I bought the $5 OT knife today. Needless to say, I’m very impressed. It’s actually a very good little knife . The action completely blew me away. I haven’t done any testing or thumped on it yet. But, for $5 it’s pretty incredible. The REAL Bugout killer!
You don't actually believe that a 5 or 10 dollar knife is anywhere near a Bugout right? You do know they aren't remotely in the same class of performance just as they arent in the same class of price. Calling a 10 dollar knife a Bugout killer is ignorant to say the least. It's a 10 dollar knife... Nothing more nothing less it's a 10 dollar knife built to that price point and that price point isn't buying you much... And this is coming from someone that can't stand Benchmade.
Have you tried cutting anything ? I can sharpen one of these really fast to a razors edge. That edge is gone faster than I can sharpen the dang things !!! You get a few good cuts then she's no longer very sharp at all !!!
@@Stickbow1980 interesting. D2 steel should hold an edge for all day long. It could be 5cr15mov. Which would be a step up from 3cr13mov that Ozark Trail use exclusively. Hard to believe they would suddenly update to D2 from something like 3cr13. D2 steel is expensive to make knives out of so they wouldn't be making any money putting D2 steel on a $10 knife.
Case quality has been in steady decline for about 10 years now.... Case is just resting on its laurels and fans with the crap QC. I haven't bought a case knife online in like 8 years because of how likely it is to get a poorly made/QC piece... If I can see them in person and cherry pick them I'll buy otherwise case isn't even on my radar and hasn't been for about 8 years now. Case of old was fantastic and I own about 70 case knives but 90% of them are from 10 or more years ago and the few newer ones are from local stores that sell them and I can cherry pick the ones that are perfect and not full of gaps, shields falling off, blades rubbing liners etc etc.
The black one is as smooth as butter…the white one is also a great value… I bought a few of the white ones and like them so much I went back and got a few more… they were almost all gone.
And people like you are exactly the reason that so many people that want them can't get them and have to go to eBay and pay 40 bucks or so for a 10 dollar knife. What's the purpose of having 5 or 6 or more of the exact same 5 or 10 dollar knife? That's just wasteful buying and causing others to not be able to get one of the want one. Next time just try buying one or two and not the whole rack the person that comes after will be thankful that some asshat didnt buy the whole rack for them to just sit on or flip on eBay... What's really crazy is that people are actually foolish enough to go pay multiple times the value for a piece just because some TH-camr said it's a great knife... Literally makes me shake my head.
@@Edcreviewer I bought a few extra to gift and a couple to try to dye into different colors…I’m new to collecting knives and can’t pay $25 or higher to experiment on trying to dye different colors…I didn’t buy the whole rack to resell them on eBay like some…you’re accusations are way off my friend…
The 16 white ones i got 😂 (dyed em all the colors) are all better than my orange one which has a much weaker spring, and upon closer investigation, a slightly bent blade. Got 2 black tanto folders but returned one which had a loose clip despite tight screws and a crappy grind. Also got a few of the recurve and tanto fixies and have been beating the crap out of em with impressive results. Crazy for $5!?!?
I think they improve the Omega springs on the second batch of the orange D2 ones, my first was so weak and actually broke immediately, and they've made visible changes on the second batch including reversible pocket clip, and brighter scale color. The new ones you can get them online are excellent action, but I think the white one is still just a touch smoother even!
@@Trustory209 I know I picked two up from that $5 Holiday knife bin they are great! I took a camping for four nights, and still held the edge to my surprise
Your not wrong. These videos are literally why people was paying 40-50 bucks on eBay for the D2 Walmart knife and that's truly laughable... These videos are making people think it's truly something special and it's nothing more than a 10 dollar knife. Just like the 5 dollar knife it's nothing more than a 5 dollar knife BUT people see all the omg this is the best value ever and such a great knife videos and FOMO kicks in and next thing you know they are going to eBay and paying 4-5x for them and they are the are the reason they are sold out at the Walmarts because jerks go buy them all up and either just sit on them or more than likely post them on eBay making a couple hundred % profit on what is nothing more then a 5 or 10 dollar knife. It's kinda sad how much people are sheep and just follow the leader... If the one the look up to us a TH-camr they are double F'ed.
No they aren't !! If you own one of these then you know that sure you can get it sharp... But 3-4 cuts later and she's no longer sharp !!! The marketing behind these was genius and very telling. Make a couple youtube videos of someone talking these cheap knives up , show it to the masses and enough blind sheep will follow to turn a profit.... Absolutely genius and alot of y'all took the bait.... Hook, line and sinker !!!
I've carried the fake stag knife with silver bolster for 3years now. Bought it after xmas for $2.50. How could I complain? I bought the orange icon and the white one recently... the quality seems to have improved. Hopefully, these last as long as my original.
i picked up the fake stag one and it is pretty classy for a 5 dollar knife. no luck on any of those other models but i did see a liner lock with kind of a tealish handle and a matching one in blue. i didnt get them because im hunting for the crossbars but the handles felt incredibly comfortable. i think they were rubberized or something. im curious if they'll eventually get tacky though over time.
Let the jerks buy up the cheap $5.00 knives. My store still has them but I wouldn't waste my money on one. Stainless steel particularly Chinese will not stay sharp and is the worst type of blade. They flex and are cheap for a reason.
the orange one is almost crap(because of the D2)...I like it.......the others are REAL crap. You should be ashamed of a review of this.....the civivi D2 for $25 @ walmart is decent.
Unbelievably I actually found 2 at a nearby Walmart. I’m now using it instead of my Swiss army cause it’s light and just works.
The Fixed blade tanto is pretty decent too.
decent?????......compared to what?
there's another green one with a flipper tab, full steel liners and a drop point blade, probably my favorite of the holiday lineup

@LXT43 it's cheap d2 not properly heat treated. He showed the one with the broken blade. Buy them up suckers!
I bought both last week.
My all black one came shaving sharp, I can't say that for many of my case knives

That’s under a dollar per year for your carry knife. Not too bad.

ambidextrous lock but no left side pocket slip.... stupid.
The new orange one has screw holes on the left side scale for lefties.
@@ringaleavo YES...and it is D2 steel!!
They're "really good" for knives in the $5-$10 dollars range. The steel is still junk just like it was years ago.
hmmm...really good knives for $3 perhaps.....unless you need a knife, then yer screwed
