Could this be the worst dumbest knife ever ?

I think it's a strong contender, who wants a " knife " that's just barely enough to open a package and really not a knife at all ?
What's with a these idiots trying to invent alternatives to just carrying an actual knife ?
There's tons of videos for crap like this on YouTube, loads of small keychain tools that they appear to intend as an alternative to actual knife carry.
I don't know about you but while my needs don't require much blade a 1/2" long little sharp-ish cutting surface is definitely not enough for me.
 
its a micro concealed thingy.
which in some circumstances,
could turn out to be more trouble
for its owner than its supposed worth....

I'm sure It could be considered a concealed weapon in some places, and might ve illegal in California if they consider it " disguised " ( if they're still using that wording with regards to lipstick knives and such ).

No It's not really a knife but it is intended to be one though.

I could affectively make this in 2 minutes out of a # 1/4 driver bit.[/QUOTE]

So it's basically a steel version of a wood burning tool tip with a less effective handle. Pretty limited functionality for sure. I do agree with some of the others here in that it's not the worst or dumbest knife ever, but it does strike me as pretty darn niche and probably costs way more than it's functionally worth.

Okay, there's one thing I just thought of that I like about it.

Gotta give them props for not finding some way to incorporate a bottle opener into it.

I dunno 'bout that. The beverage access tool makes it easy to believe that you are way better at using all the other tools.

That's it, a pyrography tip with a more acute edge.

Worst dumbest may have been a bit overkill as now I'm kind of starting to think it's cool, not going to but one but it is only about $25 or something.
Personally my biggest issue with it is that its just a super thick sort of sharp edge that will get you through a box in a pinch, like you're better off opening a pair of scissors like a lot of non knife people seem to do.

I was distracted by the shiny, too. You're on to something with the scissors, though. You can carry a pair of EMT shears into probably just about anywhere, and nobody will blink. Can't think of much in the first world that the scissors can't do as well as the knife can, either. They're ten dollars for a three pack, so it's far less less painful if somebody does decide to borrow without intention to return (not as cool as the pill cutter).
 
I’d love to see you make one with the pill top & carabiner Clip.. Sell’em for $20 and you’ll corner the market..[/QUOTE]
No I can't make the entire thing, just the blade itself.

Scissors are not as good as a knife, but it is often the go-to for non knife people and I do believe they're probably better than this.
I don't do the whole open scissors thing and wouldn't carry something like this. ( I've entertained the idea of such micro keychain " box openers" but it never worked for me )

Hickory, a scissor is nothing more or less that two chisel ground knives, facing each other.
