The orange ones didn’t make it before Christmas, so the boys got the white ones in their stockings. I got one of the orange ones hair popping sharp with about 20 passes on each side on a small 800 diamond resin sharpener.
Opening and closing the orange ones is slick compared with the white ones. That, plus D2 steel, metal liners, reversible clip, and rounded scales make for the orange one worth the extra $5 and probably a value that can’t be beat for $10. The white ones don’t feel like a good value even for only $5.

Oh no! if it can't cut nails, I shouldn't waste my time.
Just picked up 3 of these. So far I like it better than the Benchmade bug out that I bought a few years ago. The action on that $200 knife was so gritty that to left grooves in the blade from opening and closing it and I had to return it. This 10 dollar knife is surprisingly smooth and if it breaks from hammering nails, i won't cry a bit.
Stopped in WM for a few things I couldn't get at HEB. They had 6 in the case, now 5. Took forever to find someone with a key, though.
Cursory look in the car in the parking lot. Feels light, like you'd expect from a cheap clone. Less positive of a lock engagement, compared to my old Enlan Bee I had years ago.
Might still grab a few more & keep them in the cars.
HUZZAH! After reading about this knife in early December and having constantly been on the lookout for same in all three of the nearest Wal Marts and finding them to be either out of stock or not available even after having been ordered, I finally scored two of them today! For the price they look good and are sharp out of the plastic, The number one dog and I will be headed out in the yard momentarily to do the happy dance of victorious joy.
I was in Walmart yesterday morning and caught one in stock. For ten bucks it seems to be a pretty good knife. I had to laugh because while looking around, all the scopes, binocs, and flashlights were in locked cases and the knife was just hanging there waiting to be grabbed.

All the knives & pistol/rifle ammo is locked up at the one where I found the knife in stock. But most shotgun ammo is out on the shelf
I was able to pick up a couple of these in the Trinidad Colorado Walmart when I stopped to stretch my hind legs. I think they are a pretty good knife for the price. I’m going to karma one in a separate thread.

I finally found an orange one in our local Walmart-mart. Feels a bit thin to me, but works ok. It will sit nicely in my vehicle until needed - I’ve spent $10 on less useful stuff…
I bought two to give as gifts to youngsters I know. The rack was full, several variations. Orange is a favorite of mine, easy to find when dropped, don't ask how I know.
