I really actually like when you go to local stores and grab knives. Gives new collectors/EDCers a chance to see what they can grab locally. Great video.
I started my collection at Walmart myself. Everyone has to start somewhere and you two always give starters and learners a good idea of what you get for your few dollars neat.
I climbed off my high horse and picked up a Kershaw Hotwire from Walmart the other day for 12bucks. For the money it actually surprised me and I carry it more than my Benchmade bug out. I'm starting to discover the budget part of life and that not everything has to be expensive. Content like this helps my journey. Thanks for sharing folks!
I have the first bearing assisted one they opened. I was pleasantly surprised. It's a super budget knife but the quality is not to bad for a 5 dollar knife. I also bought the fixed blade and had to sharpen it. I put it in my car.
I'm a fan of those Ozark Trial knives. Use them for work all the time. There is a novelty in having a cheaper edc knife and that is that it's easily replaceable. I have the stag finish knife and love it. I got my eye on that Ivory one now lol.
Love this video and all of your Walmart/Ozark Trail videos! Definitely would like to see a part 3! At my local Walmart, all of these were priced at $4.87 except for the red fixed blade that was on sale for $3.00 so I think you guys got a good deal. I like the Ozark Trail knives for practicing my knife sharpening skills and for throwing in my tackle box etc.
These remind me of the old Imperial knife display case down at my local Coast to Coast store. I’m showing my age, but those were pretty good, useful knives for $1-$2. These are the same. I got their trapper. Pretty good value, pretty good knife!👍
I like what the little pamphlet that came with my Svord Peasant knife said, “it’s a knife, it cuts”. If the stuff you bought works for you, no need to rely upon anyone else’s opinion. This is applicable to other areas of life as well. Also, I use to work somewhere where they sold dedicated safety package openers. It was just a small, spring loaded retractable blade, about a quarter of an inch or so long, used to “safely” open plastic packages. Just thought I’d add that since you were on about safety.
To be honest, these knives are not half bad for normal edc purposes, like cutting a piece of rope, or cutting open boxes or mail. I think as long as you use them in ways that aren’t beating them up, they aren’t bad to have around as a spare or extra tool
I got a fixed blade recently from walmart made by Ozark trail, it's a copy of the buck reaper, it's a bad ass knife for 20 bucks. Fit and finish is pretty good and is very sharp.
I just picked up the OD one at 14:40 here in early 2023. Its a 2021 model, and my local WM had one left. There is also a 2022 version with red scales, but I like the look of this 2021 much better in OD. Bearing assisted, good traction and a nice flipper. I would consider it a medium-moderate duty folder. I had to tighten the pivot a little to perfectly center the blade. Even with bearings it needs a little break in and then its really smooth. I also picked up three of the new axis lock models too. I agree these OT knives are better than gas station, but only if you get a good one. I think the QC varies greatly, but mine have no issues.
$3 knives are great for doing things that might cause damage to your knife, you just told it in the trash when done. Love the fact that Frankie is all in for working on the knives..." $3 don't care, going to fix it!"
The prices at Walmart vary with stock. So if they have so much of one style, to make room they mark them down. That's why many of these knives will cost you around $4 online because they aren't pressed for shelf space.
I have many knives some expensive Alot low priced you can't beat these little knives have many of them and put them through heck..excellent video thanks for the vdeo and time 👍
I’ve got all of these except the fixed blade and multi-tool. The Ozark Trails are fun to collect because they’re cheap and you never know which ones will be hit or miss. Walmart actually lists the rainbow one as the “Flare”. The rubberized handle one is the replacement for the older style green flipper. The one with the green G10 handle has trouble with the lock up because your hand has to rest on the frame lock to grip it. Like I said you’ll never know what you’re going to get with these knives. Great video.
Every now and then, you just have to try something you know is going to fail/hurt/suck. For me, it all starts with going to WM and goes downhill once I enter the parking lot. The crush of humanity inside the doors is usually enough to keep me away. Sometimes, I just need cheap camping supplies and a giant bag of jerky though... Thanks for the fun knife shtuff, guys! Pet the livestock for me and stay well up there.
Wow didn't realize walmart had so many cheap folding knives! You guys don't have cheap $2.60 folder that I got yesterday at walmart - one with serrated edge good for cutting small branches.
Picked up the black fixed blade around Christmas and recently found it in burgundy as well. Had to take a file to both sheaths to make the spine slide in and click.
Your first video inspired me to go pick up a few of these. For the flippers I actually love the action on the green one. It only weighs 2 oz which is super light. The blue one with the aluminum handle feels the most solid of all the flippers. It's not as smooth as the green one but still I like it. Cut the shit out of my finger fidgeting with it yesterday lol. Please do a follow-up. I would like to see how well you can get them tuned up and sharpened. It's not a bad thing keeping a knife handy that you generally do not care if you destroy it or not.
