This is certainly worthy of a "thank you I hate it" meme. That said, this is a totem in the knife community. If you've not seen or heard of this knife you simply are not a yet a full "knife person." You don't have to own one, good gods I'm not a (sea) monster. But if you know, you know. You know? It's a right of passage to acknowledge this bonkers knife from the Bokers company.

Don’t buy an Ozark Trail Axis folder. Buy one of these instead.
Yes, or buy that Kershaw Heist. :)
Great (dare I say it?) Dorktective work there!
What a time to be alive, I tell you what.
It truly is amazing. 😆
Anything for the knife community. 😄
I have an Ozark Trail insulated cup as well and it's great! Not dirt cheap, I agree, but far better value than a Yeti for sure.
Ha! Indeed.
Ok that is something I had not at all considered. Very good idea.
Great info! Thanks!
sorrynotsorry!
Yeah for the money I was hoping for something a little bit better. 14c28n probably would have been my preferred at the cost but D2 is fine and gets the job done.
If you pair this with the Opinel Picnic you'll have the means to maybe kill your meal and the means to eat it like a civilized person 😂
I'm certainly of two minds when it comes to Ozark Trail knives. On the one hand, the knife you have is better than the knife you don't have. And if $5-6 is all you can afford to spend right now, then you should absolutely get an Ozark Trail knife instead of some gas station/flea market garbage.
But I also know how good knives are when you spend only a "few" dollars more. If you're buying 6 at a time, well that's some real money but for one knife, if you shop deals/sales, you can get some knives that are clearly way better than Ozark Trail for $15-20. Double the price of the OT but I would argue often more than double the performance, action, and reliability.
I will never yuck someone's yum. Hell, I wouldn't give these away as gifts if I thought they were truly bad tools. As you said, you have to know what you're getting going in.
The one thing I'd say is a good reason to buy an Ozark Trail knife: you can practice your sharpening and not worry about ruining a more expensive knife. :)
