I bought the knife that is SELLING OUT like crazy, here’s what I really think of it.

[@shanecollins3546]

I’m 67 years old and back in the old days ozark trail knives were garbage but now they’ve really stepped up their game I bought 4 small fixed blade knives and I’m impressed with them ❤

[@jmax5105]

For $10, I'm never going to complain about this knife. Love it for that price!

[@Fezetone999]

I just got one about an hour ago. Opened the box and it easily shaved the hair off my arm. I’ve gotten plenty of knives that have come dull straight out of the box so it impressed me. Not the greatest knife in the world, but seems solid. We’ll see how it holds up at work.

[@SKYGXDS]

Does it open easy in the pocket?

[@jonathancamps9853]

I’ve been cutting boxes for 2 weeks since it came out. Haven’t had to sharpen. I will never think of knives the same. That said I will still pay for better materials

[@NJRey]

2 weeks of non stop box cutting? That'll be a world record 😮

[@joshjosh575]

Clowns. I literally use my key to open boxes. It’s tape, not steal. If you spend more than 2 dollars on tool to Open boxes, you’re a clown.

[@cujo229]

After searching I finally found the last one available. This knife is awesome.

[@Strangerer69]

I give it a 5. I got 2 just in case I break the first. Cheap and works just as good as any expensive pocket knife. Axis lock on a $11 knife is amazing.

[@andrewmunczenski3632]

just bought one will pick it up tomorrow

[@edwardcnnell2853]

I bought one. It's a $10 knife, not $100 knife. For $10 it is a great knife that I can honestly recommend.

[@HachiHugada-ve8ex]

I hought the 4 pack and free shipping all 4 knives came sharp and ready to use. Also makes nice gifts for a kids first knife.

[@mrhalfstep]

Best $10 you can spend on a knife right now. I bought one and then 5 more when I saw how good it actually was. I knew they would sell out like the first Ozark Trail axis lock, so I wanted to have replacements if I lost or broke mine. Not to gouge folks with high resale prices.

[@Thomk121]

Should have just bought a $50 knife and gotten a knife that will actually last. I guarantee these Ozark trail knives will wall apart soon if you use them for anything other than opening packages.

[@YCIGAFSN]

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.

[@tommylitchfield3450]

The handle colors vary a lot. I bought 6 of them for personal use and gifts and some are blaze orange and some look like they have been bleached out in the sun. That doesn't really matter, but it is a real thing, even out of the same store on the same day

[@MrCabc88]

THIS is a knife test/review, not just in a desk cutting paper like all others channels😅

[@JasonKent-n3j]

Looks OK as a electrician I was carrying 940 but mostly use a razor knife but doesn’t look bad definitely cheap enough

[@milododds1]

Yes I love this OT D2 and can’t wait to give out the other 3 as Christmas gifts to my son and close friends. What I learned is not to pry things with it because the blade is thinner than the Benchmade Bugout, and the OT blade will break. However is it worth spending so much more for a Benchmade? I love Benchmade knives but when a $10 knife is this good,how should companies like Benchmade react? They need to respond to the market, either lower their prices or raise the bar, maybe do both? Fierce competition, same thing happening to Leatherman. China’s manufacturing is getting better and they predicted that would happen.

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

I really want this blade but hopefully they will have a black or OD green handle. Hate orange.

[@chriswright8114]

get a bottle of rit dye (the dye more for synthetics version). clean the scales with hot soap and water, dry, then submerge in an 8:1 solution of water and dye heated to just under boiling. thirty seconds to a minute or two and you're done. rinse, dry, enjoy your knife's new color scheme. costs maybe five bucks and ten minutes out of your day. did mine with the sapphire blue, came out a nice deep purple/navy blue color. much better than safety orange.

[@LegionTacticoolCutlery]

@@chriswright8114 thanks!!!

[@miaminarc]

This knife is a awesome knockoff of my benchmade bugout knife which is going for about 170 $ now. This knife is slightly heavier and slightly thicker than the bench made. The benchmade is featherlight but frankly for 9.99 This walmart knife cant be beat. I have both.