"But its RainBow!" Classic! HEY! blister pack is to be opened using SCISSORS! Not Knives! That's just silly! Think of blister packs as the rain, and scissors as the rainbow if it helps... $5 OT knives are the BEST Ferro-rod sparkler scrapers! I keep like 4 in each emergency fire bags under the truck seat, just in case the bic lighters fail...
I bought 5-6 of the assisted openers- at my Walmart they were$5 something. It is my EDC around the homestead. I used to buy and carry expensive knives and when you lose them or break them, that’s what happens when you use them, it hurts, I lose one of these I go down to the man cave peg board and grab another.
I actually enjoyed the knife adventures with Frankie and Bird. I have to admit I always gravitate to any knives in stores or gas stations, I'll even seek them out. If there is not a 3rd video I won't feel like my life is not complete but if it does get made I will watch it. 🤪
I buy those fixed blades and use them to practice etching, stonewashing and sharpening. What would you guys guess the steel is? 5cr? They sharpen up super easy and actually take a pretty damn good edge
🥀I always wonder how Ozark knives were... I have Ozark bedsheets on my memory 1ft. of foam Cot(Camo).. fold a king size mattress into a cot like me... big fluffy cloud sleep... thanks for recommending.... 🌹Man, I got 10 Remington Sports for discount price.. I tuned them and lighten the weight with Assisted deployment... 🌌
Things I've learned from the past 2 years of self reflection in isolation: multiple things can be true at once. It is possible you can have spent way too much on these knives, and that 3 dollars is actually a pretty good deal for some of these. Cheap knives have come a long way since our youth(s) and you can get something surprisingly usable in the Walmart discount bin. Also omg that was way too much. 2 of the sketchy "Ivory and gold" knives really? In this economy? The gas price was probably more :P
Have you checked out the blue ozark trail assisted opening knife yet? I wanted to send one to you both but finding them in stock at our walmarts is tough.
I swear for some reason my 2022 tan assisted flipper looks to have bronze washers. Hardly any blade play too. My first one was better but a buddy lost it so I had to get another.
Bird pick the same as I did and his top picked one I got 7 of those, now after this video I think I am going to get a few more. Here in south Georgia they are 5.00 each. So if it breaks or gets beaten bad it's only 5 bucks. They been worth that just for the time I have spent flipping it. Yes on part 3 I need more. I am hooked now. Don't cut it. 😎
I’m currently shopping for a good multitool. I’ve been looking into Gerber mp models or a leatherman just not to sure what I’m willing to pay for 1 I guess. Todays EDC BM 940bk, Swiss SD ,Recycled firefighter wallet.
Get that multi force from Walmart. Leatherman wave copy for $45 Edit: should be noted that the wave patent expired and oddly enough, there weren't many fake waves out there. This is a redesign but with similar attributes and from what I've seen, it's good.
FYI I thought I would attempt taking the lovely little pivot bearings from the first rubberized handle green knife and put them into the aluminum handled blue knife that came with crappy nylon washers. It was a no-go. The pivot stud on the blue knife is larger than on the green knife so the bearings would not fit. Sadness ensued. In my opinion the washers on the green knife make it far superior to all the others based on that alone. On the bright side, I was able to clean and lightly oil the pivot and washers on the blue knife so now I am able to fully deploy it with both the lever and finger stud.
Cheap knives are a must. I would enjoy a part 3 for the $3 knives. At the very least their great to practise sharpening on since they actually use a decent steel not mystery never take an edge gas station attrocity.
Also bought the kershaw assisted flipper 3 pack. Sadly disapointed again quality was poor! last good combo 4me fm them was 2019 so watch out if ur picky
Ozark trail knives are at least 8cr13 mov.Gas station knives are mystery steel most of the time.Ive beat the hell out of that little red fixed blade at work.
Maybe have Frankie use some of her painting skills, try to color some of the scales to make the non-rainbow knives prettier. ... I should really keep things to one comment, but hey it is good for the UA-cam algorithm.
I have the blue multitool, the blue handle knife,the rainbow knife, that flipper knife and they are awesome except that weird looking black and green one. I didn't like it so I gave it to my son
This video was actually cool 😎. I think Frankie likes the rainbow knife. Bird, your resident scammer was trying to scam me on your last giveaway video, 😂. Y’all keep up the great videos!!! My gal Sharon and I really enjoy watching!!!
Would you two take a look at Sennilox knives. Recently purchased one out of curiosity and am impressed. 30 bucks for one with carbon fiber and d2 blade.
I mean, for a few bucks, why not have a couple around for general opening duty on Amazon boxes or something... I don't like to cut things with my nice knives, they're just for me to play with... also, these could be great for practicing sharpening, on old school whetstones. For $3, I approve. +1 for FABPAT.

