I shit my pants once, no one posted about it which is kinda weird because I stayed at work the whole 12 hours and I shat them the first 25 mins I was at work.
Say what you will about the Ozark Trail, but I did my Cardboard Slayer live stream and it took 7 hours of nonstop cutting to wear the edge out. D2 lasts 4 hours about like clockwork when I do this. On a mirrored 17° edge it took 8 hours to wear out JUST enough to call it. One of my guys Arkansas EDC batoned one into the side of a chunk of hickory and the lock stood up to it, he snapped it to check the grain out and that grain was the perfect color, he said it was a very fine powdery grain.
$220 for a piece of junk plastic Bugout? Benchmade is getting nutz. They need a reality check and would sell more if they would charge fairly. Keep it!
German here. Böker had to postpone their summer festival due to the events in Solingen. All had been prepared but then it didn’t seem appropriate any more. Tragic, everything about it.
I lived in Hesse for 12 years. Loved living in Germany, but that was *before* Merkel ruined the entire country. As for knife prices, well it depends on what you want it to do. For EDC when all I do is open boxes? $10 D2 is fine. For wandering into the woods? Oh hell no. a Demko Freereign & Boker Soligen as my mains with a custom Buck 110 as a backup - all of them in Magnacut. Magnacut is what I prefer.
I've been away from the RUclips knife community for a while... particularly since you two left Blade HQ... Now I'm back and I just so happened to stumble across this video!! Seeing you two back together makes a grown man smile!! Also, without hesitation I just bought the Lander 1 to support you guys!! God bless!! 👍🏻
So some people have done cut tests with it and it held an edge longer than other known D2 knives. 🤷🏻♂️. I bought five of them just to see and they all feel exactly the same so the QC isn't bad. The pivot is a really small diameter. The bearings are cheap but they work. It appears to have a black oxide coating and not just a paint coating. For me it's a knife to gift to people to introduce them into the knife world with something that will hold an edge longer.
@@sgsheff im starting to get annoyed :) ive been to my local walmart 5 times in the last 10 days since ive learned of this knife and ive never seen it and i dont see any empty hooks with a $9.97 price tag. I check the isles with flashlights/camping gear all the way up to the gun counter and no luck :( My local walmart is just under a mile away and am there regularly and never noticed it there before the viral hype videos either.
@@lt200420 Yeah it's annoying when everyone's like oh I need five of these right now... And you can't get one. Pro tip though, I noticed this at the Walmarts in my area. These knives aren't on a hook in an isle. You have to ask the person at the gun counter. They're keeping them under there (if they have them in stock). But I finally got one, it was the last they had and it was the display knife, but it wasn't even being displayed... Weird. It was just hidden under their locked counter. Good luck.
The Walmart "orange knife bad' tool is the best disposable knife ever made. It is not just a 'beater' knife, but it is the best tool for jobs where there is a high risk of losing or breaking the knife. Buy a dozen or buy a gross of these knives if you are a company that needs to supply a solid tool for their employees. Not everyone is buying a knife (or even an automobile) just as a status symbol.
Yeah, there are people who prefer to have that disposable option and there are others who strongly oppose the disposable nature of our current society.
Hi there! Thanks very much for showing my video at the end of this episode. Really appreciate that and it makes me happy that you like it. ❤ Thanks for all your commitment. I’m looking forward to meeting you next weekend in Hamburg at Maxi’s charity event. Carsten
I picked up four of those OTs. Three are still sitting in my knife drawer. One had a little stick in the lock but after playing with it for a while it worked itself out. I've been carrying one for a month and it does pretty damn good with what I have thrown at it so far. Still shaving sharp. Been cutting paper, cardboard, opening boxes, blister packages, heavy plastic bags with the twine reinforcement, string, small rope, cut up old t-shirts for rags, and sharpened a few pencils. I even cut through a soda can just to see how well it would do. It was like cutting butter in death valley in early August at high noon. I may have missed a few things it has been used on so far. For $10, it is a beast.
Ordered one of the last Lulus on the amazon store front and it just arrived in the mail yesterday! Imho it's well worth the money for the design and materials. Its quintessentially American and feels like a tool that your dad or grand pa woulda had in their kit. Y'all clearly put an insane amount of effort into the ergo!!!
