I am no mall ninja. I use blades and am a busse nut(mostly scrap yard). I was wondering why Dark Ops is the company that people poke fun at around here. They're disign's are far fetched but has any of you tryied them and seen if they work. I was just wondering if there was a reason, I would never buy something so silly anyways.

Ridiculous advertising is why I'll never own one.

From a more technical review standpoint, you might be able to find the past topic with photos showing very poor fitting of locking mechanism.
 
All I can say is that every time I read this: "The choil-notch doubles as both a bottle opener and peacemaker-its’ deployment and use is a great bar fight deterrent in exotic third world locales.", I laugh my butt off.:D

LMAO, ok:D :D :D :D
thats so stupid
 
Not much patience there. Many are prolly passing the thread over because there have been many like it, obviously you've seen some as you know the "Dork Ops" reference.

Ridiculous mall-ninja ad copy, and fugly designs which many say are ripped off from another, respected, company (Extrema Ratio) are two reasons people hate on them. Another is that evidently they have web pages etc but no way to actually BUY any knives. No doubt given their notoriety someone would have sprung for one of their "covert mission deanimation tools" by now to see if it was as bad as everyone says by this point if it were possible.

If they are for sale now, take the plunge, pick one up, see if it's any good. You could be the one to prove everyone wrong, you never know.
 
Might having something to do with the whole rip off of Extrema ratio and/or the whole line of knives supposedly being stolen on their way to a knife show...
 
ONE of their knives looks HALF decent but I'd just get an ER if I wanted that. Basically they did everything WAY too much. Too many features, too much marketing, too much "Al Qaeda deanimation." I think most people have no problem if you say "can be used as SD blade" but when you go on about "fuel and body fluids" (I think that's the quote) eyes start to roll.
 
I agree, there are a lot of products that have advertising so annoying and/or outlandish that even if I think the product is interesting, I refuse to buy it.

For example:

Their products are not practical and feel like crap in the hand IMHO. It's like owning a SAK with a SKUD warhead and bunny slippers on it. Sure it may look funny but..... well hell yeah it definitely is funny. Go ahead and laugh son. It ain't gonna hurt you!:D Their knives are more dangerous for the users than the intended target. You'd do more damage if you just fed it to someone than if you used it for defense purposes.
 
They Stole designs from ER and smeared excrement all over them. . . then opened their mouths and spewed out a heaping load of ridiculous mall ninja hype.
 
Reason 1:

Reason 2 unnecessary :p
 
macgregor22: Even if they were not silly the whole rip-off thing gets in my way. And I really do not know how they hold up. Perhaps we need to get one over to Noss4 at knifetests. ;)
 
naw, what is was alluding to was after months and months of delays in seeing anything real come out of DO there was supposed to be a revealed at a knife show, but nothing showed, supposedly knives were lost, delayed or stolen.

Then there where the guys tha order DO knives and got ER knives.

Then there was the guy that got a hand picked DO knife with awful lockup.

And there was the alledged $40K Frank owed ER.

lot's to love in all that.