Can’t beat them for price.
Good tools. For the money.
I started my collection at Walmart myself. Everyone has to start somewhere and you two always give starters and learners a good idea of what you get for your few dollars neat.
You have to buy knives like these to appreciate your other knives. Yes for part 3 and thanks for sharing.
Lol I mean.... its kinda hard to go wrong even at 3 bucks a pc!!! Lol love you guys!!!

i love mine it’s a really cool little knife
@@cameron9322 glad you like it
I'm 14 years old and you guys got me into knives.
i agree with mr rost. best part of the hobby is tuning up cheap knives. i’m in for part 3.
Stocking Stuffers ! Kinda a neat give away ? You guys are terrific !! 😀
I've had the tan one for about 3 years. hands down that is my favorite knife. I love the smoothness of how it flips open.
I vote YES on a part 3. Frankie & Bird Polish A Turd.
FABPAT
Who doesn’t have a few of these in a drawer or glove box . Actually a great knife to cut that packaging is my SD classic blade! Great video guys!!
I have the first bearing assisted one they opened. I was pleasantly surprised. It's a super budget knife but the quality is not to bad for a 5 dollar knife. I also bought the fixed blade and had to sharpen it. I put it in my car.
I'm a fan of those Ozark Trial knives. Use them for work all the time. There is a novelty in having a cheaper edc knife and that is that it's easily replaceable. I have the stag finish knife and love it. I got my eye on that Ivory one now lol.

Some cool finds guy’s
I like how homeboy claimed the blue knife, and in another video, Frankie's got it...fun:)
Hi Birdshot, great video as always! I'm looking forward to more from you! Best regards from Germany
That was interesting. Thanks for sharing.👍🇺🇸✌️🇺🇸🤙
I like what the little pamphlet that came with my Svord Peasant knife said, “it’s a knife, it cuts”.
If the stuff you bought works for you, no need to rely upon anyone else’s opinion.
This is applicable to other areas of life as well.
Also, I use to work somewhere where they sold dedicated safety package openers. It was just a small, spring loaded retractable blade, about a quarter of an inch or so long, used to “safely” open plastic packages.
Just thought I’d add that since you were on about safety.
To be honest, these knives are not half bad for normal edc purposes, like cutting a piece of rope, or cutting open boxes or mail. I think as long as you use them in ways that aren’t beating them up, they aren’t bad to have around as a spare or extra tool
My first knife came from Walmart when I got into camping. Not the best knives but they have improved since then. Thanks for the review
I got a fixed blade recently from walmart made by Ozark trail, it's a copy of the buck reaper, it's a bad ass knife for 20 bucks. Fit and finish is pretty good and is very sharp.

I've got a couple of these that I use for work, and I'll tell ya. For the price, you can't beat em.
I actually like the look of the gold and white lock back.
4th 🗑
I have that lockback model and it's fairly solid for for the price. After some edge refinement, it makes a good beater knife.
Thank you guys for the review.
Thanks for watching 👊👊
All three of my local Walmarts have been almost totally cleaned out of folders for months!
About that first flipper you opened: after buying one & checking it out, I went back and bought 4 more. Even at $6, it's an incredible deal.
They sure aren’t bad for that price!
@@BirdShotIV Agreed! I keep one in the tool bag, one in the garage, one in the shop...
The prices at Walmart vary with stock. So if they have so much of one style, to make room they mark them down. That's why many of these knives will cost you around $4 online because they aren't pressed for shelf space.
I love your shopping videos. Sharpen the one and see how long it lasts in your next camping trip!
I have many knives some expensive Alot low priced you can't beat these little knives have many of them and put them through heck..excellent video thanks for the vdeo and time 👍

yeah it’s crazy some of the knifes i got for ten bucks for great then another for the same price will suck
take it to a stone @@cameron9322