I think the Ozark Grail is definitely the knife to beat at the bottom. It seems like it has relatively good QC for its price and it looks like it actually has D2 steel and holds an edge for a while after testing. Not too much to complain about for $10 and for something you can just walk into a store to buy. I feel like it is going to be a great starter knife for those who want a cheap, but good knife to use as a tool that they won't have to worry about much. It's definitely going to be my go-to recommendation for (non-knife) people who ask me for a budget and lightweight knife!
If you want to swap to left hand carry just swap the liners and drill two holes in the scales for the screws and maybe remove a little material for the clip to sit in. It worked great for me.
I just received my lander 1 in the mail from the knife day sale and it instantly became my daily carry knife! I couldn’t be happier! I’m am very impatiently waiting on my lander 4 to ship in January!
I appreciate that the Canadian distributors/stores pricing is literally the usd price converted to CAD. I hope the distributors will carry more spare parts and upgraded parts such as the unlocked composites scales and Lynch NW pocket clips for lander 2 and 3. If they aren't I will have to wait and bundle an order from Utah central.
Iv bought about 15 ozark tail knives already. Iv gone to all the Walmarts nearby, lol. I give them away after a day or 2 of carrying them. Every one I open I oil, tighten the screws and pivot to center the blade, and last I strop them. Makes it a $20 knife.
One of my oldest friends just gave me one of these Wal-Mart Holy Grail knives - & he knows my last 3 knives that I purchased were all in the $300 range - but I'm actually very impressed with it so far. I wish it wasn't hollow ground but that and the plastic handle scales are my only gripes. The Axis style lock is actually quite smooth. I'm liking it!!!
The 3d printed crock has some potential. Imagine scanning your foot and being able to 3d print a shoe that completely contours to your exact foot shape
Can't believe I haven't found your channel before now. I ran out and grabbed one of those Ozark trail knives. And then took it on a week-long campout. Got to say, I'm impressed. The lock is great. No wiggle on the blade. And I was tough on it. And throw shade on the plastic scales. But they were really comfortable.
Ozark Trail: EDC'd for a week now, and it is stellar. It is one of the smoothest actions of all my knives. I am truly blown away! I have no idea in terms of long-term use and hard use, but for daily BS use (cardboard, quick fixes), it is pretty great! Also, it is amazing that you can buy several and dye them to the color you want!
Thanks guys. Great video. I have 2 of these. Excellent cheap but also potentially long use knife. Perfect for agrabngo bags, truck glove box, and gifts too!!
One of the guys in our knife group did a 4 hour long livestream and throughout the stream, i guess he was cutting cardboard over and over and that ozark trail knife just kept cutting and cutting. With off and on cutting, it lasted the whole stream and kept going. He was extremely impressed, even speechless
The nice thing about the Ozark Trail knife is if I ever fly somewhere for a work trip or a weekend getaway I can just pop into any Walmart at my destination and have an OK knife and not worry about something nicer getting confiscated by TSA because I always forget to remove it from my pockets, lol
Counter argument for the cheap feel of the plastic, the FRN on the Bugout feels super cheap and flexes a lot too. While it might be a "better plastic", is it 100 dollars plus better? Be curious to see one opened up.
I tell you what.....even with all the hype I was still impressed with the knife! The action is perfect, steel seems to be heat treated fairly well, it don't feel like a cheap $10 knife, it came Sharpe and in 1min I was able to make it scary Sharpe, even wacking the spine of mine the lock held, shape is perfect for a ecd, etc. The hype it's real and will deff be looking to pick up a couple more just to have. as someone who uses, abuses, sharpens, breaks and or loses my knives..... This is perfect for me! Just need more for when I do run out of blade to sharpen, break it being dumb or loose it.
My Ozark hotness was carried for a bit but its become a bag knife. Doesnt hold edge super long but still for $10 is insnae. Its been swapped out for the Kershaw steepe
I own benchmade, QSP, and Civivi knives that I carry daily. I bought one of the Ozark trail knives BECAUSE it's cheap. I threw it in my glove box, and will likely buy another for a tackle box knife. I don't expect the quality or durability I get from more expensive knives, but if a Civivi breaks, I'm going to be far more upset than if my $10 DropOut does.
On the ozark trail, its amazing when it does work. Sometimes the lock bar gets stuck and the blade wont stay open or closed and it takes some playing with to free up the lock bar. Then it will be fine again for a while.
