Ganzo Firebird FB7651-BK Pocket Folding Knife 440C Stainless Steel Blade G10 Anti-Slip Handle with Clip Hunting Fishing Camping Folder Outdoor EDC Knife (Black)

I know have 5 different knifes from this brand, and they are really great for the price point. They feel well build and are great for work knife. They don't hold an edge as long as some of my higher price knives, but that is to be expected for the price point. Would definitely recommend this brand to anyone looking for a good knife that won't hurt the soul if you lose it!

So this is my first forray into the Chinese knife market outside of the well established brands that have productuon facilities there (i.e. Byrd from Spyderco) and I am impressed. The knife is well made (at least from first impressions) and well designed. I have yet to take it apart as I will do that at a later date to check tolerances and see how much if any loctite is used. All I did so far was remove it from the packaging and wipe the blade with some WD-40. I will be carrying this for the next couple of weeks to see how it is. There are a couple of immeadiate standout features that are obvious right out of the gate:1. Caged ball bearings.2. Excellent fit and finish, I would expect this of a knife twice the price.3. Great looking design ( not sure how original it is but it sure is attractive).4. Decent deepish carry pocket clip.5. Good sharpness out of the box ( blade is ground a little uneven but I almost always end up reprofiling blades).6. Great texture on the G10 scales, not too aggressive.7. Fully skeletonized liners to remove weight.

Update: I owned/carried this knife for over a month and like it more than when it was new. The fit/finish is very good, and the action is exceptional - as good as any knife I own. I've been able to keep the blade shaving sharp. My only complaint - and it an extremely minor one - is that the blade is very, very slightly off-center (0.5-1.0mm) and no amount of fiddling has corrected it. I actually think it may be the way the blade is ground, because when the knife is closed, the tip is centered above the backspacer but a very tiny bit closer to the show side of the knife. This is one of my favorite EDC choices and I like it better than a Benchmade 940.Original Review: You can spend a lot more, but why would you? Ganzo manages to build a very fine knife for a bargain price: near-perfect fit/finish, accurately centered, sharp as a razor - and the action is as good as any Spyderco or Benchmade. If you are someone who is only impressed by a grossly overpriced brand name, go ahead and throw your money away, or get a Ganzo and then buy a few more, and you'll probably still save money compared to the over-priced 'brand name' knives out there.

Great knife at a great price

Needs about a mm shaved off the thickness.

This is my first knife by Ganzo and I'm very impressed. The build quality leaves nothing to be desired. This knife is small, light (99 grams) and sharp as hell out of the box. I love the design. The movement of the ball bearing is smooth and almost completely free or resistance when the axis lock is held open, which leads me to my only gripes about this knife...The springs on the thumb studs for the axis lock are a bit strong for my liking. It takes most of my finger strength to operate it from one side or the other. You need a finger and a thumb on either side in order to pull it back completely with ease. Just makes it a bit harder than necessary to open and close but it does seem to get easier with time. That could either just be the knife breaking it in or me finding the right stechnique for the axis lock.Oh yeah, and it's all for $25.9/10

Love Ganzo knives attention to quality all around. I have several all work like day one . Love em all . I try to buy all American made knives . Now only get Ganzo . Solid and I don’t feel bad having a knife I can use and abuse and holds up for this price .just got a back up incase I lose this one .

Gave this knife to a friend, he thought it was a expensive knife and didn't want to take it had to tell him it's a $20 knife and he didn't believe me, showed him the price and he took it, he loves it he works at a farm and uses its daily
