Walmart Knife?

[Missourian]

I'm eyeing this knife from Ozark Trail (Walmart Sporting Goods House Brand).

It's a Buck 620 Reaper clone in 7cr17mov instead of 420HC.

The 620 is discontinued.

How bad can it be?

Where is it made?

Where is it made?

I suspect China...

...maybe Taiwan. That's where the Buck 620 was made I believe.

It's tough though...



I'd never do that to it.

Still watching videos.

Specs are identical...

If you're going that big, why not a Buck or Bowie knife?

I have a love for polished Japanese steel.

Why not just buy a hatchet or a hand axe if you're going big and heavy, and a smaller knife for fine work.

I have 'em. A Buck119, and 120 .

To replace the 119 Special is now $80.

To replace the 120 is a hundred bucks.

Better to eff up a $20 beater knife.

Ozark Trail vs Buck 124...

Made one of these cross draw sheaths for another Buck clone and I think it would look great to make one for this Buck clone, incorporating the sheath insert.

 

[Missourian]

Picked one up today.

It's pretty well built.

I love that offset of the blade from the handle. Don't know why it calls to me, but it does.

Got the best ballistic nylon sheath I've seen on a budget fixed blade.
