If Knife Brands Were Cars

so Suzuki sells the most cars in the world and Yugo is loved and good quality

You say you're new to the knife world but have made this many confidently-worded comparisons (most of which I'd disagree with) suggesting a vast knowledge of pocket knife brands?

What a strange post!

Opinel = Citroen (snoozers)

Peugeot 601 Eclipse - peasant knives being the first folder style ever invented.

Mora = Yugo (cheap, cheap, cheap)

The Volkswagen Beetle - reasonable quality made affordable to the masses.

Victorinox = Suzuki (ho hum and uninspiring)

Willys Jeep - Jack of all trades, Spartan and practical. Typifies the multi tool.

I know this isn’t meant to be taken seriously, but if there was a hall of fame for knives, these three would unequivocally have dedicated space. To gloss over these and write them off as hum-drum demonstrates a lack of appreciation.

My carry knives are often at least one of not two of these options every day. Microtech and whatever else might be fancier, but they are mere infants compared to the longevity of these three famous brands.

Very odd post indeed.

 

[EngrSorenson]

By the way, for anyone curious.
Mora: since 1891
Victorinox: since 1891
Opinel: since 1890

You don’t make it 130 years in business without have something to offer.

Kershaw = Honda
Benchmade = Subaru

I think knives and cars are too different to make halfway decent comparisons, and the stereotypes in each hobby don't correlate at all. A lot of the critiques about car brands have to do with reliability, which isn't really an issue with knives. And what would be considered a "soccer mom knife?" Or a "mall ninja car?"

You'd have better luck coming up with watch brands that have similarities to knife brands.

Opinel - Citroen: swells and rusts in rain, get clonky and doesn't work in cold, rusts in seconds, metal parts fly out of it if you put it to work and steel bends like sheet metal.

Okay I get my coat.

Did you and your friend make this list in your mom's basement or his? Enquiring minds want to know.

Well yeah, most of the brand descriptors are negative. It could be done mentioning mostly positive attributes of said brands.

So you like "Shiragorov" knives and Eyetalian cars ? Just remember: FIAT = Fix It Again Tony.

OP knows nothing about knives or cars. This is cringy.

I guess Blues sleeps in on Thursday

 

[Cementite]

cringy.

Word.

But maybe mildly entertaining to someone who laughs at his own jokes ... assuming the OP is 15...?
