    You know it’s a real combat knife because it has a bottle opener built in. I’m maybe even kidding.

      Isn’t that a belt cutter? (hook knife)

      You can also see the glass breaker, it’s very common for these knifes to have a belt cutter and a glass breaker

        Dual purpose. Actually I tried to look up what they list it as and all I came away with is the perfect discovery of it’s pricepoint:

        “20% off”

        Exactly what it looks like, yeah.

        Which, as far as I’ve ever heard it, would make it a “folding utility knife”. I’ve also never seen a combat knife without a fixed blade, because… “Hold on let me just unfold my pocket knife so I can combat you!”

        Any folding knife, again, as far as I’ve ever seen, would be more likely to be called a tactical knife. Which is just another word for utility folder IMO.

            Eh, depends. I used to carry a similar knife when I was a vol FF, because seat belt cutter + glass break is handy, and the blade worked better for clothing caught in something than the belt cutter (belt cutter works best when its taut and flat, since its basically a coupon cutter).

            Worked just great for the intended purpose. What its not, however, is more than just a utility folder.
