United Cutlery - Italy - O. J. Simpson - Guilty Or Innocent?

Post by New_Windsor_NY »

This novelty pocket knife arrived very recently in a large group of pocket knives that I purchased. Believe me, I did NOT buy the group to obtain this particular pocket knife. It is a United, single blade, two tang stamps, a blade etch, 3 1/2" closed, pocket knife. The front tang stamp reads "United - ROSTFREI." The back tang stamp reads "UC771 - ITALY." The blade etch reads "MURDER X 2 = O. J. - Guilty or Innocent?" and it has an image of O. J. holding a handgun to his head.
It is in NEAR MINT condition. It did NOT require any cleaning at all. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Never thought I would see a double murder and a murderer used as bait or promotion to sell a knife. Think we've reached a new low in the knife world for lack of decency and crumbling civilization. As to the question of guilt or innocence, well O. J. answered that himself when he said he would tirelessly hunt down the real killer, then never hunted anyone down because he already knew who the real killer was and of course wouldn't hunt down himself. Then he published a book about "if I did it" sort of confession disguised as a hypothetical who dun it? You can find it on youtube and if you check it out you will see Simpson crassly say he didn't do it with his mouth while his body language said he did, very much like Prince Phillip, who denied abusing the underaged girls, but whose body language says he did. A guy who did the interview and basically convicted himself since a couple of years later he settled with the victims for undisclosed millions. Innocent people don't settle with the victims for millions. And innocent people don't say hypothetically that if I did it here's what I would have done. Very sad and very disturbing state of affairs IMHO.

Didn't notice that Marco, don't usually look for those kinds of things. Good observation, although responding to you just ended that number anyway. Thanks for cluing me up.

I've seen a bunch of different OJ novelty knives but never seen the United Cutlery Italy one with OJ holding a gun to his head, interesting variation--even has orange handles representing 'the Juice'. "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit!"

The pocket knife pictured below is the only other O. J. Simpson
pocket knife that I've seen. But then again, I'm NOT searching for them.
The pocket knife pictured is NOT mine. The picture is NOT mine.
