Just looks like a knife to me. So at least in this context, I agree with you.

Gimmicky knives in general are garbage. In fact, as a good rule of thumb, almost any knife that normally sells for under 75 dollars is mediocre at best, and totally shoddy and a hazard to your fingers at worst

This is the CRKT Sting.

I've used mine to cut open cans of food and ammo tins, and the blade has yet to show any damage for it. On top of it, I've never cut myself on it.

It's $60.

ckrt is a phenominal knife company, and is the exception to the rule of ALMOST every knife under 75. I have a kershaw blur for edc, a SOG seal pup for being in the woods n shit, and a benchmade presidio auto for defense when I don't have my gun on me

So why tell the good plebs to purchase based on price alone?

I'm talking mainly about folders. Most quality folders are very expensive. And don't get me started on autos. You can get a lot of good quality fixed blade knives at around 50 bucks.

Alright then, proper point made.

Folding knives under 50 that are good quality though:
SOG Flash 2
Buck 110
Kershaw Scallion, Leek, Chive, Cryo, Skyline
These are just ones that I have personally used, you have to go by company, not price

I almost lost my thumb to a shitty auto my friend had. I think my exact words were "Dude, you're gonna lose a finger with this piece of shit." Then boom, fuckin blade blew through the side of my thumb without me even pushing the release

Allow me to shed some light:

It's purported to be a "Hostile Environment Survival Tool", thus the name. While the maker slaps the word "titanium" all over it, only part of the frame-work is actual titanium, and the blade is merely coated in it.

It has a "glass breaker" in the handle, which can be switched out with a set of screwdriver bits, and neither is actually all that useful because they're tiny as fuck.

Also, any blade that folds is a terrible thing to have your life depend on. Hinges are fragile.

0/10, would not operate with.

Hahaha, oh wow

Exactly.

Now, the Swiss blade at the bottom?

Do want, very badly.

>"Hinges are fragile"
>"I want that thing with many hinges!"

Confirmed for not knowing shit about knives

It's the context of their existance, shitdick.

The Swiss knife is sold as a multi-tool, which it does quite well. The HEST is sold as a survival knife, which it does NOT do well.

Learn to understand knives before you go saying I don't.

Bend over, please.

*sighs*

Fine.

You have summoned Gotham's Wreckoning. What the fuck do you want?

I'm trying to explain to this young gentleman that there's a difference between a survival knife and a multi-tool.

Something he can't seem to grasp.

I'm sorry you got caught up in this.

It's fine.

Survival blades are blades that fucking hurt when you get cut.

Multi-tools have more than one blade attached

You're welcome.

Thumbing me down cuz you don't know shit about knives? I know that knife is shit, but it's not because it has a hinge. Almost every quality folder is worth using in a life or death situation. By your own logic, using a folder makes it weak, and not worth putting your life on, which is exactly what you'd be doing with that multi-tool, fuckwit.

You use a multi-tool as a tool, not something to hang your life in the balance with.

Fucking hell. You're hopeless.

So tools are for what now? You're gonna use that saw and everything else on an everyday basis? No? That's right, because if you DID use any of those tools regularly you'd have full-sized tools, not some tool thats supposed to be used in an emergency, and compromises the quality of every tool in order to have more of them.

If you're trying to use a multi-tool for heavy work, you've already fucked up.

They're for convenience. You carry them in case you require one of their compact, but accessible, features.

Ipso-facto, NOT while being innawoods.

That's what a proper, heavy survival knife is for.

A shitty one at that. Avoid gimmicky knives at all times

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say you just didn't know. Many countries and certain institutions (like the military) use a 24 hour clock, which starts at 0 o'clock (midnight) and goes all the way to 23:59 at night.

like this 11:48

That is a very good question

I'd seriously love to have on of these...

I wish the guy who made these would make more