Personally I love getting a really cheap knife and seeing how well I can tune it. Great video.
Thanks Jon
Great vid!! Here in texas those knives are $4.79 they used to be $3 I've been collecting those since 2018 most of them are pretty good!!
I have the tan one too. I really like it as well. It’s pretty smooth for the price! Thanks!
Picked up the black fixed blade around Christmas and recently found it in burgundy as well. Had to take a file to both sheaths to make the spine slide in and click.
I have the green one and it is very good in my opinion thanks for posting
I just got that greenesh knife 2 days ago and I love it thanks for the help
"The Legend of the Pen was way hardcoreeee!" and you can't replace Frankie's bird drawings lol. i have the mordax and BSW exclusive malibu

Look to see if you guys have a multitool with a package opener. I have one on my leatherman Rev and it works great!
"Knives for every budget!" - Birdshot IV
Hey 🤷♀️
That was pretty entertaining. The one you chose as your favorite is my daily carry most days. The hunchback single scale knife is horrifying.
"But its RainBow!" Classic! HEY! blister pack is to be opened using SCISSORS! Not Knives! That's just silly!

I'd like to see a part 3 🙂 Sorta liked the scaleless knife till I saw the "action" lol That tan one surprised me though very nice.
I buy those fixed blades and use them to practice etching, stonewashing and sharpening. What would you guys guess the steel is? 5cr? They sharpen up super easy and actually take a pretty damn good edge
Can we call the one Bird likes Son of Tan Flipper? :)
Also, Frankie...It's not real gold? 5:48 LOL You're the best, Frankie!

The rubberized tan flipper is a decent knife . Regularly abuse the one I have .
I was just looking at that fixed blade
they have much larger fixed blades as well
Yes! Been waiting for this
Thanks Isaac 😆
This video made me cry. 😭

Difference between these and gas station knives is that ozark trails are actually usable
Agreed
Was eye balling a few of these knives .give to kids maybe 🤔 stater knives.

You should keep a box cutter/utility knife on the table. That way Frankie won't seem like she's going to cut her hand off in these video's. 😁
Also bought the kershaw assisted flipper 3 pack. Sadly disapointed again quality was poor! last good combo 4me fm them was 2019 so watch out if ur picky
I’m all for a part 3!
You guys get a different camera. Looks like a wider angle. Or am I crazy?
I got the first one opened to check out. I don't think they have rubberized grip as it's just a sticky toxic plastic lol
😬 😬
Thanks for the review. Sorry, but I like the "buck" knife.
Ozark trail knives are at least 8cr13 mov.Gas station knives are mystery steel most of the time.Ive beat the hell out of that little red fixed blade at work.
Wish we would get these in canada, we get 10x less choice for 5-10x the price for other brands.
Also, great content guys
Maybe have Frankie use some of her painting skills, try to color some of the scales to make the non-rainbow knives prettier.
... I should really keep things to one comment, but hey it is good for the UA-cam algorithm.
The Walmarts near me are selling Ozark Trail knives for $4.50.
check out the Ozark Trail Assisted Opening Knife Model 6312 you won't be disappointed
I have the blue multitool, the blue handle knife,the rainbow knife, that flipper knife and they are awesome except that weird looking black and green one. I didn't like it so I gave it to my son
This video was actually cool 😎. I think Frankie likes the rainbow knife. Bird, your resident scammer was trying to scam me on your last giveaway video, 😂. Y’all keep up the great videos!!! My gal Sharon and I really enjoy watching!!!
Would you two take a look at Sennilox knives. Recently purchased one out of curiosity and am impressed. 30 bucks for one with carbon fiber and d2 blade.
tonight just bought thes knives for 2.50 each and a couple 3.00
The package is already open in the back lol just need to cut into the cardboard instead of the tougher plastic
Good job.
Have you guys checked out the Kizer Original yet? Copped the green one yesterday 💚
3rd 🥉
I do have some super cheap knives that I bought because they look nice. I don´t carry them much though....
Maybe someone mentioned it on the other video but that blue guy kinda looks like an OKC Wraith and Steel Will had a baby
All good for beater knives though.
But I’m gonna wait for the Wallyco Paramecium 2, with Adamantium scales and square thumb hole. 🕷
There would be a line out the door for that!!
The 2023 is ready?
In the end…I’d buy none of them. But hey, thumbs up for the WIHA set. I switched over to them from Klein drivers. (Electrician)
Not bad for five bucks
Still can't beat em for 3 bucks
Agreed!
7::32 is my favorite bec- it! will stay sharp for life if not put through abuse an only use for only self defense
Actually I was in Walmart today- more like $5.49-each
I want you to sharpen them and so us a before & after
I mean, for a few bucks, why not have a couple around for general opening duty on Amazon boxes or something... I don't like to cut things with my nice knives, they're just for me to play with... also, these could be great for practicing sharpening, on old school whetstones. For $3, I approve. +1 for FABPAT.
