Ozark Trail D2 Bugout Killer? Comparison And Review !

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

The fact that they can make these ozarks, export them, sell them for that amount and presumably still make a small profit, proves that benchmade knives are way overpriced.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

Extremely over priced! Even their upper end knives are pretty ridiculous!!!

[@RustyShackleford-gl1vi]

They’ve been way overpriced and in July they had just raised their prices again

[@JWhittle-l8c]

Benchmade are made in Oregon, Ozark in China.. Ozark materials are low-end, Benchmade high-end. And, the CCP subsidizes the Chinese manufacturers to make their goods artificially cheaper for sale in world markets.

[@mikej5959]

@@JWhittle-l8c you’re absolutely right. That doesn’t mean that binge made isn’t still overpriced. I’m sure they’re overhead as men, but they don’t exactly pay super high wages. A lot of its automated just like in China. Again to run That automation is a lot higher here. These hobby companies that primarily make stuff in the US make a good amount of money because they can put US made on it. And the type of people that are buying it. Frankly I’d like companies to make stuff in the USA and not milk it just because of that .

[@warlantactical]

Lol your funny all knifes are over priced you do not need proof

[@mr.whipples411universe]

I have NEVER held a “Bugout” but from what I have seen in this video, I do like the looks of the Bugout blade. I did get lucky last week and got me an Ozark Trail. I have not opened it or carried it yet. Brother… In my opinion, you have Nailed this Review.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

Thank you for the kind words Dennis! I tried to be as fair as possible. Who knows in the long run there may be a big difference the other way! But I doubt it. Right now the OT is my choice hands down!!!

[@steveriddle6058]

I’m a 99%American made knife buyer I ran across one of these bm killers and picked one up very impressed

[@Hunting4Hookers]

I prefer to buy American 100%, but when there is such an extreme difference in price and the OT actually won,it just doesn’t make sense.

[@MI_Prepper]

The knife is SHOCKINGLY good! Can't even eat McDonald's for $10 anymore!

You can say that again brother!!!😁👊🏻 Thanks buddy! Welcome aboard! I appreciate you watching and leaving a comment!!!👊🏻✌🏼😁

[@georgia_adventurer]

I agree with you…is the Bugout worth that much more…no! It’s just a knife. I like mine, but I paid $100 5 years ago. I did a comparison video this morning with the Bugout and Blue assisted opening Ozark Trail! Bugout is to expensive

[@Hunting4Hookers]

My cousin told me that my local Walmart has a bunch of those blue assisted opening Ozark trails! When I get back in town, I’m gonna pick one or two up! Thanks Randy. I hope you have an awesome day, brother!😁👊🏻

[@SaxaphoneMan42]

I actually handed one of my other knife nerd friends an OT "Dropout" and said "don't look at the brand, don't pay it any mind", told him it's D2 steel, and to get a feel for it, and tell me how much he would pay for it and how much he thinks the market would price it at. He said he could see himself paying ~30 bucks for it, but could see the industry charging upwards of 50+ for the knife... Shoulda seen the look on his face when I told him it was a 10$ Walmart knife.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

It really is hard to believe brother!

Thank you for calling out the "Duh". I agree with you. Also...I have expensive knives, and I ran out and got one of these ozark trails.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

Thanks brother!!! These knives are really super good!!

[@oldgringo66]

Ozark Trail knives are on a rack by themselves. But this one was in the glass case along with the more expensive stuff. My local Walmart received just one. They said more are due this week. Nice handling. Good feeling. The color is not too bright.

[@jl123ist]

Yep, I got two from one of my local walmarts. They were both at the counter, I got both one in the box and the other one was the display. Got a dollar off the display, so $8.97 for one and $9.97 for the other.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

Yes sir! I really like the Bugout! I wish they offered it at a more affordable price for what ya get! The blade is awesome though! I honestly thought the Bugout was going to outshine the Ozark Trail when I started!