My heart just skipped a beat when you posted the comment by eriiktaylor about a budget Lulu in 14c28n. Please, please, please. It's not the budget part I'm overly concerned about. I'm a woodcarver (and bushcrater) and I prefer this steel for carving, especially in a scandi grind although a lower price would be nice. As a suggestion, you might also consider down the road, creating a scandi folder. I'm LOVING my Helle Raud M. And it looks nothing like a Walmart knife. ;)
Agree, would be very tempted to jump on a LuLu with 14c28n. I have been eyeing a Kizer Deckhand but I would hold off if I found out the LuLu had a budget option.
27:30 It's also a great way to make stunt or training versions of your knives, maybe print them in flexible TPU, paint it and it's perfect for stunt use in a movie or martial arts training.
If ozark trail can make that…it is a decent knife. I bought two. I want other companies to make a $25 knife with same materials but just better quality control and consistency. It will be a banger of a knife.
I know it’s not exactly the same, but the CJRB pyrite lite is a phenomenal $20-30 knife. Material-wise it’s about the same, obviously swapping D2 for ar-rpm9 and a wharnie/sheepsfoot blade shape rather than drop point, but the thing is amazing. It’s my go to beater knife and it has held up awesome over the past 6ish months
The only things standing between me and a Lulu are my wife and poverty! I think it's actually a fantastic deal on a very well made knife. Bark River would have marked it up an extra hundred. It's not cheap, but the value is super high and it's affordable as a literal pass-down-to-you-grandson level of quality heirloom knife.
Wait aren’t these the very original two blade hq guys? I remember being sad to see the guy on the right leave, and the guy on the left has such a completely different hairstyle I didn’t recognise him
Heat treat is a huge issue in the knife industry in my opinion. Very few brands seem to have steel that performs like it should. I can say the lander I have in D2 holds up well. But Spyderco kind of rocks it in that department all day.
You can dye the scales with Rit dye I 2 of them black and tried to dye one green but it came out brownish because you have to die. Something in the color spectrum decker then orange. But it still looks awesome. I do love this knife and I won’t have a heart attack if I break or lose it at work
Okay, I'll say it. Is the Ozark overly cheap? Or are we seeing there's a lot of over inflation in the knife world? I own a Bugout but there's just no justifying that $180 pricetag anymore.
Except for steel tariffs and Portland being a horrible place to manufacture competitively anymore, and the fact that benchmade doesn’t have a cheap Chinese line to fall back on for easy revenue. There are many factors that people, especially knife RUclipsrs, don’t understand or care to bring up if they do.
"Yeah, I lost my ___________knife while at work yesterday. " The degree of impact on your head and wallet will depend a lot on what's in the space. (Speaking from experience here)
I have been a big supporter of Knafs since day one love the product! Question; I would love to own a LULU but I don’t need a bulletproof steel that can withstand the jungle or the rust protection of working on a crab boat! I wonder if other people may feel the same way and want to support the LULU in a lesser steel? A kick starter campaign, perhaps or a just a poll to see how much interest there might be? Keep up the good work guys!
Bought it out of curiosity. Put a razor edge on it. It performs just like D2 should. The lock has held up to all normal use and hours of flipping. I don't mind the static appearance as it's a perfect Halloween carry. Cheers boys!
The future is to create a great blade steel, bearing for great opening, tier 3 steel (cheap) for body and locks, with cheap scales that can be swapped out for more premium scales later.
I've been looking for thumb studs for a knife i like, the ones Kizer sell are $15 and are made in China. I might buy one just for the thumb studs. I'd be really curious about the heat treat on those.
Would you guys consider selling different variations of contoured G10 or micarta scales on your site? I recently fell into a contoured G10 rabbit hole and I can't go back to flat peel ply! I'd love the trout scales in contoured G10 if you could find a way to print the design onto the curved surface!
Seeing Mora and Civivi in Wal-Mart now, as well as Ozark Trail knives that incorporate “enthusiast” knife features…it means we’re winning! Now if only Wal-Mart could sort out their knife counter so that you can actually buy the knife easily instead of wandering around the store trying to find someone to help you, and then being told that they have to escort you to the front with the knife so you can pay for it…then we’d really be getting somewhere 😂
What? You don’t like watching a guy dig through a cabinet for 15 minutes looking for an item their website says is in stock? Those are previous moments! Cherish them. 😉
Hello Y'all, naturally you know that the Saturn V is the biggest rocket ever sent into space!!! Hope all's well with everyone/thing! Keep up the good work and vids. Be safe and take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 😇🙏👊
feels like a paradigm shift in the knife business.....I also would expect to see some notable changes towards more premium mid range steels.... Really enjoyed the Taiwan segment! and was here to the end and the Lander video was interesting....
