    Just bought 2 ganzo g732. i am also the owner of an endura 2 (aus8) that i have been carrying for more than 10 years... But i have to face the truth. the ganzo g732 is absolutely fabulous. the two i just received are flawless. perfect early lockup. perfect centered blade. razor sharp out of the box and when i say razor sharp they are absolutely razor sharp. the pins are lock tights (torx6 and torx8). the liner are thick and solid. the g10 handles are thick but with soft texture. when i inspected them i was laughing so hard that my wife asked me why. i told her that these fucking chinese are awesome. this g732 is a beauty. just ordered 2 more. the g732 box is nice too and silice gel inside to fight rust. for 15usd? are you fucking kidding me! lol

    Always consider your opinion on the knifed, you've tested! You pointed all details including scale colour, but didn't mentioned, there are two types of 732x.. Like your- with worm tracks, ) and like PM. Which on is better? Didn't find the answer... Trying to pick up the wright type of scale ... before purchasing.

    • @SpartanJohns
      @SpartanJohns  3 года назад

      I like the models "with work tracks". they are not too aggressive. But the plain scales feel just as good.
      I could not say which one is better. The ones with "worm tracks" are a bit more grippy. So if you're working with wet, greasy hands go for those handle scales

    I just ordered one on Gearbest.com, and I went with the OD green version - I have the G720 and I love it, but I got it in the orange G10 scales, and you're right - the orange scales do show dirt very easily and quickly. Other than that, I have no complaints about my G720 and love it to death. It's built like a tank! Thanks for the videos - keep making them, as I'm a new subscriber and look forward to seeing many more from you. Cheers!

      @dbkfrogkaty1 8 лет назад

      I kind of thought the blade shape on the Ganzo G7331-BK (stretch) was kind of odd. I can't convince myself to seriously consider one, especially since I have the G7291-BK and G7321-BK already. Seems like I would be buying the same knife.

    • @frederickj.7136
      @frederickj.7136 6 лет назад

      SpartanJohns, my Stretch (ZDP-189 version in "British Racing Green" -- well, not! ...but a VERY nice, neutrally complementary hue of green, nevertheless) is currently my most favored 'long blade' EDC folder. It is VERY versatile, lending itself to all sorts of effective grips: you can emulate the virtues of a shorter blade pretty easily, in practice. 3.42 ounces, measured.
      In addition, that FRN pattern on my edition of Stretch, anyway, is every bit as effective, but with noticeably less 'cheese grater' effect on the fingers than with my Stretch II, Native 5, or Manix 2 lightweight -- it's just more refined and upscale feeling. Note that the Stretch II is a very much different knife, despite the obvious superficial similarities. The Stretch is an EDC standout, despite some choil area flaws in design; the "II" is, as Spyderco themselves emphasize, a hunter's all-'round + game prep knife... more specialized. Either is quite noticeably upscale in finish & feel to some other popular Spyderco FRN/FRCP offerings, accounting well enough for the Stretch models' somewhat higher price. FYI.

    I think if you get new scales for the Endura, there some available in G10 (hard to find), the folder will completely change and feel a lot more stable. I sure wish Spyderco would make an Endura with G10 scales. I think it would be a total winner. As far as scales, I remember a Gerber folder, Gator, that has awesome scales, they are bulky and thick, but they are very comfortable.

    • @SpartanJohns
      @SpartanJohns  8 лет назад

      The Cara Cara 2 from Byrd has G10 scales I think...and some other cool features I wished I would have seen on the Endura.
      maybe they will improve this model as well, or at least offer ome G10 scales...

    Hey man nice video ,
    i really suggest you try the Ganzo G 7452 , it resembles the HK benchmade... Got my self the green model, my two buddies got the black and orange and all 3 knives are so consistent with such a solid lock while still remaining smooth. Would love to see what you think about it. I have the G720 as well as really think the g7452 is the same in terms of durability and a work horse. I have a Adamas, and other strong knives but why break them when I can use my Ganzo haha, cheers.