[@israelsapp7863]

I like certain Ozark knives but my Walmart didn't have this one.. Before I started hanging out in the knife community I was seeing them make better knives and I've noticed some Ozark trail knives and multi tools are behind Walmart glass now with crazy prices higher than the regular price usually is 🤷 but yeah I'm not paying that much for a Benchmade or that's just me so I'm glad to see good budget knives being made. Heck $175 I can buy some gold or ounces of silver and save money and watch that investment make money or be used as bartering if needed and stick with the great vintage knives and the new great budget knives under $100😉 Good little video cornbread ✌️😎

[@fgallogallo7]

To be very honest with you never had any use for bench made knives. I can’t let go what they did to the gun industry. Also, their prices are ridiculous. I’m a Buck guy and Kershaw USA made knives but I did purchase one of these Ozark Trail and I have to say I love it. Have a blessed day.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

I have a burr in my saddle because Benchmade helped destroy so many firearms! But I didn’t want to bring up politics in this. I’m glad you did though!

[@blackfrost273industries4]

[@patrickjenkins2788]

Great vid sir wife got my son and I one for Christmas! I like cheap and expensive knives, but I do agree with you! A knife just needs to cut lol.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

That’s the primary goal! If your at work a zip tie or bag of concrete doesn’t ask you the brand of the knife! If you are defending yourself I don’t think the adversary cares if it’s a Benchmade or Ozark trail.

I own both , I love my Bugout….. but I’m also really liking the Bugout “killer” only had it a couple days. I so far have determined they both are excellent knives and both worth about $50 bucks. Makes me feel like I should have had a birth control pill before I bought my benchmade. I love it but way overpriced, the killer is priced right and I’m loving it so far. I wish it wasn’t made in china but I like it. Make America Great Again !!!!!!

[@OzarksBoy-g8n]

I have both knives, and the similarities are uncanny, I'm glad to see that you did an honest head to head test, rather than beating the heck out of the Ozark Trail to see if you could break it. I think the Ozark Trail feels sturdier than the Bugout. I would never buy another Bugout unless it was like $50. It's a piece of plastic with a blade. Don't get me wrong, I think it's an excellent lightweight carry, you don't even know it's in your pocket, just not worth the money, as is the case with most Benchmade's. Thanks for the video brother. God bless. I saw the video you were speaking about, and I agree with you.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

Hey thanks buddy! I’m actually a fan of the Bugout, just not the price! In fact when I started this video I thought the Bugout might actually win the head to head, but the Ozark Trail was the better overall knife….. and cheap!

[@knivesiguess]

I've been sharing this everywhere to let everyone's viewers know that this thing's an anomaly. I've done 3 different cardboard slayer sessions on these things. First one was good for 7 hours of nonstop cuts, second knife went 6 hours before I couldn't go any more that night, and a new hand sharpened and polished edge on knife #2 went EIGHT hours and still wasn't 100% wiped out. The coating held up, the pivot held up, the action held up. I don't understand it, D2 usually lasts 4 hours before it gives up. Again, just passing the live stream results so your viewers have some more info on these guys.

[@garrettlundy3959]

I got one last week. It has a very ‘sticky’ action; It won’t flick all the way open and won’t close all the way without having to press on the back of the spine. But it’s $10🤷‍♂️ It was sharp enough to slice standard printer paper but not sharp enough to slice its own Walmart receipt without tearing. But it’s $10🤷‍♂️ Then my wife stole it to cut foam boards for Halloween crafts. So I went back to my Kershaw crown I’ve been carrying for more than five years.

SUBBED!!! I came across your video while I was farting around on the ol' KZbin. I started laughing which naturally caused my wife to come open the door and ruin my happiness. She wanted to know what had me giggling in the bathroom. I looked her straight in the eye and said, "Hunting 4 Hookers Outdoors!" 😂🤣😂🤣 The look on her face as the gears started to grind to a stop then start back up... priceless! Then she said she was just kidding about not going camping this weekend and there's no need to look for hookers outdoors. As she closed the door she told me to get everything ready we'll be leaving as soon as she gets off work. I laughed so hard I had to stuff my shirt in my mouth to keep her from coming back. I totally forgot about wanting to go camping. Now all I'm looking forward to is the look on her face when she realizes that I wasn't really hunting for hookers outdoors. I'm guessing that she's going to be beet-red and hot under the collar. I think I'm gonna buy a new knife while the weather's fine. Thanks for the laughter and the new knife. 🫡

