A good fun knife. It looks exactlt like an ontario rat folder, but with an axis type lock. Lock is similar to an axis-lock, but bar does not engage very far when blade is opened. Nevertheless it feels good in hand. The handle is devoid of finger grooves making it feel very good for multitudes of grip styles. Studying the camo design, the acual printed pattern is BELOW a layer of resin! This would make design last a whole lot longer versus being printed right on the tactile surface of the handle. The blade is 440C and had somewhat of a dull and uneven edge grind from the factory - which I promplty fixed with a coarse bench stone and some stropping. Blade now "bites" better for cutting tasks. Would definitely recommend this folder for light medium duty work where losing it wouldn't be a huge pain.

Nice knife!!!!! quality 100% who cares if it came from china most usa made brand knives have some series or all made in china or somewhere else , and they print china somewhere on the blade, this knife has no foreign markings on it and is really sharp I cut my nose and a ear off with it straight out of the box::))
I have a LOT of knives... Other Ganzos, Kershaw, SOG, Benchmade, Gerber etc. But this is one of my favorite EDC knives. Size, function, blade, pocket clip, quality, and all for about $15! Going to purchase a spare too. I can't afford to do that with a Benchmade!
Ganzoknife.comHello Howard! It's really nice to read such a good comments which are written by people who have collection of well-known-brand knives and they're finding that our Ganzo products are so cool, available and great! Thank you for your feedback!
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.
Ganzoknife.comHello Gerld! G704 has its popularity because of fantastic high quality of build! Perfect knife for many tasks and problems. Thanks a lot for your feedback!
Can't believe this knife cost so little. Quality MUCH higher than it's price. Razor sharp out of the box. My new everyday work knife
MarkoI own 4 ganzo knives, quality is great ,price is awesome for that quality. If ganzo continue making such great products at that great price i will buy a lot lot ganzos in the future... Love my ganzo g704. Congratulations Ganzo on great job and stay on that path.
A good Chinese knockoff of a Benchmade knife. I got this knife because of the price and that it has a blade lock similar to those made by Benchmade Knives. I got it for a "What if" spare knife. I am very pleased with the knife that I got and I have no problem recommending this knife for a good budget lock blade knife.
Excellent product. I bought a second one. Doesn 't have locking blades, every thing else is top rated even the caes is really nice.
I will add that the people that trash Ganzo knives cause they are Chinese and "not made in the USA" are the same people buying IPhones, Japanese televisions, imported cars, and foreign made microwaves. These Ganzo knives are excellent and a fraction of the price of Benchmades. The quality of the knife is excellent and was razor sharp out of the box. Highly recommended.
an honest customer :)It is a good knife owing to its price/quality ratio, however, if you want a high quality knife, this is definitely not a knife for you. On the other hand, if you are only looking for the pleasure of opening your mailbox and discovering a new and functional knife for a relatively low price, or if you want to use a knife without fear of damaging it, I recommend this knife. Although a D2 steel blade would be a very good quality improvement. Also, it would be nice to be able to order it with a black coating on the edge but this is only a detail. Sorry if I have commited mispells, I am french.
Ganzo knifes as always are great, this one is no exception. Great quality. Handle is made well, blade is finished well, steel is machined nicely and lockup is solid.
Great knife and a great price. It doesn't matter what color the handle is, this knife seems to have the perfect fit. Mine also came razor sharp and the 440C has stayed sharp far longer than any 8cr13Mov or AUS-8 knives that I own. If this knife had an American logo on it, you would pay closer to $60.00 for it and see the nutcases brag about it on the blade forums as something created by Jesus (like all SpydercoBenchmades, right?).
I'm a frequent traveler, and this knife has earned a permanent spot in my backpack. It's not only great for cutting fruits and vegetables on the go but also for handling unexpected situations.
