I have several Gonzo knives. I have BMs and I found that the Gonzo has a equal fit and finish. They are a solid well made knife. The action is smoother than my BM.

Frankly I've been consistently impressed by Ganzo every time I've gotten one. And while people often call them clones they never try to counterfeit the work of others even the more similar designs are clearly labeled and from what I've seen have clear enough differences in build that you couldn't be fooled into believing they were any other knife on the market if you were trying to check to see if it was a real 940 or Delica/Byrd/whatever.

This channel and these products have what I refer to the “dollar store effect”. Many thing I see here, I don’t need at all, but “for that price, why the hell not?!” Great idea finding value off a shipping mistake!

The Ganzo's are blowing my mind how well they're made👍 I just found this channel and I'm liking it! I'm subscribing‼👍👍✌

What a great little budget hidden gem. Thanks for sharing 👍

Edit: I just went and checked this out on Amazon and the black version is listed at only $19.95, so man what a great knife for under 20. So good 👍

I've own this knife for quite some time, it's decent overall. Ganzo's "440c" has been found to be 8cr13mov as well as 440c in the past. I doubt it was intentional vs them just taking low priced steel they thought was 440c though. It's ok for the $ even in the event that one does get 8cr instead of 440c. Handle is a little small for me with that triangle at the end. Springs on the axis lock came to me way too strong, but softened up a little bit (enough for it to be useable) after I jammed the lock fully open (Iirc I used the little rods from a q-tip I cut up) and left it for a week or so. It's fine for a knife that you're going to abuse or to loan out and not care much about. I prefer the 7601 (also on bearings) & 7611 (on bronze washers) to this one though.

I got quite a few Ganzos …I also have a bunch of other knives.
And I have to say Ganzo is hands down the best budget knives out there.
They are very fidgety 😬
G727 is my favorite

Ahh, the olden days! When 440C was king and things like 5160, 52100, D2, and ATS-34 were the signs of custom handmade.

Just received my first GANZO FIREBIRD KNIFE TODAY, (WEDNESDAY APRIL 5TH 2023) from Amazon. Mine is model # F759M-GR and I really like it alot. It also has 440c steel and I only paid $18 and change total with tax included.

A funny trivia point is many people love to trash 440C steel, but they fail to remember that 440C was so good it was called a Super Steel back in the day nothing really changed about it just our perception and eventually the high-end super steels of today are going to eventually be replaced with the next flavor of steel and people will talk trash about them. I am starting to believe that some of the hype on the latest greatest knife steel is just marketing to get you to spend hundreds on their new blades.

I had one of these in the blue/grey color. My only problem was the tip would stick out a tiny bit when closed because the tension didn't hold the blade all the way in. Tip is so close to the edge of the handle. Cut my hand a couple times because of it.

I have that model as well as a few more Ganzo offerings. I bought one as a knife to throw in a checked bag to go to Oregon. Used it a lot and used it to baton through some wood for a fire pit at the Air b&b we stayed at. The knife took it like a boss. It was still sharp and tight. I hated 440C until that Ganzo. Bought a few more models. I have a ton of Spyderco’s, Bechmade’s, etc. Ganzo hits wat above their price point. No reason to not have a decent knife in your car and they make great gifts for your non knife friends.

[TheGrenadier]

Ganzo does a decent product for the money; probably you get more actually. For many people around the world with a tight budget this is a fine go to.

[mingkeatng]

I have the colour grey but it looks more like European Blue than grey which is perfectly match with blue jeans. The closing position already looks classy to me and it just meant to be most people EDC, even those work in the office.

[DogLegDoug]

Ganzo is awesome and a lot of people don't like to admit it haha

[Torqd_Off]

You're absolutely correct about everything in the video... better known knife companies can't compete. If more people were aware. The price to quality is outstanding. Big name manufacturer's should be ashamed of the price they charge... for the little bit better blade steel it just doesn't justify the way higher additional price point. People need to wake up. I could go into a major rant about cost compared to demand and the knife community paying outrageous for the privilege of just a name. There's certain "GRAIL" knives that I originally would have really wanted, but now I don't even look at them!!!

[MoxTactical]

“There is nothing to complain about” couldn’t say it better myself! Nice video in this piece brother!!

[geeknoid]

The only dilemma I have when purchasing a budget knife is do I buy Ganzo, Petrified Fish, or Sincut because they are all fantastic I think PF and Sincut are upgraded Ganzos but they are all fantastic and great buys. I think one of the best actions I have seen on a budget stock knife was a Petrified Fish PF818 at only $28 bucks

[raybo]

Appreciate your unbiased review. Indeed, there nice “budget” knives out there.

[xiaoyu]

Thanks for the review, I want an edc knife but I cannot buy it since I dont live in the US and somehow they do not offer shipping such items (including leatherman) here. But I did get a purple classic SD for my mom from Amazon. Not sure how it works. Anyway it looks amazing and great color, I'd keep it just for the heck of it! (though I know you are trying to slim down lol)
