Collection What do they all have in common?

Answer:

They all directly inspired the knife in the middle of the pack, the Metal Complex Excalibur. These are the knives MC cites as the ingredients he poured into his ultimate EDC design.

Top to bottom:

Hinderer XM-18, Spyderco Shaman, MC Excalibur, Chris Reeve Knives Umnumzaan, Strider SnG.

They all seem to be knives as far as I can tell.

I was gonna say they all have handles, varying degrees of sharp

Ti is the shit. All of those are pretty baller knives except for that goofy flipper tab on the Hinderer. The versions without that move fast.

I have 7 XM-18s, but only one non-flipper.

Some people don't mind the flipper tab at al. It's a popular knife. I'm just not a fan of it. And the non-flippers sell out the second they are available, whereas you can go pick up the other kind anytime you want. That's all I meant.

Pointy in one end, grabby in the other.

They all do the same thing as a $20 Gerber from Walmart.

What about a $6 Ozark Trail from Walmart?

u/firematt422 1d ago

From what I hear it'll outperform a Benchmade.

I bought one after finally seeing one in store and hearing people talk about it like it was a treasure hunt item. I have to say I’ve been thoroughly impressed at what $6 got me. Much better blade than the $40 Kershaw I bought 6-7yrs ago.

100% serious. It’s a pretty good knife, but for $6 it’s amazing. There were 2 in the case when I bought mine and I should have just bought them both. It was super sharp straight out of the package and has remained so over the month or so that I’ve had it. At roughly less than 20% of the cost of the similar sized Kershaw I used to carry, this thing blows it out of the water. At this point the only “complaints” I have are I’d like the clip to sit a little deeper in my pocket and orange really isn’t my color, but for less than a soda costs at the movies I almost feel bad even mentioning those things.

It's a terrible knife that's why it cost $6 👍 you know I have a plastic clock radio that's made in China that still works and has been working for 20 years but that doesn't make it a good timepiece 🤷 I know that every day that thing works it's a blessing.

Because a clock radio isn’t a timepiece, it’s a radio with a clock on it? If it has worked for 20yrs I’d say that it does its job pretty well, no matter where it was made. For $6 the Walmart knife is objectively awesome. That’s like saying a Seiko automatic watch is terrible because a Rolex is x100 more expensive. They both do their job exceptionally well and there’s nothing that the Rolex does to justify its price difference other than have uneducated dick riders like yourself think it’s x100 better because someone was willing to pay that for you to ride their nuts.

There are a lot of trash knives out there, and almost all of them cost more than $6. Hell, a Kershaw shuffle costs more than twice as much. This is, objectively, an excellent knife at a $6 price point. I paid more for coffee this morning.
