      Spending $170 on a plastic knife that FLEXES in your hand, and justifying that by saying "Benchmade designed it to be lightweight" - just shows you the power of social media marketing, and the low IQ of people that fall for it. I seriously hate how EVERYTHING on YT is just commercials from a bunch of people willing to trade their dignity for a few $ to say "everything is great, you should buy all of it".

      @@kctyphoon especially since all of their knives have gone up in price by $100 in the last 3 years. That's why I've sold the few Benchmades that I had except my 530 and 531 that I bought on eBay all rusted out and cleaned it and replaced the springs and it was good as new. It's really difficult to justify Benchmade, Spyderco and ZT knives where prices keep going up. I at least appreciate Spyderco and their use of seemingly every high end steel.

      @@kctyphoon I don’t really care about the expensive knifes and tools and their users. I have the desire for premium, BUT:
      I like to buy good value tools instead. In central europe a Leatherman Arc or Benchmade 940 is 200% more expensive, already inflated US prices opt them out for almost everybody. This middle segment like Ganzo and in house brands with more premium steels are the gem, but its hard to find them, because the average Joe buys all the cheap disposable crap and there is no need to introduce D2 for example. I’m fascinated with the selection over there. We only have Lidl Parkside to mention here as an example, but they are started to push the margins as well.

      A lot of times Wal-mart orders are actually routed through third parties like door dash, postmates, etc, which is why they arrive like that; it's just a shopping service gig worker going to the store and buying it. FYI, often times the shopper both has no way of knowing it's an online wal-mart order, which usually means ZERO TIP . They just see it as a customer popping up and they are pressured to accept the job because of the the way those services work (ie if they decline they loose priority and could get less jobs, or even be removed as a shopper). Tips are a big part of those services, they aren't getting paid like an actual delivery driver. It's pretty unethical from the retailers that ship like this, so just something to be aware of the next time you choose to order from them or not.

    Saw your vid at work, stopped on the way home to grab one for myself and one for each of the homies. It hadn't been put in the case yet, but the website said it was in stock and I got a cool employee who was willing to check the boxes that hadn't been stocked yet. All of the ones I got are super sharp, and no QC issues. Thanks for the shout!
    EDIT: One of the knives has the rear scale with the pocket clip in a different color than the rest of the scales, after seeing another comment I would describe it as the "burnt orange" while the rest are a "safety orange" like on the website/pictures. The one with the off-color scale seems to be just a tiny bit sharper than the rest, and is recognizable, so I'll be keeping that one in particular.

    @theartofprepping 2 месяца назад +12

    Got mine about a week ago the day they first dropped. Mine is perfect, hair splitting sharp, perfect grind, blade coating is even, ball bearing pivot is completely drop shut friendly - no resistance....
    Pocket clip is perfectly oriented, crossbar lock has no discernable play, colorway is more like a burnt orange and not a safety orange as listed on the site. Has full steel liners with relief holes to lighten knife, much more rigid than the Benchmade Bugout - that to me is a big plus. Total weight is about 2.5 ounces (best guess). Feels great in hand, nice balance. Best $10 for a knife in 2024 yet far. Three things could be improved:
    #1 jimping - could have deeper and sharper jimping for better traction
    #2 plastic scale texture - a more aggressive scale texturing would enhance the feel and controllability in use and give a more premium feel.
    #3 D2 is a high value steel at this price point but if they could pull this off in 14C28N it would be a real game changer!
    In my opinion I like this Ozark Trail better than the Bugout for value and feel, its more rigid handle is very nice and inspires confidence. Best $10 that I have ever spent on a pocket knife. Hope they come out with different styles, sizes and colorways. Thanks!

      I can 100% assure you it's not gonna perform like a 200 dollar knife. For 10 bucks its a great deal but don't let that screw your thoughts. It's still a 10 dollar knife that's on shady looking bearings and there is plenty of flex in it and blade blade side to side and it's lock tited so hard that even a sliding iron filament couldn't get the screw to break loose to adjust the pivot to stop some of the side to side play. There is no up and down play so they did that great but both of them I bought have notable side to side movement. Like I said it's a steal for 10 dollars but it won't compete in any way with a 200 dollar knife. Even something like the average heat treat s35vn out of China will drastically out cut it.

      I don't know if I would call magnacut "the best steel in the world right now" it's a good steel but that's about the end of it. It's like s35vn and 14c had a baby. Nothing special just a lot of hype to sell a bunch of knives at higher prices because it's the buzz word right now.... Magnacut is literally cheaper at most barons than s35vn is yet when they drop a knife in MC that was originally in s35vn and charge 50 to 100 more for a steel that the raw material is cheaper and the machining/grinding is cheaper... That's a problem! I can think of a great many steels right now that I would put atop MC in fact Magnacut isn't even in my top 10.

