Let’s DESTROY this Walmart Knife from Ozark Trail. It Sucks. Do NOT Buy It!

Just keep the blade sharp and it works just fine for edc. Can always buy another one if it breaks, ya know.
Depends on the need.

I have legimately expensive (relatively, were talking edc knives under the cost of a sebenza/customs) knives like 2 spyderco pm2s, a soyderco manix, a 20cv benchmade griptillian, ect. I also have a whole bunch of kizers, vosteeds, cjrbs, opinels, cold steels, (insert middle tier knife, I probably have it). The ozark trail, for 10$, is all the knife MOST people need. I picked one up just to see what the fuss is about, after they made the metal liner version have a reversible pocket clip. It's staggeringly good for the price. Yes, everything needed to be tightened down right out of the box (if you buy it at Walmart and you don't own a torx kit, buy one there)- but once you do there's no blade play, a really smooth action (like cjrb smooth) and no pocket clip wiggle. Is the blade super sharp out of the box? No. Will it slice paper? Yeah. Is the D2 blade (yes, it likely is d2 based on multiple reviews) heat treated well? Absolutely not. Mine has a relatively low hrc and is awfully soft compared to my other d2 blades (d2 grip, kershaw iridium) - but as a result it's easy to sharpen or strop back to a decently sharp edge. That's both a result of cost cutting by ozark trail and the fact that most people buying a 10$ at Walmart don't have proper sharpening tools- it works out well. Buy one, keep it in your car, and have it for a rainy day- they're pretty solid- It's crazy whats out there for new/younger people getting in the knife world in 2025, compared to just 15 years ago when I was getting into it (I'm 27 now).

Bug out breaks the exact same way with the same force.

Bro, its a $10 knife and everyone watched you struggle to break it. Chill.

I bought one of them Walmart, five Ozark Trail it’s held up for a year better. I can’t complain. Think I paid seven dollars for it.

The bugout literally breaks easier. So which one is hot garbage?

Its quite obvious you wore down the blade and tampered the pocket clips integrity.

Anybody who dosent appreciate these knives is either Gay, psycho, worships satan.

Well, I guess it's back to using a crowbar for me.

What a man there went 5 bucks down the drain

Can’t imagine using any knife the way you did, that’s what a pry bar is for 😂

You took the liners out of it and you loosened the clip. This is a good knife for the money!

Mine was very sharp, no blade play, great smooth action, and the pocket clip is tight.

Do the bugout

I’m pretty sure a bugout would snap in half the same way. And I can buy 30 of these knives for the cost of a bugout.

Ok but who’s gonna purposely put their knife in between a cabinet door and the cabinet and bend it😂

I love mine this guy's a plant 🪴

I disagree with you 100% I've been carrying and using this knife for the past two months and it's absolutely great. It scratched my Bugout itch for $5.

it has its place as a beater, or a loaner. we are not allowed to carry a knife at the place I work.... I carry a custom knife. I have $350 invested in it.. everyone comes to me when they need to use a knife.... I don't care to loan it out... ( even the safety man come and asks for it ... more than most of the other guys)

Question. Who uses a knife to do this?

He must have gotten a defective one. Mine was sharp as crap.

The ones I’ve gotten seem to be decent. Definitely good bang for your buck. And outdoor55 walked back his making fun of the d2 blade as the edge on his was severely burnt. It may be hit or miss with these, but I don’t mind a slightly softer knife, but I even doubt they’re that soft, and the play and action in mine have seemed fine.

I think it’s a great knockabout knife for $5. Why does he sound so upset about this particular knife?

This dude is pathetic he took out the bottom screw for the clip and dolled it down mind come out of the package clip not moving and sharp enough to cut through paper

Now do a bugout

I have to sharpen mine a couple
times a day

I mean, if you twisted a bugout the same way I'd imagine it would also break a similar way... May not be the best knife ever made but for 5 bucks I think this is a tough argument to support

Its 5 bucks. Benchmade employee i bet.

I think the fact that he started breathing heavy trying to break it was funny

Mine was ridiculously Sharp (which shocked the hell out of me) and I had no play in the clip. Also the Benchmade bug-out flexes just as bad. With this thing being $5 of course it's not as good as a Benchmade but Benchmade has become trash nowadays too.

I got one for 3 buckaroos and it’s a great little knife i have to sharpen it once a week but i enjoy sharpening them

I got a crow bar to open things i dont use a knife sorta silly!!!

There is a better way to open the cabinet door.

The Bugout actually has cheap plastic as well. Just noone wants to destroy a $200 knife... except for Joe X ....

Yuuup. You might get a steel liner knife with some type of plastic handle scales, an Axis style cross-bar lock, ball bearing pivot and a blade shaped piece of metal for a blade but you're not gonna get properly spec'ed steel with proper heat treatment lending the liners strength, the blade hardness and the lock components both strength and hardness for $5 or $10.
Its just not possible. Something has to give and apparently with this knife its everything.

Lmao you can do the same thing to a bugout but for only $160 more

So sharpen the damn thing and tighten the clip. You’re a fucking idiot for that. The only hot garbage is this short.

Damn this means I can’t do my daily stick it in a cabinet door and pry

Mine was fairly sharp out of the box, and stropping brought it up to shaving sharp. The blade was a little warped, but I don't care.

You sound like a tool! Mine was plenty sharp, I bought five more which were also sharp and it was $5! For $5 it's a damn good knife!

If you'd done that with the one I bought you'd have cut your thumb in half. You dulled that knife. The bugout would break exactly like that if you did that to it. It's a great buy for 5 bucks and the orange one is even better.

And FINALLY WE HAVE SOMEONE MAKING A VIDEO CALLING THIS KNIFE WHAT IT ACTUALLY IS! the whole 5 dollar Grails and all that and people spending 40+ on these knives on Amazon needs to stop. It's hard to believe how dumb some people actually are. You just got a sub from me for calling this knife what it is!

That’s crazy mine came wicked sharp out of the box, super smooth action and pocket clip tight, I’m tired of seeing people try to talk bad about them it’s a 5$ knife and looks like it’s snapped just like the benchmade bugout

One sentence. It's a five dollar knife.😂

Weird, mine was sharp out of the box and no play on the clip.

Man i love when people buy a five dollar knife and complain about it being cheap and dull like have you ever even tried sharpening it like mines sharp after i sharpened it

What a piece !!!

Lol feel better?

Thank you for telling the truth about these whack walmart knives. Just pay the extra $10-15 for a ganzo or civivi 🙄

Just like a bugout