[@YCIGAFSN]

I picked up four of those OTs. Three are still sitting in my knife drawer. I've been carrying one for three or four weeks and it does pretty damn good with what I have thrown at it so far. Still sharp as it was out of the package. 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. Bench Made? Not even a consideration to me after handling a few. Way over priced. The only knife I own that is over $100 is my Victorinox Swiss Champ. But I got it on sale for $65. And yes, it is a genuine Vic.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

Great take brother! Thank you for sharing so everyone can see!

[@RichardPoogerman]

Totally fair review. I have a bunch of Benchmade knives that I love, have a Bugout which I purchased 5 years ago for around $110, but I just don't see how they can compete. Brand recognition is powerful but given the overall economy they will fail, which is sad. Maybe they need to fire the assistant to the assistant of the marketing assistant and just focus on building great knives at reasonable prices.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

I think Benchmade has some internal issues and they need to stop mixing business with Woke politics. Thanks a lot for watching and leaving a comment! I appreciate it!!👊🏻😁

[@Hunting4Hookers]

That’s pretty cool! I love those OTs a lot brother!!

[@garycallahan7867]

I think you have been fair in your comparison. I bought 2 of the copies from wish before I found a used Bugout. It made it hard to understand the price difference. The Ozark Trail reinforces that. The OT having bearings is part of what makes it a little thicker. I’ve had mine over a week and I would like 3 things to be different. The thumb studs are longer and the edges of the machining are sharp. The same for the screws in the cross bar lock. I suspect that there may be some replacements out there to fix that. The end of my pocket clip has a hot edge on it as well. The end of the OT clip sticks up farther as well and I got a clip into the paint on a car once that stuck up like that. May have been on a Frost. How much would an OT with S30V cost? Carbon Steel? I think you will start seeing Mod videos and aftermarket parts pretty soon. Great Video!

[@Hunting4Hookers]

You make some great points buddy! A lot of those changes can be done with a few hand tools. I think we will see changes to these knives with all the feedback that is out there! We will likely see an improved version coming soon!

You can dye the scales with RIT fabric dye, just follow the directions on the dye box or bottle, you don't even have to take the knife apart. Just be sure to lube it after you are done. I did two in black and two in dark brown today and they look fantastic!!!! When I can get more of them I am going to do some in green and and some in navy.

Cornbread, great review brother!! I think you did a great job testing these two.. Just for me, there were minor issues with the Ozark trail that could have turned into major issues.. my lock mechanism did not work correctly when I got it.. and even sometimes now, if I flip it open a lot, it will hang up a bit. It's still a great knife for $10 but compared to my bugout, the OT is not as refined in some areas, such as the lock mechanism, milling on some parts, and smoothness of operation. Again, I really like both knives. Great video and testing, loved it!! Jam up and jelly tight as they would say!!! BTW, I can afford to buy another OT but I can't afford another bugout.. LOL..

[@blackbirdtactics8250]

Your opinion on the price of the actual Bugout is on par with pretty much every other review I’ve seen with these 2 compared. To the guys that got them early when they first came out, $89.99-$100 was the norm. Now, it’s essentially double that. I know that prices have increased across the board, but Marine X had a great comparison on his channel about the price increase of the Bugout versus the other flagship models from other manufacturers (I think he compared the Bugout, Squid and Paramilitary 3). As far as the Ozark Trail, I bought 2. One I’ve been carrying for the last week and the other one I’m going to give to my dad to replace his tired Milwaukee Fastback tanto. I think for $10, these will be put through their paces by carpenters, plumbers, painters and electricians. While I know a few people in that profession that would use their $200+ folders for scraping, prying, etc. most are using Walmart mark down Kershaws or similar.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

[@Joe-pw7ky]

The benchmade is easily 3x better than the OT. Is it 15x better? That's a discussion. I carry my benchmade when I need maximum "everything." I now carry the OT when I might abuse it, and I don't mind if I mess it up.