    • @SpartanJohns
      @SpartanJohns  7 лет назад

      I have one with black handle and blade. I have used it and i think that I will make a video about it..
      I like it! Not on par with the G720 because that one makes certain rough jobs easier..but what you said....durability...yes...i would agree...

  • @dbkfrogkaty1
    @dbkfrogkaty1 8 лет назад

    Always interested in your reviews man. I bought this knife from Gearbest. It took 27 days to arrive (about standard for me). Overall it's a solid knife, typical of my other Ganzo knives. Two things though: First, It is not as close in size to the Spyderco Endura as I thought it would be. It is slightly smaller, closer in size to my G7291. Second the blade on mine was and still is not centered. I have tried to center it but when I do it gets too hard to open. Like you, I don't need to flick this knife open. I put a little oil on the pivot and it's smoother now and closer to center. I do like that it has two bronze washers and the blade is nice and sharp. Also I do prefer my G7321-BK contoured scales.

    • @SpartanJohns
      @SpartanJohns  8 лет назад +1

      I never opened it up to see what kind of washers it has.... good news there!
      Mine came centered but I care little about that...ince this is a beater/teter so...at some point there will be little left of it...
      I prefer the thickness of the G732 handle to the one on the endura...I would like to see this model from Ganzo with a back lock or an axi lock....
      a back lock form ganzo...that would be intresting...and deep carry pocket clips

    • @dbkfrogkaty1
      @dbkfrogkaty1 8 лет назад

      I didn't open mine up either. I was taking some close up photos of it for a facebook post and saw the washers. A back lock version from Ganzo would be interesting. Have you seen the Brother 1601? It is a copy of the Spyderco Manix 2 XL for a lot less money. Even has a ball bearing lock! It's a big knife too, bigger than the G720! I posted photos of it on facebook.

    • @SpartanJohns
      @SpartanJohns  8 лет назад +1

      I have seen the Brother 1601. I glanced over it but I am not sure...I like Ganzo's because the HT is decent...there are lots of cool models...but I don't know how the HT is... a while ago I got a PM2 clone...knife worked well but the HT was awful so I decided that if I buy inexpensive china made knives I will go for ganzo...at least they got the HT right!

    Very well said. I have all 4 knives. Why beat up a $125 Spydie when you can abuse a Ganzo? I don't beat up my nicer knives, that's what the Ganzo is for. There is no sensuous connection with them like you get with Spyderco. It kinda just sits there like a high-end gas station knife. Was gonna get several when I first discovered them. Changed my mind.

    Just a warning if you you order from Gearbest. After ordering they sent me a request for very sensitive documents (pictures of my credit card, my ID carde etc.) claiming it was for my "customer security" (wtf! right?). When I refused they cancelled my order (promising a refund in several weeks, early days so I dont know if I will get it). Then they asked my to place the order again. I have reported this to my bank and contacted authorities. Needless to say I will not shop there again.

I have around 20 or so knives on order from them which I have not seen yet. Hopefully they will deliver some of them. A lesson was definately learned about not using paypal. Up until this happened I've had no reason to dislike gearbest and it would serve no purpose to make this up.

      As you can see I have an Endura and I like it very much. But I can't say anything negative about the G732. not at the price I bought it at.

      True... To me it makes sense to get a more inexpensive knife that just gets the job done...
      Also...getting a knife that has a good steel and a goot heat treatment for a low price allows me to test a few things without caring about the oney I lost since 15-20 $ is not really a lot of money

      So TRUE, my friend. Very good well placed choice of words to that comment! Besides, when was the last time any expensive higher end knife company bothered to say, "hi, we see you have a few of our knives & are a true fan. So we decided to give you a knife at half retail price because your commitment to us is so valuable"! YEAH RIGHT. I spend my money wisely...& I own knives from mostly the US BC I live there, but I'm not ABOVE buying a cheaper quality tool if it appeals to me...I still love ur vids brother.

      I would. I dont like paying twice the US price for already overpriced american tacticool junk (especially not if said junk is also made in china) and I have plenty better knives already. However this blade profile is great for food prep so its a good knife to have around the kitchen or to to beat on and do whatever other things you wouldnt use a $250-400 knife for.