      @@EDCandLace A similar thing happened in the flashlight community earlier this year when a couple people made viral posts about the $2 Ozark Trail flashlight. Lo and behold, no one cares about those lights anymore once the flaws had time to show themselves. People tend to not scale price:performance ratios very well in their minds. People see a $10 knife performing like a $25-30 knife and think they’ve found a market-killer, when in fact it’s still just a cheap knife and they’ve got blinders on to its flaws because they’re so amazed by it.
      Walmart isn’t putting this out for $10 out of the kindness of their heart. They charge what it’s worth minus a couple bucks because of the type of volume Walmart can move to make up for it. That’s Walmart’s entire business strategy. Not that it’s a bad thing, it’s actually a mutually beneficial thing for consumers in a lot of cases. People just need to realize they’re not selling gems for pennies. Anyone amazed by this probably had a flawed view of knife quality to begin with. I say all this with the understanding that this knife is in fact fine for the vast majority of people. It just doesn’t have the refinement that people will be looking for and I say that as someone who owned multiple Ozark trail knives and just replaced them every year when they broke before getting into the knife hobby.

So far I love it, and now this makes 4 different Ozark trail knives with slide locks. When I ordered mines it said that it was the only one left, hopefully there will be more available so I can buy two or three more.

    Journeyman Toolmaker here. In my experience, China's metallurgy is not the same as USA's, or the rest of the world's, metallurgy. For example, Chinese 4130 Chrome Moly steel will not have the same composition when made in China as it is when made here to ASM standards. On top of that, a lot (not all) of Chinese products like to make claims that are either not completely true, or not true at all. It is for these reasons that I doubt the blade will be as good as expected for a D2 blade. As you mentioned, heat treating is critical, both with the initial treatment and the draw back. I would have liked to have seen a file taken to the blade. A file tells you a lot about the hardness of metal. I would not expect the file to glance off the blade without being able to mar the steel in any way. That would mean the steel is too hard and brittle. However, it should offer some serious resistance to being scratched by the file while only suffering a little damage. That would be optimal for a D2 knife blade.

    As you shown, with a little tweek out of the package this is good to go for worry free EDC.
    Let's face the facts, how many of us EDC a $300 knife just to open packages?
    Being a "knife nut"... Where are my high dollar knives, locked up or on display still shinny and new. Where are my low cost every day use knives... in my pocket, go bag, get home bag, gym bag, each vehicle console, tool boxes, kitchen junk drawer... etc
    I'd rather have several decent quality budget friendly knives for EDC, that I won't be upset if mared, dropped, dust grit filled, misplaced or "help us all" if occasionally lost. I believe this knife will fill that need.

    These $10 WM knife reviews are all over YT. Since this is the video that first convinced me to buy one, I'm posting this mini review here. Mine was delivered 4 days late. I should have gone to WM myself, but I have free shipping with WM+. Mine arrived looking good. Both scales are the bright orange instead of the off color some are reporting. I'm not a knife guy, nor a knife expert. This is my first axis lock knife. The blade arrived sharp and the centering was slightly off. Easily corrected by applying pressure to both ends in the direction the blade tip is closest to. Pressure like a banana. I immediately took this thing apart to see how it works. Some reports are very difficult to remove the screws. Mine were almost loose. I took it completely apart, cleaned and re-oiled the bearings. Put it together with slight difficulty as it was my first. Note that the metal frame is very soft and easily bent. That's the centering issue. All in all, this is a great knife especially for under $10! THANKS for this video informing me of this knife opportunity!!

    ==> Update: I still like the knife and think it was a very good value at $10. It's a shame that they're out of stock at Walmart. I've seen them going on eBay for $30 and that's too bad. There are plenty of good knives for that price or lower on Amazon.

It's very difficult to change the color of a stainless pocket clip so its so great to have this one already in black.

    @flatasacueball6326 2 месяца назад

    I got one. They're very nice for a $10 knife. With a little pivot adjustment, oil, and a cusrom edge, it feels like more like a $30 or $40 knife. The blade stock is a bit narrow, but wide enough. The D2 is very strong and takes/holds a really nice edge. The action is incredible, with perfect centering, and reliable, solid lock-up. The orange color was ugly (to me) but the polypropylene scales will readily take Rit Dye-More synthetic dye without the use of solvents. I used a hot dye bath of just Rit Dye-More Charcoal and a little dishsoap, and it came out jet-black after abput 10-15 minutes. Looks like it was made with black plastic.
    The only real problem with it is that it came with some of the scews threadlocked in place, so taking it apart for repair/maintenance would've been a problem. I couldn't let that rest though, so with some work and some carefully applied acetone, I was able to get all the screws out and back in without destroying anything, but I really wouldn't recommend trying it unless you have to. All that really is to say: Beware, if (when) an omega spring breaks you may have a real hard time fixing it, other than that, it's a great knife.
    If it had frn scales, reversible clip, and all removable screws it would easily be worth $30.
