So I bought a cheap survival knife ( yes I know , I know ) because I wanted one like I had as a teenager, well there was no reference for size in the pictures and for $9.99 + shipping this is what I got.

It looked just like the one I had as a teenager and I didn't even think they came in other sizes so I didn't pay attention to any sort of specs.

I guess this is my fault so I can't return it, and I learned a valuable lesson.
All is not lost though because this probably isn't much less of a knife than the cheapo survival knife would've been.
 
That’s pretty funny. I mean funny at ten bucks... it if it was much more expensive, I’d be pissed!

Cool little knife though.

P.s. were you a REALLY small teenager? :p
 
Nice !
I wonder what you would get if you soaked it in gasoline.

The song lyrics came to mind; Jason Isbell
I needed that damn woman like a dream needs gasoline.
I tried to be some ancient kind of man,
one that's never seen the beauty in the world,
but I tried to chase it down... tried to make the whole thing mine.
Somebody take me home through those Alabama pines.

The instructions also said not to feed it after 12:00, it didn't specify AM or PM.
I assumed AM and was wrong, it's 1:05pm here and this just happened.

Partly due to Amanda Shires on fiddle !
She seems like a great person all around and helped to pull him out of his alcohol thing. Keep it up Mr. Isbell.
I tip my hat to Amanda. And to the 400 Unit.
 
Okay, I'm not sure if this is an April fools joke but I love the baby survival knife. Lol, its a somewhat awesome mistake. Very funny. I would love to have one.

If you went through the whole thing you'd see it was in fact an April fools.
I found them in a box and couldn't resist.
got the set of the two of them as a kid, they came in a cheap little vinyl key chain sheath which held both.

This is sort of like this clip I saw where a black woman ordered what she thought was a fashionable cheap chair. When she got it the chair was sized for a barbie doll.

This reminds me of soemsomet as well.
Last year my brother told me he ordered me a drone which wouldn't arrive till after Christmas as it was coming directly from China.
Well it arrived and as it turns out it was just a drone battery.
I guess there was a drone in the picture to show what it was for, and not reading the description he thought it was a drone itself.
Not sure what made him think he could get a drone for $1 with free shipping, but it's probably because stuff direct from China is always so cheap and he didn't question it.
I was going to tell him to give it to me so I could frame it, but I guess he didn't want his faux pa to be remembered forever so he just " disposed of the evidence ":D
 
That is, in fact, the same size as the knife you had when you were younger. It just SEEMED bigger back then lol!

Well actually it is the very knife, both of them are.
I actually never had a full sized knife that looked like this, I actually learned how much they suck before I had the chance to waste $15.
