@capguncowboy they’re mass produced in China for a dime a dozen, and trunk slammers will sell 'em cheap on marketplace websites like eBay and Amazon. Having said that, I have a couple as backup knives on various kits. It’s not a main carry one, but it’s cheap enough to keep in my overnight bag in the event I need it one day.
It was just a few months ago ThatDailyDeal had these (1" bigger) for $5 ea. They are great knives and I bought 6. but yours are overpriced meh.

@Woody1 Good eye Woody! I think a spring-assisted knife would be cool. It conjurs up the idea of a switchblade and maybe even M80 fireworks,where the guy says “I don’t keep those in the front, you have to come around to the back.”
@daveinwarsh I’m famous? Is this my 15 minutes of fame??
This dumb remark made it to the Meh email-thing I get every day & actually look at sometimes!!

I’m calling bullshit on some of the reviews on Amazon… They scream shill reviews.
“This rescue folding knife is very well made…”
“Not only is this Folding Pocket Knife by Outdoor Nation very cool to look at with its camo design…”
The rest of the reviews talk about how awesome it is because it’s camo. These are the same people that will buy a car no matter what, because it’s the color of ketchup and mayonaise mixed together.
@craigthom it’s frustrating for true consumers. Of course, I typically don’t buy garbage knives on Amazon. There are plenty of those at the flea market for a lot less.
@narfcake Thanks for pointing me to fakespot. 3camels I use for everything, and I have a ton of always set up.
@username Write long, glowing reviews iof everything, with pictures, if possible. Include homey anecdotes. Get your reviewing tracking high enough and they will find you.
meh says they’re a little foggy about who buys these knives. My neighbor state of Wisconson is buying them by the 3’s. I wonder what WI. knows that we don’'t know. Pre(pare) yourselves!!!
So apparently the knife is not sharp enough to cut through a seatbelt, hence the need for a specific seatbelt cutting tool. So basically this is a fucking glorified butter knife.
@gak0090 the seatbelt cutter on knives is so you don’t accidentally stab yourself while trying to cut through the seatbelt. Nylon is tough. I’m not arguing about the actual quality of this knife, it still could be dull as hell.
@gak0090 point missed gak… When you’re already hanging upside down or mashed against the air safety bags as the water rushes in or the smell of gas and impending (your) wienie roast looms large, you might not be ABLE to unfold a knife to cut away a jammed buckle but a quick yank of a impeded razor across the belt? Yeah, you’ll have enuf adrenaline for that. Or not… But for $8 it’s cheap insurance. Clip it to your seat belt harness, btw. You don’t want this tool flying around the car post crash or buried in a storage panel or glove box. Keep it where you can reach it.
@capguncowboy if you’re hanging upside down, you usually can’t unbuckle your belt. The button won’t depress when there’s pressure on the belt, unless it’s broken, or old.
This blade is 440 probably A. 440A stainless steel is super cheap, low carbon higher nickel content. It is commonly used in inexpensive knives because the blades can be stamped out of full sheets of metal and mass produced. Still not bad but, think of this type of knife as a disposable. Good for the toolbox as a prybar or to dig out gunk from crevices. A fine piece of cutlery, this is not. Think Harbor Freight giveaway quality.
1500 is the guesstimated total available, which means as of this post, there will be 74 (give or take) available when the sales resume for VMPs at 4:00pm EDT.
It lost a screw and I couldn’t find it it so I am screwed. It was a decent knife for the price until this happened. To be honest I go to knifes like most people go through Q-tips.

Camo! But if you drop it in the forest…you won’t be able to find it.
@eeterrific Ah, so that’s it… If you drop it in your car it’s easy to find!
@eeterrific Exactly. Real hunters don’t things like knifes and phone cases in camp. We save that for our mud flaps and bedroom slippers.

I need more kitchen knives rather than stab-you-in-the-woods knives right now.
@Tin_Foil Yeah, me too. Maybe a nice set of non-serrated steak knives (or even micro-serrated)
This is the first pocket knife that meh has sold that I didn’t Insta-buy.
Yeah … no.
/giphy killme Too much for something I’ll never use. I don’t think I could live with myself if I held camo in my hand.

