I couldn't believe the price point for such a wonderful knife. Well worth it! It has the right amount of heft and weight and great cutting ability. Great g10 handle and the blade holds the edge well. The only thing I would change is make the pocket clip a tip down clip.
Excellent build quality. Blade is centered, lockup is solid, open construction for easy cleaning, and light weight for carry. But be aware, this is an assisted knife. The description doesn't indicate that
I'm loving this for my work knife. I usually carry a custom griptilian and have several benchmade axis locks. If you fear loosing high end knives and are a fan of axis lock. This is a great sturdy knife.
Let me start off by saying that i own a mini and full size Benchmade Griptilian. Now onto this knife, I gotta say i really like it! This knife arrived to me extremely sharp. The springs on the axis lock have just the right amount of tension and the lock up is very solid. The knife has a good heft to it and the handle scales have a light to medium grip, i would say about the same traction as on my Rat 1. I was reluctant to buy one of these knives because reviews have been 50/50, but to be honest the only thing i did to my knife that i received was loosen the pivot screw just a tad bit. Now the blade deploys really fast and effortless. The closing is very smooth as well. As i sit here opening and closing this knife and then doing the same with my Griptilians, I have to say that for 16 bucks this knife performs just as good! Don't get me wrong i'll still take my Benchmade! lol...but definetly a good buy for everyday use or as a back up knife.
This Ganzo was perfect out the box, easy to flip blade open and smooth unlocking with one hand operation. Smoother than my other Ganzo's. The guy at the factory who fitted and finished this one needs a raise. Handles were matched perfectly to the frame and no mismatch to the alignment could be found. Wish they were all this nice.
Great knife, especially for the price. I like it so much I also ordered the Ganzo G720-G. Hope it is as nice as this one.
Very good product. Just added to my collection, but hadn't really put it to a test. It has a great feel, quality and workmanship. I love this knife and will be ordering others.
I love the profile of this blade and while it wasn't as sharp as it could have been, it is still well worth the price.
I did not know what to expect. I thought this might be just a cheap knock-off knife made in China. This is a quality knife. The ergonomics of the handle are perfect for my hands. The opening of the blade is smooth and quick. I love the locking mechanism. Came well sharpened out of the box. The blade design is nice. There is a nice smooth curve on the back of the blade near the handle that is perfect for my thumb to do some precise carving and cutting. This makes a great camping, wood working, and utility knife. The curve of the blade would also lend itself for skinning game like deer.
I have several Ganzo knives. I think they are a great value. This one needed just a minor sharpening to make it nearly perfect. I also adjusted the pivot to my liking.
I like the Chinese knives making their way to us here. All the quality without the price.
I own 6 ganzo knives. This is my favorite. It has grippy g10 like i love, great blade shape and size, and the axis lock is easy to disengage (thank you finally ganzo got it right) ! Please if you are on the fence about this knife you should spend the money and treat yourself to an 80 dollar knife for 17 dollars. Of course there are some people who wished it had some amazing steel but i think that the 440c is tough and holds a great edge. I have found that ganzo sharpens at around a 50 deg angle, (25 deg inclusive) which is weird but i can get it freakin sharp- and it came sharp too.
Good build quality for the price, and the switchblade action works well. In case anybody wants to know, this knife is a full-auto, switchblade opening folder, Most likely it is illegal to carry in any state in the US, so be careful if you buy one. I got one of each model while available, the price is excellent for the product. Despite being made in China, the quality is excellent, very sharp out of the box. They are a great addition to any knife collection. Get one while you can!
Bang for the buck is there. Switch out the washer, the use a clear plastic washer. Go phosphor bronze for washers. Beautiful lockup. Zero blade play. Looks a lot more expensive than it really is. The blade comes sharp enough to shave right out the box, that's been holding it's edge for over 6 months. Great buy.
Love this knife. for the price it's damn well built and functions well. The style is great and pocket clip let's it sit deep in the pocket. I actually purchased two of these for my own collection, and bought two for my friends. I'm pretty sure it's safe to say you won't be disappointed if you get this knife.
Great knife, my current EDC. This has a great button opening mechanism with an easy close using the same. Good blade length and tip for most daily jobs. Would have liked a finger hold but that is personal preference. Also the price point is great for such a well made knife.
Initially, I was a little bummed out about this product. Packaging was great, nice heft, looked to be good quality. When I pressed the button however, the knife only opened about 3/4 of the way. I played around with it the first day, working the blade back and forth hoping to loosen things up. By the end of the day nothing had changed. Gave it a little shot of WD40, worked it some more and gave up for the day. The next morning I hit the button and it snapped into place. It's worked like a champ since. May have had a few burrs hindering the opening. That aside, this is a very nice knife for the price. Razor sharp. The tip is very sharp so watch yourself. Thumbs up.
