Very valid points dude and like you said it's the first $10.00 knife with D2 STEEL. I also have much more expensive knives and I love them but I have 2 of these and I'm thrilled with them.

I bought 4 online and got them the next day. 3 of them will be stocking stuffers for friends and my son. I don’t want to purchase anymore because I want others to have an opportunity to get one. I love the knife, it’s a great little knife that fits my hand perfectly. I tumbled the knife in my pocket with my keys to smooth the rough texture of the plastic handle which has done wonders for the feel. Do that for a week and you will love the knife even more.

They obviously make them shits for less than $10 all of them even the high end one's but you'll pay for it so why would they charge less. It's a piece of metal

Yes, it's just a piece of metal. Yes, a significant amount of knives are made for less than $10. Some companies go for volume sales. Some don't.

the iridium I believe is also made in China, but the Fit and finish on the iridium is definitely much better.
@K.O.Knives2 ай бұрын
@@maxlvledc Yeah, the Iridium is also made in China. It also has aluminum scales, and agreed, a better fit and finish overall. To make something $10, there are gonna be a lot of corners being cut, quality control being one of those corners. I'm sure I'd prefer the Mini Iridium over this if I had one. The Iridium has a handle that's slightly too long for my hands which is why I enjoyed the Walmart one.

It is really competing with the $20-$30 Chinese D2 Bugout counterfeits from dhgate and AliExpress instead of the $150 CPM S30V Benchmade Bugout since there's no fair comparison between the real Benchmade steel and the Ozark D2. It sill is a great deal at $10 vs $20 or $30 from Ali.
@K.O.Knives2 ай бұрын
@@2010oldtimer It's competition is sitting in the $55 range. Yes, it's better than the counterfeits mainly because it's been heat treated better. S30V and D2 really aren't as different as people think they are. According to Larrin Thomas on KnifeSteelNerds.com, D2 (when heat treated properly) is a 5 out of 12 in edge retention, and S30V is a 6 out of 12. This D2 has a great heat treat. It's very comparable to S30V.