@Hunting4Hookers If I'm hiking or camping and want the confidence that the knife won't fail the Benchmade gets the nod. The OT is more like a day trip/fishing tool for me. That also means the OT is the edc.

Thanks for this video. We can buy how many walmart knives with $170? 14 or more? Well I have been watching walmarts website and 2 stores near me for a month and I finally broke down and bought one at a premium on ebay for $19. It is not here yet but, will be in a day or two. If I had a knife I paid $170 for I would never carry it and it would never be an edc for me. I would be afraid to mess it up or lose it. $12 to $19? Sure, I will carry one all day long and if lost or torn up, so what? If it does not hold an edge as long as an expensive knife so what? I can sharpen it to a razor edge in 10 minutes. Great video and, I thank you.

Really enjoyed your testing of both knives, although I don't think my hands/arms would be able to take the pressure, unless I was using an actual lightsaber! For me, the Bugout is just out of my price range for a knife I want to carry every day. The OT may not be quite up to the overall quality of a Bugout, but if I can buy 10 or 15 of them for the same money, who cares? It breaks, gets lost or stolen, then I drop by the local Walmart and pick up a new one, no sweat (assuming they'll eventually actually have them in stock, knock-on-wood). As you said, a knife is a tool, if it can do the job it's designed for, then anything else is just gravy on top. And while I like gravy, I'm not willing to pay THAT much for it!

I think this OT knife is great…maybe a bit too good, Walmart may decide to double the prices for releases like this in the future…

[@Hunting4Hookers]

If this one goes to $20 it’s still extremely worth it!

[@bobclark7076]

i went bought a bugout online.ten minutes after i opened it i was printing a return shipping label.i work for my money.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

I was big time disappointed! If it was a $60 I could deal with it. Still wouldn’t buy another one, but it’s more reasonable.

[@RustyShackleford-gl1vi]

Some of the price of Benchmade is the fees they have to pay for some environmental cleanup fines. Remember companies don’t pay taxes or fines they pass that on to the customer.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

Exactly! And the government keeps building more of both!

[@theroguetomato5362]

It's a bugout killer for me because no way am I spending the money for what a bugout costs, even if the bugout is way better.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

It’s an awesome knife!!! Not just for the money either! In my opinion, I really like it better than the Bugout!

[@mikeogden5256]

Does benchmade have a thicker blade

[@Hunting4Hookers]

Actually the blades are pretty much identical except the Benchmade is S30V and the OT is D2!

I managed to get 1 Ozark knife, wouldn't shave out of the package (that being said I've got hair thats more like light barb wire and kills hair clippers). I've never been a fan of Benchmade and won't buy their knives for particular reasons even if they do have good warranties, QC and steel materials. I also picked up a bugout knock off for under $6 just to see how they felt in hand to get an idea what the hype was about. Is it super light fitting what it was designed for? Yeah. Would it be a ton better if it was actually s30v steel and Benchmade QC sharp? Also yeah. With both those and add a lifetime no questions asked warranty thrown in are they worth $80 (let alone retail)? Maybe if you got a big surplus of money to blow but for me thats a heck no. For $10 I'll be trying to pick up more Ozark knives for daily use and just get a better edge on them myself.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

I couldn’t agree more buddy! I have other reasons that I don’t support Benchmade but I tried to be as honest as possible!! Thanks for watching and leaving a comment! I really appreciate it!

[@trevorthomas1030]

I say if you want an S30V knife to compare it to it would be the Benchmade Presidio mini 2 because like the Ozark it also has full liners.