My goodness you're changing the knife game again with this show. Also, I need to know what Jaime thinks of the Lander 2. He loved the Benchmade Bugout for so long ,so I want to know his thoughts.
I’m not completely shocked by the ozark trail price. The Cjrb pyrite is commonly selling for $40 and they are outstanding. They feel good, the steel is pretty good. I’m not gonna say there is no place for more expensive knives. But there are really high value knives out there
I enjoyed that romp. Over the years I've bought a few Ozark Trail knives that were talked up a lot online, and wound up giving them away. I guess I'm just a knife snob. I do carry inexpensive knives at work, but nothing plastic.
I know this is a knife channel, but I can't stop noticing the Sinn U50. Super cool watch choice.
Hey that's my post! Thanks for the shoutout. The moon crew will have to start some keen eye training. Can't get anything past us! 👀

@@nickmartino2839 Hi! 👋
Thanks for featuring my grail t-shirt lol I'll try to get someone to make you one
I picked up four of those OTs. Three are still sitting in my knife drawer. One had a little stick in the lock but after playing with it for a while it worked itself out.
I've been carrying one for a month and it does pretty damn good with what I have thrown at it so far. Still shaving sharp.
Been cutting paper, cardboard, opening boxes, blister packages, heavy plastic bags with the twine reinforcement, string, small rope, cut up old t-shirts for rags, and sharpened a few pencils.
I even cut through a soda can just to see how well it would do.
It was like cutting butter in death valley in early August at high noon.
I may have missed a few things it has been used on so far.
For $10, it is a beast.
literally woke up at 3 am to place a walmart order since they was out of stock
Ordered one of the last Lulus on the amazon store front and it just arrived in the mail yesterday! Imho it's well worth the money for the design and materials.

Get it. Its awesome
These episodes keep getting better & better. My favorite series.
CJRB Pyrite light at $30 is pretty impressive
We just got one for the office. Pretty nice.
D2 is better
I've been very pleased with mine
I am so happy I found your guys channel and chats. You two are absolutely awesome. I can’t wait to pick up a Knafs knife!!
Very cool to see you guys enjoyed the Tech Deck scales! Thanks for the shoutout too!

Snapped the tip off mine pretty quickly. Ground it down to a tanto but still for 10$ I’m impressed

Genius to allow 3D printing of your knife for trying out purposes and for helping people make sheaths. Solves a lot of issues in a very efficient way.
Love the Good Vibes scales! I had moon boots in the eighties with that style/coloring, so it is appropriate to the whole Lander (good) vibe.😃
Thanks guys!
I've had the ozark grail for about a week now. & its holding up delightfully well!
Also, when will we get copper scales for the lander 1? :3

I can say the lander I have in D2 holds up well. But Spyderco kind of rocks it in that department all day.
Wow, I made the show. Sweet. 14c28n LuLu sounds amazing. Fingers crossed.
I feel like the Lander skateboard scales could be an epic limited run if you were willing to make a batch!
You can dye the scales with Rit dye I 2 of them black and tried to dye one green but it came out brownish because you have to die. Something in the color spectrum decker then orange. But it still looks awesome. I do love this knife and I won’t have a heart attack if I break or lose it at work
Okay, I'll say it. Is the Ozark overly cheap? Or are we seeing there's a lot of over inflation in the knife world? I own a Bugout but there's just no justifying that $180 pricetag anymore.
Except for steel tariffs and Portland being a horrible place to manufacture competitively anymore, and the fact that benchmade doesn’t have a cheap Chinese line to fall back on for easy revenue. There are many factors that people, especially knife RUclipsrs, don’t understand or care to bring up if they do.
Oh man those rainbow trout scales are killer. I’m gonna buy a lander 2 so I can have a knife with those scales on it!
"Yeah, I lost my ___________knife while at work yesterday. "
The degree of impact on your head and wallet will depend a lot on what's in the space. (Speaking from experience here)
What machine and materials were the crocs done on please?
I have been a big supporter of Knafs since day one love the product! Question; I would love to own a LULU but I don’t need a bulletproof steel that can withstand the jungle or the rust protection of working on a crab boat! I wonder if other people may feel the same way and want to support the LULU in a lesser steel? A kick starter campaign, perhaps or a just a poll to see how much interest there might be? Keep up the good work guys!
