@ThoR294 ... and now it's $30.23. Amazon uses dynamic pricing on some things; you'll see the price go up and down. Guess what it was when mediocrebot checked the price? You'll not likely see the price drop to 14 bucks though. Aw naw wait, that's the EMT... serrated half blade. Still, I bet it's dynamic pricing.
@PocketBrain I'm sure that this has been discussed many times before on many different forums, but how is this legal? Sounds like a class action lawsuit waiting to happen.
@jsh139 It's illegal to change your prices? Since fucking when? Install the camelizer extension, otherwise known as camel camel camel, and you can see the historic prices for pretty much any item on Amazon. It's free, so you don't have to worry about calling your lawyer. Dipshit.
@awestruckin@jsh139@PocketBrain It seems you three don't have a very good idea of how Amazon's prices work (at least why the price changes so often) . Many of these items are shipped by amazon (amazon warehouse kinda stuff) . They may ship the exact same item from multiple sellers but only only show the single item under the seller with the lowest current price. So it's likely one of the sellers changed its price after seeing this price or just trying to get on top.
@RedHot Yeah seriously, it seems you don't have a very good understanding of things, I wasn't saying Amazon was fulfilling it and the stock was in Jeff Bezos's garage, just that the prices fluctuate. Whether it's a market-driven bot or eager retailers, prices fluctuate even hourly on some items. Don' try 'splain sometin' you don' unnerstan'.
@snapster Huh...I always thought it was the opposite of crapping you positive. To crap one positive is to grant them crap +1 while crapping them negative would be a -1 in the crap column. I didn't know Toon was a writer for Raising Arizona too!
I'm buying one to drop in my purse. The bottle opener and screwdriver might come in handy. I just hope I never, ever forget about it when I'm going to travel by plane.
@phatmass if you watch the video i linked above the guy carves some wood then it became loose and he was never able to tighten it back secure no matter how much he tried kind of disappoint
@snapster A mixture of fear (the prospect of regulatory backlash and legal proceedings is terrifying) and honesty. Believe it or not, most business folk don't knowingly like to break laws, even though most break some every day unwittingly (as we all do).
@Ringold I am familiar with interstate commerce laws in most categories. NY State law without Federal amendment to lean on is a local jurisdiction. It could be they are leaning on something at the federal level though. (similar to how prohibition wasn't actually repealed but was amended with restrictions)
I was excited at Kershaw but then I saw the model... I'd much rather spend a little more money for a good Kershaw.... Like the Ken onion shallot sans-serrations thank you. Oh wait I already have one.
P.S. I'd still buy another because I love my Kershaw
Ooh, it comes with a bottle opener! We don't need any of those silly knives that force us to randomly cut things while sober. It's obviously much preferred to be slashing under the influence (SUI).
(On another note, I want it because, well... Y chromosome. Must resist.)
@jsh139 I'm considering one for the upcoming zombie apocalypse. I don't plan on killing them with it, I plan on getting stupid drunk and the bottle opener is the shit.
I like mine so far. I've been wanting a knife with just a blade and bottle opener. For the price this is a pretty well made knife. I've had other low end kershaws and always been happy. The handle is a little beefier than I'd like for pocket carry, but it's a good knife. I like the little clip thing too even though I don't know if I'll use it much. Still a cool knife though, especially at $14. I don't know what they were smoking when they put the MSRP at $60, you can get a way nicer blade for that kind of money.

If this was the EMT it'd be an instant purchase. Still might have to pull this trigger on this. I'll sleep on it.
@lowlypeon def would have loved the emt version better. Still, this knife for $14 is getting bought by me.
No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
good color scheme though. close. . close.
@jrwofuga working on it...... some day, some day.
@jrwofuga No purple. Not even close.
@jrwofuga I, for one, appreciate this constant lack of georgia red. #THWg
I love purple.
@jrwofuga But one day, one day they'll have the loveliest of Georgia Black & Gold
"We're crapping you negative". Ha! Stolen right from Woot.
@jsh139 Yeah, but Woot stole it from Raising Arizona.
@bluedyn oh.
Several sold on eBay in the last couple weeks for $10-$20 shipped. Decent knife, meh price.
@ruouttaurmind THIS^ 9.99 all day on ebay.
@pewpewpew Are those legit though? There are a lot of cheap knockoff knives out there. I don't know if these are victim to that as well.
@ruouttaurmind Link, please? The ones I see on ebay are $9.99 plus $9.99 shipping. That's $19.98. From Hong Kong. High chance of it being counterfeit.
@boc Check SOLD LISTINGS in advanced search. The first seven results are $6.50-$13 plus $3.50 shipping (shipped from Fort Worth, TX). http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&LH_Sold=1&_udlo=&_udhi=&_samilow=&_samihi=&_sadis=15&_stpos=&_dmd=1&_ipg=200&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=Kershaw+Funxion&_sop=15
cool.
@Lera beans.
I've owned a small Kershaw since I was just a kid, top quality (Unless they changed manufacturing) I'll still Meh it since I don't need it.
Christmas presents for the bros.
@elliot91030 Ditto!
@elliot91030 Buying one for just this reason, coworker.
@wilfbrim That is to give to a knice coworker, right?
wow i thought a fuku bag dropped because I literally couldn't load this website forEVER and then its just a knife pppffftttt
@sp3ar - I know! I'm pretty sure I'll never get another fuku because it takes so long to load most nights.
I'm in!
@foodog
"We're crapping you negative" is what woot says about duplicate boc orders.
@medz it's "I shit you not" for the censored corporate type (Raising Arizona ftw)