I’m kind of surprised by how many good reviews this knife has. Do I need a car knife? I have so many knives.
@vanslaterco Shills. Fakespot gives this a D.
Don’t worry everybody, I guarantee this will work with Sprint, Verizon, and other carriers just as well as it does with AT&T
@Moose No matter which carrier’s offices you choose for your violent homicidal rampage, you can rest assured that this knife is compatible.
@Moose Curious why redactionbot redacted your ampersand in the meh-mail…
@brhfl somehow it looked like a knife to the robot. That’s why they fail at that google captionbot test
Shouldn’t they be using a Sharpie to make the knife black? What’s up with the spray paint? It’s so un-Meh.

I’m finally reaching the point of “peak pocket knife”…
Just checked: 5 alone on top of my fridge
It’s camo so if you drop it you won’t be able to find it…duh
Have this knife in blue with a serrated part by the handle. Can’t even cut gazpacho. Duller than a brick. Loses its usefulness faster than an ex-wife.
Not even worth the knife code for the Kershaw, which is a way better knife.
Why no pics of the holster?

Amazon.com has turned into a marketplace for vendors selling cheap Chinese products with great reviews from people that got them for free.
@craigthom it’s frustrating for true consumers. Of course, I typically don’t buy garbage knives on Amazon. There are plenty of those at the flea market for a lot less.
@craigthom @capguncowboy Fakespot.com has become my primary Amazon review site. Then I check camelcamelcamel.com for its pricing history. Then I check if I can get it somewhere else.
If I didn’t get it from that somewhere else, I had either (a) given into Amazon, or more likely, (b) given up the thought of buying it.
@capguncowboy so is this one of those “work from home, earn $$$” things?
how do I get things for free to test and review?

Why does it have a seatbelt cutter, isn’t it already a seatbelt cutter?
Camouflaged so you can lose it easier?
Come on Meh, you couldn’t have been an galaxy note 7. Or even 4, 5, 6.
Or like a Nexus tablet. Those are soo meh…
This is a swap meet knife that you buy out of a bucket.
You could probably also find them at truck stops.
WTF meh
@spacezorro yes, garbage knife
Thats messed up. You spray painted it black, and now Its no longer camouflage and i can see it.
@Drunkenalien WTF! can’t see it maybe…?
@chienfou the joke is that it was invisible before because it’s camouflage and that painting it black made it visible.

@gak0090 the seatbelt cutter on knives is so you don’t accidentally stab yourself while trying to cut through the seatbelt. Nylon is tough. I’m not arguing about the actual quality of this knife, it still could be dull as hell.
@gak0090 Think of it like a toilet with built in urinal - Is it necessary, no. But is it handy, sure (if you have bad aim).
@RiotDemon I would be cutting away from me, if I still managed to stab myself- then the world would be a better place with one less idiot
@RiotDemon I would probably just unbuckle my seatbelt. I bet it’d be faster than reaching for a tool and then hoping it works
@gak0090 point missed gak… When you’re already hanging upside down or mashed against the air safety bags as the water rushes in or the smell of gas and impending (your) wienie roast looms large, you might not be ABLE to unfold a knife to cut away a jammed buckle but a quick yank of a impeded razor across the belt? Yeah, you’ll have enuf adrenaline for that. Or not… But for $8 it’s cheap insurance. Clip it to your seat belt harness, btw. You don’t want this tool flying around the car post crash or buried in a storage panel or glove box. Keep it where you can reach it.
@capguncowboy if you’re hanging upside down, you usually can’t unbuckle your belt. The button won’t depress when there’s pressure on the belt, unless it’s broken, or old.
This blade is 440 probably A. 440A stainless steel is super cheap, low carbon higher nickel content.

“…none which explains why it’s camo.”
The lack of “of” is making my eye twitch, much like the camo.
So you guys went through your junk drawer and then forgot you’re supposed to have low prices?
Camo the killer sardine says “Hope you’re in the passenger seat with that jammed seatbelt when you reach for the glove compartment.”
@meshpuka774 s’y a smart guy is gonna clip to the driver’s set belt harness. #justsaying
Im always loosing my knife. I figured 2 in camo should do the trick

whew so I needed to say that on it’s own line? or did I just play camouflage roulette and win?
@snapster Well if it did you through, you know who to blame …
@narfcake heh right. nope that was it (forgot the mehdown command rules) It sort of looks like it’s on it’s own line but it’s not officially.
