    Ganzo is dominating the budget knifemarket and I love what they're bringing out, always putting out new stuff and for what they are you can't get anything better! Well heat treated 440c, fit 'n finish is basically perfect, especially for the price, solid knives, and overall nice designs! Perfect birthday present even for non knifepeople!

    I have this knife in black, I was also kinda on the edge with such a cheap price on this knife, I AM BLOWN AWAY with this knife, I absolutely love this knife, the fit, finish, snap, centering, play, lock, ect. I mean everything on this $20 knife is fantastic, including the blade edge, I use it on a daily basis and that 440c is great. Holds an edge and haven't had any issues with it. Definitely recommend this one you won't be disappointed!

    LOL. I was playing with my G7211-GR when i saw this video. I have black one and couple of 7361s. I won 5 of these Ganzo switch blades. All very good quality, and 440c is good enough for my use. Thanks for introducing Ganzo blades. Sanrenmu and Ganzo are excellent value knives.

  • @Wavester64
    @Wavester64 8 лет назад

    *Very* similar to the Ganzo G7362-GR which I recently reviewed - but as I run both this video and that video against each other, I am noticing the differences. Nicely done!

    just a tip for you Jeff, you can carry in the corner of your back pocket and it will get stopped be the seam, plus, it frees room in your front pocket.

  • @lordmichael98

    I have a ganzo looks a little different but is basically the same thing. after a few months the spring broke I got a new knife because I love the thing. I also got a CRKT fossil (mini) which has a ball-bearing system to open fast with little to no wear both great knifes.

  • @revbikerbigd8664
    @revbikerbigd8664 8 лет назад

    clip is correct, if it opens, you be able to get it out, your way, blade open will not let you get it out of your pocket w/o cutting into the pocket!

    I love my G7211, you're not going to find a better knife. EDC for the last year and a half, and I use my knife at least twice a day. I purchased a second w/black handle and my first is just as tight as the new one. A few strokes on the steel keeps it shaving sharp.

  • @BAtadCrazy
    @BAtadCrazy 4 года назад

    Being an owner and carrier of this knife I suggest you carry it in your left pocket with a lanyard of some sort to pull it out with. You could get cut bad if it deployed accidentally in your right pocket. The chances are less in your left. The fact that you have to pinch it by the clip and the fact that the clip hangs up on the lip of your pocket causing you to grab lower on the knife to retrieve it greatly increases the chance of you deploying the knife before you have cleared your pocket. Believe me I know. Been there done that.

    It's a great knife, I own the black one. The only problem is that the coil spring will eventually break then it becomes harder to open. But it gets really sharp, holds an edge for a while and the edge is thin enough which is a problem with some Ganzo knives. I got mine for $25 shipped on Amazon (they are now $20)

    I got the 7472 automatic for $20 and I'm very happy with it. I also got a 7533 that's a piece of crap. Their axis lock is very stiff. I attempted to disassemble the knife and one of the scale screws just turns and won't come out. And the studs for the axis lock are too recessed. I emailed Ganzo and they haven't gotten back to me so I'm kind of sour on them. I'd certainly never buy one of their knives with their pos axis lock again. Benchmade knows how to do an axis lock...Ganzo...not so much.

  • @eddieking2976
    @eddieking2976 8 лет назад

    Yes I have this knife and must say it's worth the $30. I only have to problems. One the weight. For such a small knife it's a little heavy. Two the lanyard hole is inside your pocket during carry. Came very sharp however.

    • @nunyabiznis817

    Just bought this knife for 35 bucks last week lol. Went to Columbus Ohio for a yearly farm and science review show to look at some skid steer attachments, specifically a nice brush hog that I got and seen a knife stand there and checked this one out and like it so I got it bc it was cheap. After a week though of carrying and using I love it. It performs well. I prob paid a lil bit over for it but I'm ok with that. This is my cheapest knife by far and I like more than some of my 100 dollar plus knives.

    I have two of these. The G711-BK & G712-BK and I love them both and they are great knives for the money but I disagree with you on the non-safety part with tip down. If It would open in your pocket(which it won't) I'd rather have the point facing down than up because you won't poke your finger if you didn't know it opened. Also did you see the G736? I like the design more but mine has had some quality problems and isn't as good as the others two.

  • @PDXbikeman

    These can be ordered through FastTech....$17.92 includes USPS First Class shipping once it reaches the US. These are shipping out of Hong Kong so it still might take a few weeks to get to you. Search for Ganzo on their website, they carry Ganzo's entire line of knives. I ordered three of these. As Jeff says, excellent quality for the price. For the money I was impressed.

    I disagree with you on the pocket clip orientation. I used to love my Sog zoom. But one day it opened in my pocket and I did not feel it. I reached in to grab my keys and sliced the hell out of my finger because it was "tip up". I never carried that knife again. Buy this one I don't see that being a problem. Granted it had a safety and I could have used that but I had never had that problem before that day.

  • @jeffwindle2417
    @jeffwindle2417 8 лет назад

    your other video on the ganzo knife. just a few thoughts on "cheap" knifes I get the Wal-Mart branded $4.10 that's with tax here in ca. I get them all the time because I mostly give them away to people who cant afford something to carry for basic protection or are scared of firearms. cheap knifes are great they work for edc. these ganzo knifes are more expensive in the area of cheap Chinese knife they also seem to be worse in some cases. blade wobble & junk safety.another cheap knife that is spring assisted are "precision point" from big5 they run about 10.00 and are comparable to low end Kershaw's. the thing about these are most people want a edc tool for basic tasks. ex: opening items or a "get off me knife" so I think if it hold up to everyday carry, holds a ok edge & doesn't fall apart after a month. its a good buy. take a look at the precision point knifes they are on of the best 10.00 knifes on the market & are razor sharp.note: auto knifes are in most places legal to have but not carry. like here in ca. can carry only 2'' auto's which is bs.

  • @shreddedreams
    @shreddedreams 8 лет назад

    I don't think removing the spring would work..
    it wouldn't have any spring to push it up to the frame, to a point where you could press it or even to the point where it isn't automatically depressed in that position ..

    Why the metal bolsters though? Do they serve any functional purpose? I have been hunting for a full G10 grip auto for a while now. Though there are some, definitely not the majority. Considering the ease of manufacturing G10 scales with steel liners nowadays, this really baffles me.

      The cops don't really care what kind of knife you carry as long as it's not a fixed blade.

    If you understood metallurgy you would know the weight of a blade dose indicate its quality, and heavier is generally better. Blades can be made lighter and of high quality--I am not aware of any knife maker doing this.

      Most of the weight is in the frame and scales buddy, not the blade

      I was referring to the blade alone. As for the statement on blade weight he doesn't know wherein he speaks.

      +Anon Zero he wasn't referring to the weight of the blade, he meant the entire knife
