I broke my rule of no expensive knives and bought a benchmade. Lost it 3 weeks later. Only knife i ever lost. Serves me right

D2 is tool steel. Pretty good metal for a ten dollar knife. There are still plenty of knives approaching 50 dollars with back locks that use this metal. It will rust if you let it, but it is absolutely serviceable.

I bought 3 of these, They are super light which is actually nice. The blade is super sharp. all 3 of them were solid out of the box nothing loose or rattling. doesnt open in my pocket and when you go to open it you just need a light flip

Best $10 knife I have seen. Soon to be the best $12 knife, because they should sell a ton of them at $10. That's worth buying more than one just to keep in convenient places.

Knives are a lot like cameras: the best one is the one you have with you when you need it (your phone camera usually ). Three or four $10 knives placed in the car, the truck, the shop and the house may well be the best knife there is.

I purchased one of these on Wednesday August 21st and I loved it so much I purchased another one on Saturday August 24th. This definitely will be the best budget knife of 2024 for sure.

There is absolutely no reason to buy an expensive knife except for vanity. I've carried a cheap ridge runner knife for around 12 years, think i paid $13-15.

Ozark Trail is surprisingly good for what it is. They have really stepped it up in the past several years.

In at least one way, the Walmart knife is better than the Benchmade: it has full-length inner metal scales, whereas the Benchmade Bugout has metal plates near the hinge, but they only go about a third of the length of the handle, and the G10 scales provide the structural strength for the knife. This makes the Bugout and its clones kind of flexy/creaky, in a bad way. The Walmart knife is much more rigid.

I ordered one earlier this week, non available in any store in a 50 mile radius. They took my order.showed in stock, would be delivered in 2 days. $10 plus tax. 24 hours later got an email that my order was Looks like a pretty good deal if you can get one.

EDC knife should be usable and cheap enough to not cry when you do lose it, which you will if it is a EDC.

[williamemerson]

Darn right it's worth it! Box cutter, letter opener, wire stripper, a less expensive working person's knife. There was a custom knife maker, some years back not too far from here, that used D2 exclusively. My understanding is heat treating is a little tricky. He used the stock removal method then sent'em out for professional heat treating.
STOCKING STUFFER, BABY. 🎅👍🍺

Been a knife collector and heavy user of knives for 40 years. And I can't think of a thing you should be doing with a $250 knife that a $30 knife can't do just as well. It's our job to maintain our blades according to the needs of that blade. The only distinction I make is between "real" knives and "novelty" knives. If a person is doing much more than that, then they've been suckered by the industry.

I bought one for my glove box. The lock feels a little gritty, and the scales are slightly different colors; but for $10 I can live with that.

[MaxisBallinonaBudget]

Well I have 40 knives I dont use but you made me impulse buy another one 😂 damnit

[stumpygopher]

I picked one up yesterday at the Bartow, Florida Walmart.
Not a knife snob.
Actually prefer this over the Icon knife. Just feels better. Of course I like my Kershaw knives.

I saw this yesterday morning via another channel, whereupon I immediately went to the Walmart website where it said my local WM had them in stock, and ordered 2 for pickup. Grabbed them an hour later, and "No" its not a Benchmade, but my daughters fiancé who is a "Benchmade-aholic" had to agree that it was a great copy for just 10 bucks!

Mine was able to cleanly shave the hairs on my arm, right out of the package. For the money, these will make great "Beat up knives"/"Throw in the Toolbox/Truck" AND as good "Stocking Stuffers" at Christmas time. No, not a Benchmade, but the sales tax on the Benchmade equivalent will be double what you'll pay for this "Budget Benchmade" ..

Brother, you have become my favorite, down to earth, tool review channel. Keep up the great content.

Ordered 13 hours ago with 3 in stock and informed 2 hours ago that it will be delayed. Not surprised with the hype.... 😊

[arturotorres]

Time's are tough right now, I'm not surprised a quality knife at $10 is sold out! I'm eagerly awaiting them to be back in stock!
