Today we’re putting Walmart’s Ozark Trails orange D2 pocket knife through our “brutal” Redneck Cut Tests, and the results might surprise you.
Lightning Elite OTF Cut Test: 440 Steel Proves Its Worth!
Lightning Elite OTF Cut Test: 440 Steel Proves Its Worth!
Today I'm putting the Lightning Elite OTF through our Redneck Cut Tests to see how this dual-action automatic holds up under real cutting tasks. With 440 steel listed in the specs, I'll be honest - I wasn't setting my expectations too high for edge retention.
But sometimes knives surprise you in the best way possible. After running this budget OTF through all our regular tests - cardboard, rope, hose, and wood - I came away genuinely impressed with how well it held that edge. Most people don't usually expect much from 440 steel, but this Lightning Elite really stepped up to the plate. Watch the full test to see exactly how this affordable automatic performed and why it earned more respect than I thought it would. Special thanks again to John Emerson for loaning this knife to the channel!
