Why would anyone ever buy that when they can just pay 2.99 for a switchblade comb in any novelty shop , they also make mini switchblade mustache combs.

If you have a $2.99 novelty comb, people will look at the handle and assume it's a piece of junk, there's no surprise.
Whereas with that thing above, people will look at the handle and assume you have a nice Microtech, but joke's on them, it's actually a piece of junk.
Where's the upvote button? Rep button? I feel like you deserve some variety of points for this.

Probably doesn't qualify as tacticlol, but I do think it scores some points in the ridiculous category..
Came across this while searching for knives with bone scales:

According to Levine's Guide to Knives and Their Values (4th Edition); a "figural knife" is a knife shaped like something else, like a gun, shoe, cartoon character, or- yes- a leg. The oldest representation of a figural knife, dating back 1800 years- not to the 1800s, but to the ~200s- is the leg knife. While not my taste, with the addition of a shoe that doubles as a cap lifter, the leg knife is more practical than 95% of what is in the pockets of the average BF contributor. And, they have a long and well established history- much more so than any liner lock folder.
I'll admit to having a soft spot for the leg knives, both the one pictured and the old Nehi Soda ones as well.
I will post something along the same lines though; the Rough Rider Zombie Nick line. For all the people who wanted to use a slipjoint to fight the zombie apocalypse comes the zombie green handled, black coated blades and blood spattered boxes of otherwise traditional styled knives.

I know they're not as bad as some of the items posted but they have kept me alternating in scratching my head and wanting to buy one.![]()
^ I kind of like that little 2 bladed one above. I wish it didn't have the words on the blades though.
Ok my contribution is speed holes.
Why are they there? If I sharpen it will they get larger and get caught up on even more crap that I'm trying to cut? Seems like a bad idea.

I've been in the combat arms for almost 17 years with 8 of that in sof, and no self respecting operator would ever carry anything with the acronym "WOG" in the name... where I come from, "WOGs" are the people that never leave the wire and are referred to as WOGs because they work with out guns... nice research specwog ninjas.
