Review: Fantastic EDC blade - The GANZO FH13-SS is the best value when it comes to a folder i.e pocket knife one can currently buy. One has to physically hold this knife to have the perspective necessary to gauge the value of this knife. The weight size, mechanicals and quality that go into designing the GANZO FH13-SS is astonishing for the money. Upon inspecting the knife you’ll notice thick stainless steel frame liners that ensure that there will be little to no lateral play or wobble on the blade even when forcing it. The detent mechanism and liner lock is thick and solid; this ensures safe locking of the blade under heavy use. The blade design is fantastic with a high hollow grind drop point, the steel is authentic D2 tool steel with an HRC of 60+ which is a great durable tough steel. The heat treatment is good for the price and type of steel used. The steel is much better than 440A or 420J or 420, 8CR13MOV counterparts, just make sure to keep the knife away from salt water and ensure it stays cleaned after use. The opening mechanism is flip tab based and it is quick and responsive thanks to builtin bearings. The clip is a deep carry type clip, serves well as an EDC knife for work or formal dress with the tip down. For the price there is no way you can go wrong with this knife, as 20 year knife collector I can definitely recommend this flipper.
Review: You'll Love It! Top Sub-$100 Folder--High Quality, Well Made, Precision Knife - Amazing blade! I've had blades that cost 2-4 times this that weren't as nice. On the sub-$50 (probably sub-$100) market you won't find a nicer folder, assuming you're ok with somewhat slick stainless scales and lack of thumb studs. I've been a fan of Ganzo/Firebird knives for a few years now. This one has exceeded all expectations. It is an incredibly solid, aesthetically pleasing, well-made, folder, manufactured from great materials. I'm amazed Ganzo can bring this to market at this price. The bearings are smooth--melted butter smooth--and flips with a slight flick. Don't worry about it opening in your pocket though; the detent that holds it on place is strong enough to keep it together--just the right balance of tension where needed and lack of friction where friction isn't desirable. The blade can ONLY be opened with the flipper. There aren't any thumb studs or holes to help. It's also not assisted open. All of that is on purpose, designed to make this a slim, simple, lightweight blade that slips in your pocket without catching on anything or weighing you down. The clip lets the blade sit low on the pocket. You might just forget it's there. I'd personally prefer at least a single side, reversible thumb stud. Unfortunately, that would require either more blade real estate, or more milling on the grips to allow a stud to ride low into the scales. All in all, given the extremely low profile this blade attains, I l can easily forgive the lack of a stud, which would also probably ruin the knife's perfect clean-line aesthetics. The blade is well centered with secure lockup (30% or so connection). No adjustment was needed. It was simply perfect. I am a huge fan of the handle lock--simpler, fewer parts, more locking material connecting with the blade than liner locks, and generally more stable and solid. The scales are nice and thin. Some Kershaw blades with metal scales, by comparison, are way heavier than needed. These are thin enough to make for a nicely weighted knife, but don't sacrifice their stability. This is solid without bulk; study without the weight. The scales ARE a bit too slick--I'd be worried handling it with wet or oily hands--but there's sufficient, solid jimping at the top and bottom to handle it securely under normal circumstances. If they'd aggressively stonewashed the grips it would be perfect. The blade itself is one of, if not the, sharpest blades I've seen on a factory blade ever. It's also a great length for any cutting chores you might encounter and not so large as to raise eyebrows I'm mixed company (though too long to bring into a government building of any variety. Doubt I'd use it for hunting, like the description says, since it'd gum up the bearings, but for general cutting chores this is a fantastic piece of kit. The profile is simple, elegant, sturdy, and completely functional. That actually sums up the whole knife. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good EDC blade and doesn't have to worry about blade length. AS FOR THE STEEL: I have no way of knowing what the steel is, but I doubt it's really D2. D2 is a proprietary powdered metallurgy semi-stainless tool steel produced by Crucible Steel in the US. It's fairly pricey and fairly nice. Also fairly hard to machine well. For Ganzo to import the pricey steel from the US, follow the heat treat protocols, and reship to the US for sale would make this more an $80-100 knife on the cheap end. Ganzo usually calls its stainless knives "440C", which they aren't (I asked). I can't remember offhand the long string of elements/numbers that comprise the Chinese equivalent, but that's the actual steel they use (the Chinese-made equivalent, not an expensive steel imported from the US). It's the same steel from a chemical composition perspective, but like D2, 440C is a brand name. Most people recognize "440C" but wouldn't recognize the Chinese brand. I get why they do it, though I don't agree with it. That's the long explanation for why I suspect this is a Chinese equivalent steel, at least in its general composition. I doubt it's a true powdered metallurgy steel, since that, and the cryogenic heat treat protocols, are what really make D2 a higher-end AND pricey steel. If it IS JUST the same composition, it will still be a GREAT steel, it just won't have as fine of carbides, making it easier to sharpen than true D2, and also less able to hold an edge, but it WILL be generally better in nearly all ways than 440C (or the Chinese equivalent). I DO wish Ganzo and other Chinese manufacturers would use the name of the ACTUAL steel in its blades, but not much I can do about that. Nor can I be certain it's NOT D2. Just go into this with your eyes open and expectations adjusted accordingly.

## Features

- Firebird FH12-SS pocket knife is ... simple and tasteful. This is exactly the knife that really looks cool. All-metal construction, combined with the processing of Stonewash leave an indelible impression even on those who are far from the knife subject
- The D2 steel blade of the folder has a classic form (Normal blade), which, in combination with the smooth sharpening of the cutting edge, is perfect for performing a wide variety of jobs, including those where you need to make significant physical efforts
- One of the key features of the pocket knife Firebird FH12-SS is the presence of a rolling bearing system. They allow the blades to literally "fly out" of the handle. Just clicked on the "fin" and everything, you got a full-fledged knife in your hands. The speed of opening the Firebird FH12-SS can be compared with some models equipped with the Button-lock lock
- The handle of the folder is made of stainless steel. This results in a pleasant weight while holding. There is a plastic backspacer with a large notch, allowing you to confidently hold the knife and reverse grip. Just below the backspaser is a lanyard fixture. This opening is rather large and closed from the blade. On one of the dies of the handle mounted metal clip. She sits tight and almost completely hides the knife in her pocket.
- Firebird FH12-SS is a modern folding EDC knife with all the attendant features. It looks stylish, it is durable and wear-resistant. This knife can surely be called a universal working tool. And, well, he also looks very cool and is built on the top five with a plus

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A quality knife at very low price
*by C***T on March 1, 2021*

I bought this Ganzo knife as a light every day carry tool with strength as the primary quality. The knife comes with a 3.5 inch D2 steel blade and stainless steel handle with frame lock. the whole package has a nice Black-Stonewash finish. I was truly amazed at the quality, rock solid lock-up with perfect fit and finish. The D2 blade has been tested and has a hardness of 62 Rc , it certainly cuts very well and keeps its edge. It has fast flipper opening due to roller bearings on the blade pivot. For only $28 and change this is amazing value. The only down side is the carry clip which only has one position. Not as issue for me as I usually take it off and use a belt pouch on a knife of this size.