[@bdog3106]

The handle does feel cheap but it feels better then most other $10 knifes

[@chrism.522]

I watched a review on this. The guy did a full heavy duty review of this and some $90 tactical folder. It went toe to toe until the very last test when he was using the tip of the blade to pull Staples up out of plywood. Then the knife failed the test was the tip of this blade broke off. Still can't beat their knives I have a Ozark trail folder a little older model. It has held up extremely well

[@charleswtuggle]

Considering the price I give it 5 stars. I have 2 of them, one I carry and the other is in my emergency pack that I keep in the car. I have a lot more expensive knives, But like you said if you lose it you are only out $10.00.

[@terrydekker3233]

I have one and I think it is a steal at the price. I have more expensive knives that are not as good. I agree about the scales tho.

[@terrydekker3233]

Ganzo 924, 925, 727s and Kershaw Misdirect. All of these are better built but on initial action all of those knives are still not equal to the Ozark trail and they are all at least twice as much. These are just some of my more budget knives.

[@AlanMarcaski-hw5mu]

Your lawn maintenance workers/landscapers are gonna be like what the hell happened to the shrubery.

[@ryanmiller6900]

That’s cool I’ll stick with my Benchmade AFO2

[@outdoor044]

2:50 Yours looks like mine. Mine is noticeably darker orange on one side.

[@StephenRedburn-q1n]

Same here. The side that was out in the packaging is much darker

[@Robert-vb9gh]

Great review

[@VTPSTTU]

I wonder whether the next run of them will cost $20 and be trash knives. I wouldn't put that past Walmart or a Chinese manufacturer.

[@shawnpatrick1877]

That's not just Walmart or even Chinese companies, that's almost every company on earth. If something sells well, they will definitely raise the price. If they get a good enough reputation and some brand loyalty, they'll definitely start cutting corners and lowering the quality, relying on people to buy it anyway. There are a few companies with owners that actually take pride in their products and service, but most will do the least required to make a profit.

[@arturotorres6437]

I've known about this knife for a month or two and i still cant get it ! 😄

[@rocfl59]

Great vid!!!👍🙏

[@beardedjoeyhookem507]

It's hard to beat for the price!

[@american_pride0]

it's no benchmade killer but it's definitely injured them

[@fauxque5057]

You put it through a tough test. I just used mine at work to open boxes, cut nylon straps, and cut cardboard. After a couple of weeks I noticed the blade had noticable up and down and side to side wobble. It would tighten up slightly if I rotated the locking bar. The other thing I noticed was the blade is no longer as centered in the handle as it was when I got it. End of the day it's a $10. Knife. Is it worth driving all over town to get? Absolutely not. Is it worth an additional $6.99 to ship it to your house? Absolutely not. There are better knives for the same money or $5. more. I was happy to see the Kershaw Hotwire come back in stock. Not so happy that it's now $14.97 up from $9.97 It's my EDC knife. Like it so much I snatched one up at the 15 dollar price.

[@dericyoung6835]

I just got one 10 bucks man you can beat it if one breaks just get another one lol

If this is $10, imagine what $20 will bring. Fyi, Walmart is resetting their knife displays this week. Hoping for new sku's from Ozark Trail

[@HomeDepotJunkies]

I get not cutting toward yourself but his thumb was like 2-3 inches above where the knife was striking not to mention he wasn’t hitting hard enough to blow straight through the wood. Shits gonna be okay with what he was doing

[@ZeroFudgeGiven]

@@HomeDepotJunkies I mean, he also did that weird high drop with the blade facing his hand over a water bottle in the first 10 opening secodns. And I think we all know dropping a knife onto something is a great way for it to bounce and cut ya.

[@Johnny2Badd]

[@just9911]

A few friends picked them up - they all developed pivot wobble (for lack of a better term, they developed blade play on 3 different directions) and the lock bars are taking visible damage. That shouldn’t happen ever, let alone after only a few weeks. Instead of buying one knife that will wear out (and become dangerous, a lock bar taking damage is a really bad sign) just spend the 30-45 bucks and get something from qsp, sencut, CJRB, honey badger, real steel, steel will, ruike, etc that will feel better in the hand and won’t wear out after a couple months.

[@allkindsofoutdooractivities]

I returned it as soon as I bought it. The lock didn’t work

[@ofthedawn]

Does anyone have a solution for the blade wobble these have? Every ozark I've bought has had solid blades except this one. I love the knife. I really think if I bought a bugout I'd kick myself .

