Robust and foldable, this is an everyday carry knife (EDC) designed for reliability. The blade, featuring a Drop-Point profile, is crafted from high-carbon D2 tool steel, known for its outstanding resistance to wear. A flat grind has been applied to the blade, while a satinized finish provides a semi-matte appearance.
Effortless deployment is ensured by the bearing-mounted main axis and flipper, with the flipper doubling as a cross guard to prevent the hand from slipping forward. Once opened, the blade is locked securely with a tough and reliable Liner Lock, and safety during use is further enhanced by jimping on the spine of the blade for a secure thumb grip.
The handle, ergonomically shaped for comfort, is constructed from G10 laminate made of fiberglass and epoxy resin. Reinforcement is provided by a jimped backspacer that matches the handle's color. A steel clip makes it easy to attach the knife to a belt, pocket, or gear.

Beautiful and solid piece of knife. The blade made of D2 steel combined with a solid and ergonomic handle is pleasing to the eye. I once had a version with a brown handle, which I returned. The black one with a carbon insert is amazing. I recommend it.
Knife is very nice, the carbon fiber in the scales shimmers beautifully and is perfectly fitted. When I took it out of the packaging I was surprised because the blade is black and in the photo it was uncoated, but that's fine, it won't rust. It's a bit heavy, but the handle fits even a large hand. The mechanics and finish are of a very high standard. I recommend it if you are looking for a heavy, beautiful, well-made folder. I am satisfied.
Very good build quality. Appearance too. Sharpness retention for D2 is, let's say, average. There are budget knives from this steel that hold an edge better. The knife is handy. Practical. Very solid. I have been using it for several years as EDC (I bought it when the brand was completely unknown here so it was very cheap). It hasn't developed any play. The pointy tip works perfectly for opening boxes or packages made of tough plastic (e.g., blisters). Massive and solid, it inspires confidence. Drawbacks? Weak clip - I caught it on something once and it bent. Since then it doesn't grab as well. Too weak for such a massive knife. Weight - the knife is heavy (many folders of this size weigh 50-70% of its weight). You feel it in your pocket. And if you use the clip and don't take the knife out before removing your pants, it will almost certainly fall out (about 170 grams!). I can't count how many times it fell out. And how many times when dressing I was looking for it on the floor or where I put my pants. For this reason, I often carry it in a hip bag. At this point, I am looking for a replacement. What am I looking for? A lighter knife. If weight is not an issue for you or if you need a really solid folder (the blade is almost 4mm thick!) you will be satisfied. It also fits perfectly to a large hand.
An amazing combination of quality and price. The equivalents of American knife brands, which are also mainly produced in China from similar materials, are much more expensive... And here we have an original Chinese product, designed by David Chan. A great knife, excellently designed and made. There's no need to think it over, just take it :)
I unpacked it and... I admire it. This knife has everything: steel, mechanics, elegance, and at the same time you really feel that piece of "steel" in your hand. The combination of handle colors, attention to details (liners polished to a shine, logo on the screw, autograph engraving on the clip). Little things, but they please. The clip is single-position, you could nitpick about that. Oh, and a nice cleaning cloth included, because Ganzo added a whistle. Maybe some Chinese guy watched "Football Poker"? Joking aside, the knife is phenomenal, and the 'Out of stock' notice on the website says something.
