Today I’ve got the Sencut Serene in D2 steel. So I have pretty high hopes for this knife.
Ozark Trail $10 D2 Knife: What Happened in Our Cut Test?
Ozark Trail $10 D2 Knife: What Happened in Our Cut Test?
Today we're putting Walmart's Ozark Trails orange D2 pocket knife through our "brutal" Redneck Cut Tests, and the results might surprise you. This budget blade started at a mediocre 8/10 sharpness, but quickly dropped to a 4/10 after the cardboard test and settled at a disappointing 3.5/10 by the end.
Despite the underwhelming performance of our particular sample, it's worth noting that other reviewers have found completely different (and better) results with these knives. But let's be real - for under $10, you're still getting D2 steel that will cut what you need it to cut. This is a workhorse blade you can beat on all day without worrying about damaging your precious safe queens. Is it the sharpest knife in your collection? Probably not. But it might be the best value beater knife for the money if you get a good one. Drop a comment if you've had different experiences with yours!
