "good luck make nice givaways
I feel like I fell asleep for a very long time, and the world became obsessed with pocket knives. Perhaps with the TSA confiscating 10k/day, it has driven the demand up. Perhaps I am living such a wussy suburban lifestyle that I have only very rarely in my 40+ years had occasion to cut something that required cutlery in my pocket. Perhaps our society instinctually knows it is coming to an end and everyone wants to be more self sufficient. I don’t know. It all just seems strange to me.
@ahhhpancakes I didn’t realize how many times a day a sharp pointy blade helps me didn’t buy my first knife till i was 60…some days i carry some days i’m not in the mood but i use it everyday now own abut 12…many a Meh purchase just not today
I did a real two-fer Tuesday and bought 2 sets of 2 on a Tuesday. These will go to my son (one of them) and in my drawer of knives. I just bought a nice Lansky sharpening system so now my knives are sharp again…well 2 of them are at least. I believe I am currently at 50% purchase rate on Meh pocket knives, even though I only carry one at a time.
@RedOak I didn’t do a lot of research…I have free handed up to now and haven’t liked the inconsistency of the angle. So far I am happy with how it works. I also like having the 5 stages, helps reshape for chipped edges etc.
I also tried to resist,and I have a S & W like this, but not a tanto blade, which I prefer. But when it got to 2for1, that did it. I have ALMOST every kind of lockblade I want now, mostly assisted opening. And I’ve been carrying for yrs., and it comes in handy more than once a day.
Arrived (much earlier than anticipated…thanks for that!), but this is…barely better than the impulse buy crap at the checkout counter.
Solid grip feel, but blade is dull, cheap, wobbly…pretty sure TSA would let you walk on a plane with this [insert obvious facetiousness] because you’re more likely to inflict wounds with a fresh piece of paper.
It’ll do for EDC, but pray you don’t have to use it.
I want the scope, where can I get the scope?
www.knivesandspeakerdocks.com
also what’s with all the two packs? its like every day is tuesday now. it’s throwing off my internal clock
@rkess88 today is tuesday
I need another knife like I need a hole in my head.
@conandlibrarian A head has five holes, and they are all needed.
@Pantheist Does that include every single pore?
Slashing prices with this deal
It feels like I’ve relived Tuesday four times now.

Kershaw 2-Piece Knife Set
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Kershaw-2-Piece-Knife-Set/54320555
@craigthom after owning a different Kershaw with the assisted opening, I don’t think I could ever buy another knife without it.
@craigthom I’m pretty sure I got a 2-pack of Kershaws for like $14 here a while back. Same use - toss in the drawer and door pocket/console for Justin Case.
@craigthom Compelling argument @ 15 bucks.
@mike808 That Justin Case guy is an asshole.
I’m not sure that he deserves a knife with the quality of a Kershaw.

10/10 would buy
What a couple of cut ups!
Will Smith and Wesson Oil?
dam, thought the scope came with it for a moment lol
I don’t think the S&W name does add much, since, you know, they’re trying to dump it.

@Mehsturbator I can see it now, “Protected by American Outdoor Brands Corp.” is sure to strike fear in the hearts of any would-be criminals.
YES! YES! I posted on another thread that I needed a knife! AND NOW I HAVE TWO!!!

I would say the TAC is for tactical
@PenguinOnTheRox Is the CK for cheap knife? I don’t care I’m in for two
I had to buy these, because they got a glowing review by someone named Bobbitt.
/giphy flecked-highfalutin-toddy
Perfect for forgetting it in your pocket at the airport. TSA has a collection of my expensive knives.
Do you charge extra for the Wesson Oil?
And like so many before me, I now officially have too many knives.

It’s funny because I’m sorrowful and could use a tequila, but am impervious because I have so many knives.

Okay, fine. I could use a couple of cheapo knives.

@AmazingChicken Oh right, excuse my stupidity, thanks!

I guess Smith & Wesson (AOB Corp) felt calling it a “Tanto” blade was less racist than the runner-up “Injun Slitter” blade.

Are you thinking Tonto?
@RiotDemon I am, but I wouldn’t put the distinction within the grasp of S&W’s fan base.
Don’t tell my wife. At least I made it 2 days into 17 without buying anything.

@pcolachiller Nope, that’s A&W. S&W makes green beans!
@pcolachiller I’m partial to S&W Chili Makins
@sjk3 We don’t have s&w brand around here. Looks pretty good though.
Those sure look cheap and flimsy.

“At least one guy on Amazon swears by them for EDC use.” Had to look up that acronym; I was sure he wasn’t using one at EDC.
These seem like a good idea for random birthday gifts or saving for Christmas gifts next year.
Tantric knives? Made of rubber? Sounds kinkily flaccid. Just like this “deal.” Why, these don’t even have blueness, or toothiness.
Huh, I was thinking about needing a new knife. Let’s try this out

Oh Meh…I hardly knew ye.
The steel used in these knives isn’t very good. Cheap Chinese.
A cut above the rest???..NOT
I can’t figure out why I would want one of these, so two seems like too many.
@grmeyer You need it for the following:
There’s a bunch of reasons for you to buy a knife. You need two in case you want to do any of those things more than once.
@DaveInSoCal I was mildly amused until I got to #13. Then I was highly amused.
@cinoclav love # 13 too.

Great buy
I won’t step foot in a Walmart.
The other cheap knives I carry that cost $5 fall apart.
If these two last 6 months I’m happy
@meh427 Me either but i do have easy ship pass from them so its free shipping, I suspect these meh knives are also made in china or assembled in china
@meh427 I won’t even spend any of my money at Walmart–took a pledge over 12 years ago.
Like others have noted I’ve gone decades without feeling like I need a knife but it seems lately there’s something I have to cut four times a day
@meh427 meh packages
Haha yeah really.
I’ll have to buy a real knife off of a real website if I expect to really cut anything.
Kidding kidding
Was hoping these would sell out and block my temptation.
But no.
Turned on the VMP for those USB battery-fan gizmos in the middle of December so I guess these knives will work OK to amortize the 5 buck VMP.
Hope I don’t regret it. #CheapKnives? buoyant-punitive-margarita
I did a real two-fer Tuesday and bought 2 sets of 2 on a Tuesday. These will go to my son (one of them) and in my drawer of knives.

@tightwad how much research did you do before buying the Lansky? (The $30 5-stone version?)
Been free-handing with stones and wonder if the holding systems really work or are a gimmick.
@RedOak I didn’t do a lot of research…I have free handed up to now and haven’t liked the inconsistency of the angle. So far I am happy with how it works. I also like having the 5 stages, helps reshape for chipped edges etc.
@tightwad I noticed you can even get a strap bar for that set as an add-on. Seems like a worthy plus for a fine edge.
How do you ship…pony express? You banged me 5 bucks. I could have walked and picked it up quicker.

Only opened 1 of the four I bought and it is very sharp !
I think it was a very good deal.
BREAKING: Now being sold by another sleazy surplus goods website for two dollars more, plus two dollars for shipping.
Honestly these have been great knives after a year. Reliable tools. also…new band name…Reliable Tools. I just called it.