[@Kev32411]

Just tighten it if you have the tool. Honestly, it's made to just buy another when it wears down. They should make it so, if you send your knife back, they would send you a new one at a discount. After watching the video, these are probably best used as disposable throwing knives once they take so much damage.

[@ofthedawn]

@@Kev32411 can't tighten them. They're tightened all the way.

[@just9911]

@@ofthedawn the only real option that I’ve heard MIGHT work is swapping out the bearings for oversized washers. But the washers are going to cost you more than the knife did. A few friends picked up these things when they dropped to see what the hype was about. They all have bad wobble (side to side blade play, front to back play, and up & down play) and the lock bars are taking damage as if they weren’t properly hardened. This is just from a few weeks of light use. Totally unacceptable at any price point. They are to the point that I am definitely worried about lock failure. I sharpen and maintain the knives of a lot of my friends & family (I’ve got weapons-grade autism and I find the process of sharpening to be highly therapeutic) but I refuse to touch these things now. I think it’s only a matter of time before there is a lock failure and someone gets banged up.

[@ofthedawn]

@just9911 yeah. Ingot one to . I've always had good luck with ozark and this knife seems no different just the wobble.

[@Johnny2Badd]

If the blade is wobbling like that it means it was machined wrong. I would stop using that knife right away

Its a good knife but its a little on the thin side

Its a $10 knife for a reason..because it is a $10 knife. Amazon has so so so many options of great D2 knives for $15-20 that are great knives. Do not buy this silly "viral" knife

[@bryco32]

Throw out some suggestions.

[@aureliotower1up]

Ozark Trail is a Chinese made brand owned by Walmart. So you're basically just paying for another chinese knock off bugout

[@Robert-vb9gh]

Are the big channels ignoring this knife ?

[@jdisdetermined]

The big knife only channels have so far. Some tool/edc channels have covered it.

[@MasterYoist]

Ozark Trail equals Walmart trash.

[@jkstdstang]

Yes because no real knife guy is going to take a Walmart knife seriously Not to mention it is basically a clone of a bench made bugout. Ill stick to my Spydercos.

[@jdisdetermined]

@@jkstdstang lol I own four figure knives and I still have two of these OT knives and they're more impressive to me than almost anything premium that's come out in years. Expensive knives are supposed to be good. Knives this cheap aren't. Even the heat treat seems acceptable. One of mine took a hair splitting 15 degree high grit edge and is holding bite pretty well so far two weeks later. For mass production D2, that's very good. For $10 D2? It's incredible. It's fidgety, ultra thin hollow grind slices as good as almost anything I own. I threadlocked the pivot and mine is still rock solid, no play after thousands of cycles. Zero complaints. It's not hard use, it's not a pry bar, it's a high performance cutting tool. We all have our favorites of course, but to me, a *real* "knife guy" just loves knives. Period.

[@jkstdstang]

@@jdisdetermined I checked one out when they first came out but it was a little different model in g10 with a 3” blade and crossbar lock for 6 bucks. It was good for the price I suppose and maybe these are even better idk. Be interesting to know who they are using for the OEM. i also own plenty of premium blades from all the top production brands CRK, Shiro, Hinderer, Koenig, yada yada but do appreciate good finds and have budget blades as well. I just know I wouldn’t carry or use an OT no matter how cheaply acquired. I suppose they are good for some things, throw it in the glove box or a travel blade or give it to my boy or something, However I just don’t see the big knife channels covering the latest 10 dollar Chinese offering, i mean theres a new one every day but if people are enjoying them then thats cool too.

[@ra8640]

A folding knife at any price is Not meant to chop branches. A folding knife is also Not meant to be used as a throwing knife. If you used it as a Folding knife it would be fine.

[@airadaimagery692]

Testing a knife in ways that it’s not meant to be used, is exactly what we want to see someone do if they going to test and review a knife. Otherwise, their review is just a bunch of hot air, much like your comment.

As someone who already owns a knife this size, it's always amusing to see people going crazy to snatch up the latest flavor of the week. Don't look at it as buying four, $10 knives. Look at it as throwing away $40 on more knives you didn't need. 😅