@snapster I was hoping someone would find a video clip of the scene, since I couldn't. It's a great scene.
@snapster Huh...I always thought it was the opposite of crapping you positive. To crap one positive is to grant them crap +1 while crapping them negative would be a -1 in the crap column. I didn't know Toon was a writer for Raising Arizona too!
That's not a knoife...
This is a knoife.

I'm buying one to drop in my purse. The bottle opener and screwdriver might come in handy. I just hope I never, ever forget about it when I'm going to travel by plane.
@ABitterWoman You will. And the security monkeys will most likely not even notice.
the DIY model is the last one he shows you.... 12:16 is the time if they were selling the EMT version it would be awesome
@unixrab
@Moose
What is the country of origin? China?
@bensherman who cares? it's $14
@bensherman Earth.
@bensherman Amazon reviews are saying China
@medz I do, hence my question.
@bensherman
Will these whittle?
@phatmass if you watch the video i linked above the guy carves some wood then it became loose and he was never able to tighten it back secure no matter how much he tried kind of disappoint
@phatmass Just a whittle bit
Somehow I don't think they have that many of these.
Curious. Do they ship to NY ? Most knives don't, but I don't see anything about it.
@ceagee I think it's 4" or longer that they attempt to restrict.
I'd be curious without an entity association with NY and no federal laws (ala liquor) how they enforce such a restriction.
@snapster A mixture of fear (the prospect of regulatory backlash and legal proceedings is terrifying) and honesty. Believe it or not, most business folk don't knowingly like to break laws, even though most break some every day unwittingly (as we all do).
@Ringold I am familiar with interstate commerce laws in most categories. NY State law without Federal amendment to lean on is a local jurisdiction. It could be they are leaning on something at the federal level though. (similar to how prohibition wasn't actually repealed but was amended with restrictions)
i'm a sucker for cheap priced knives and flashlights. keep em coming.
@username If I were single I would have bought three of these, 'cause me too. As it is I couldn't quite find a way to rationalize even one.
@joelmw I have the same problem. I carry a knife all the time...one of 3 from woot or another 1 of 3 from woot...My current is the CRKT knife
Assumimg-lacy-month. Well, since I bought one for my dad and one for my brother, let's hope not.
I was excited at Kershaw but then I saw the model... I'd much rather spend a little more money for a good Kershaw.... Like the Ken onion shallot sans-serrations thank you. Oh wait I already have one.
P.S. I'd still buy another because I love my Kershaw
@Vettvilling
And still bought one since one can never have too many knives
Had this in my shopping cart on Amazon for a while, more than happy to buy it here for a lot cheaper.
Ooh, it comes with a bottle opener! We don't need any of those silly knives that force us to randomly cut things while sober. It's obviously much preferred to be slashing under the influence (SUI).
(On another note, I want it because, well... Y chromosome. Must resist.)
I broke down and bought one. Fuck it. Might come in use for camping and stuff. My little swiss army knife just doesn't "cut it" anymore.
@jsh139 I'm considering one for the upcoming zombie apocalypse. I don't plan on killing them with it, I plan on getting stupid drunk and the bottle opener is the shit.
@Cinoclav
Meh
So the two useful parts of this tool are 1) a bottle opener and 2) a knife. Perfect for the gentleman who plans to drunkenly murder his family.
Dakotaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
@PocketBrain got to be honest. not a fanning.
럭키백좀주세여
Please sell me a lucky bag. (fuku)
Is this the same knife that's in this video?
@Kevin ........... no
@Kevin Daaannnngg. Star Wars Kid is back, and this time he's angry.
I did some research on the steel used in the blade. It appears there are some rust issues. Just saying. Google it.
Google Scotland's National Animal while you're at it.
@Saffer49
I said to myself, "hey, meh should sell more knives so that they have an excuse to put Knife Is For Cutting on the front page"...
then I realized.
OH MEH GOD, North Dakota!! Hellllooo? Anybody up there? Someone please make sure they're still with us...
Meh $5 less $5 VMP = $10 towards a SDF

Mine arrived a few days ago, like it more than I expected to, should've bought 3.
Wish I bought this in hindsight. I'm looking for an EDC. 3 inch or under.
Love mine. Discovered it came with an apple opener.