[@wayneanderson991]

The Ozark Trail D2 Bugout killer IMHO will do anything the BM Bugout will do if used like a pocket knife. I have the BM Bugout and the Ozark Trail D2 Bugout killer and hundreds of other folding and fixed blade knives. The knives coming out of China as of late are very good for the money if the blade is D2 in my experience. BM's S30v is very chippy on my samples, the D2 on my Ozark trail samples are not chippy. The D2 on the Ozark trails knife takes and holds an edge very well for a $10.00 knife and probably on par with any $80.00 knife I've seen in D2. I have a shop full of professional sharpening equipment and from what I can see sharpening the D2 steel of the Ozark trail it is better than average for a knife in this price range. The Ozark Trail D2 Bugout killer is a clear winner IMHO for a common sense no BS pocket knife. If you lose or break the knife you won't lose any sleep over it.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

😁👊🏻🤘🏻👍🏼 Absolutely! I couldn’t agree more! Great take buddy!!

[@johnssteve]

Bugout is Perfect

[@LastChanceKnives]

I was at Walmart today and none were to be found. Our Wallmarts here are horrible and always have a very sparse knife display. Many people place a lot of emphasis on ultralight gear. Most of the time I find that ultralight sacrifices too much in performance. An extra ounce or 2 makes a big difference in both preformance and price. Now don't get me wrong I like light gear for edc and backpacking as long as it is still functional. The tradeoff for super light isn't worth it.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

I could t agree more brother!👊🏻😁

[@tonypavlik4434]

I am not a big fan of Chinese knives ( rather buy American ) but there are a lot of good knives that come out of China. And almost every thing in our lives that we use have something from China in them. That being said, I my self would pick the Ozark trail knife. Mainly because of the price. I love that Bench made knives are American made! But I can’t afford them. If they were closer to a hundred bucks, maybe. Thanks for sharing your test results between the two. Hopefully I can find a ozark trail knife and test it myself, but I think it’s definitely a good knife for the common man that just needs a tool, and not just for collecting. Thanks again for the video, have a awesome week!

My Walmart has had them and I waited till today to get one and I end up getting the display model. It’s a really nice knife. Not sure I’d pay more than the $10.87 I paid for it though.

Thanks for the comparison review...I've not found one yet, but will wait until one is available...try avoid the things that tend to put folks at odds, but I buy what I think has value...aren't American executives importing vs manufacturing? Are we looking too far from home to answer for consequences of imports?...I fear our current culture is not honoring our forefathers & American sacrifices in many ways...I am not sure what we buy is the worst of them...God bless...Jim

Benchmade should cost more because of the cost of manpower in the Us and the fact that they actually design their stuff and not just copping others and of course the warranty, but for sure they are still over priced by quite a bit.

I can totally agree with that!👍🏼 If the Bugout was $80 it would still be expensive but more reasonable.

I’m in kind of the same place buddy! It’s a great little knife , just no bang for the buck.

[@mikeydudek2885]

You aren’t wrong, Benchmade’s prices are outrageous, considering some of the handle materials and quality control are a little questionable. They use decent steels but that’s just not enough these days, especially considering some of their competitors offerings. Just look at Spyderco knives in the $250-$300 range and compared them to a Benchmade around the same price point. There’s no comparison. Also the action on a lot of Benchmade’s knives is severely lacking. Idk, that’s just my opinion, but I feel like the other companies kept progressing while Benchmade just relied on its name to keep up sales instead of innovating or improving.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

My sentiments exactly! I just think Benchmade is living off their name instead of offering the public reasonably priced products that are of high quality.

[@ToolTechGeek]

I wonder if Walmart will bump the price up since they’re unexpectedly so popular. I’ll guess they are probably trying to figure out a new price.

[@Hunting4Hookers]

I wouldn’t be surprised . But I don’t expect it.

[@EDCandLace]

I highly doubt it, Walmart builds to a cost and retail cost. Their profit margin is already dialed in so I would highly doubt they will change the price. Just like when Swiss tech came out and went viral and people was buying every piece they had in stock.... Prices didn't change.

[@ToolTechGeek]

@@EDCandLace I believe it, I got some products there like a coffee maker that has been working well for years and was super affordable. It was better than a brand name one. The other question is if they will keep making it longer term. Hopefully yes and add variants or improvements.