I bought the last one at my Walmart and I'm impressed and it's very sharp and cuts better than my D2 ESSE
I'd like to request an 80's style launch with acid wash jeans when the inevitable acid wash item comes 😁
Bought it out of curiosity. Put a razor edge on it. It performs just like D2 should. The lock has held up to all normal use and hours of flipping. I don't mind the static appearance as it's a perfect Halloween carry. Cheers boys!
The future is to create a great blade steel, bearing for great opening, tier 3 steel (cheap) for body and locks, with cheap scales that can be swapped out for more premium scales later.
I've been looking for thumb studs for a knife i like, the ones Kizer sell are $15 and are made in China. I might buy one just for the thumb studs. I'd be really curious about the heat treat on those.
I'm super intrigued about the acid!
Ozark Trail D2 for me! It’s a tool not jewelry and I can buy multiples of it easily to give away and leave in different packs and stuff.
Would you guys consider selling different variations of contoured G10 or micarta scales on your site? I recently fell into a contoured G10 rabbit hole and I can't go back to flat peel ply! I'd love the trout scales in contoured G10 if you could find a way to print the design onto the curved surface!
"Hey nice crocs" said no one, ever.
I have my ticket for blade show west. See you there
Bring a $2 bill!
Seeing Mora and Civivi in Wal-Mart now, as well as Ozark Trail knives that incorporate “enthusiast” knife features…it means we’re winning!
Now if only Wal-Mart could sort out their knife counter so that you can actually buy the knife easily instead of wandering around the store trying to find someone to help you, and then being told that they have to escort you to the front with the knife so you can pay for it…then we’d really be getting somewhere 😂
What? You don’t like watching a guy dig through a cabinet for 15 minutes looking for an item their website says is in stock? Those are previous moments! Cherish them. 😉
Do you guys think you could build a new outer for the Ozark Grail? I would buy your scales for the Ozark.
Hello Y'all, naturally you know that the Saturn V is the biggest rocket ever sent into space!!! Hope all's well with everyone/thing! Keep up the good work and vids. Be safe and take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 😇🙏👊
Biggest crock, you mean. Nothing has gone past the ionosphere
feels like a paradigm shift in the knife business.....I also would expect to see some notable changes towards more premium mid range steels.... Really enjoyed the Taiwan segment! and was here to the end and the Lander video was interesting....
14 year old me is so happy to find this channel🙏🏻
37 year old me is so happy you’re here. 🙌
My goodness you're changing the knife game again with this show. Also, I need to know what Jaime thinks of the Lander 2. He loved the Benchmade Bugout for so long ,so I want to know his thoughts.
Patiently waiting for some unlocked composites Lander 3 scales 🤞
Bought 4 Ozark Trails & were delivered to my door freight free! (Free Frt. $40+) Best bargain of my 30 year knife collecting career. 😊
I’m taking the Lulu over a custom knife ANY day man’s trippin such an amazing knife! 🔥🔥🔥💯
I’m flying from Australia just for Blade Show West 🥳
Whaaaaattttt?!!! That’s amazing. I feel like we need to make sure you have the time of your life there.
@@benbanters haha, I’ll make sure I come passed and say Gday
Go to home depot and cop the Milwaukee blade with a sharp and a saw side. Its incredibly sharp and pretty durable.
How’s the heat treatment? D2 is crap if not heated right, just like /most/all steels!
I’m not completely shocked by the ozark trail price. The Cjrb pyrite is commonly selling for $40 and they are outstanding. They feel good, the steel is pretty good. I’m not gonna say there is no place for more expensive knives. But there are really high value knives out there
Is it the Ship shape sharpening shop or the Ship shape sharping shack?
I have had kershaw d2 knives have terrible heat treats where it is impossible to deburr. Ozark trail d2 deburred so cleanly.
I love the 3D Lulu.
With White River as the OEM, you’re getting as good if not better quality with the Lulu than any $230 custom.
Is that a scandi grind on the Lulu? If so, why not instead get a Morakniv Garberg? 🤔
Someone needs to make scales of the Ozark Tale. Let's Gucci the beech up! lol 💯
I enjoyed that romp. Over the years I've bought a few Ozark Trail knives that were talked up a lot online, and wound up giving them away. I guess I'm just a knife snob. I do carry inexpensive knives at work, but nothing plastic.
“Romp” is definitely the right word for our meandering knife wander-fest. Thanks for hanging with us!
shit man, i remember a few years back the bugout was only $123.99 (still too expensive lol) and now they're pushing $200??! wish i never sold mine 😅
