Firebird GANZO FH61-GB Pocket Folding Knife Razor Sharp D2 Steel Blade Ergonomic G10 Anti-Slip Handle with Clip Hunting Fishing Camping Gear Outdoor Folder EDC Pocket Knife (Green)

First a general comment about Ganzo knives — I bought my first one some time ago and was astounded by just about everything about it. You can’t buy a better EDC knife for three or four times the $25 it cost. The action, in particular, is amazing.So, when I spotted this interesting looking little Ganzo I was immediately attracted. It’s a great size, the ergos are great, the blade shape is unique and functional and yes, the action is amazing. The blade steel is decent (D2) and it came really sharp. So, if you’re looking for a really good smaller EDC knife that comes at an unbelievable price, look no further. For those who poo poo Ganzo knives - get over it.

I'm a knife enthusiast who tries to find the cheapest knives with the best value.Let's break this into categories.Steel. 5/5Not sure if it's real D2 but it is good steel as far as I can tell. Takes a nice edge and is sturdy.Blade shape. 3/5Honestly doesn't do anything for me, it's not as effective as a more traditional shape in my opinion, but it's not really bad. 4/5 once I fixed it a Little.Weight 5/5Anything 3.5 oz or less is a good EDC weight. This knife is 3.46 and feels balanced.How does it feel to carry 4/5Noticable but still comfortable in the pocket.Clip 4/5Surprising sturdy. Nice deep carry. No option to move around though for ambidextrous carry which knocks it down a point.Handle 5/5Light and easy to hold on too, nice color options.Construction 6/5This is what took it home for me. Checked all the boxes. Balanced. Smooth open and close but no fear of accidentally opening. Nice groove for choking up on the blade. Thumb notches on the back. A really well thought out knife.Value 5/5For 25 bucks this is about as good as it gets.

This is a fantastic functioning knife. G10 Handles feel a little on the cheap side, but other than that, very smooth operation. Solid lockup. I have medium-big hands and this knife is a little short in the hand, but not bad. My pinkie finger can barely grab the end of the grip. It does fit in the small pocket of your jeans very well. Clip is a little tall, but not terrible. The detents on this knife are excellent, flipping with finger or thumb is a breeze. Has a nice audible click when it locks. Blade is very sharp from the factory. Huge sharpening choil. Overall an excellent value for the money.

Buy this knife, it’s a great value.I’m really impressed. I like almost everything about this little blade. For the money, it’s pretty phenomenal. Great quality, sharp, incredibly smooth action, easy to open for medium hands. Bigger hands, eh I don’t think so. This isn’t a big knife. It is thick though. The finger choil is my least favorite part but I also hate it on the Spyderco Native, so it isn’t only this knife. I tend to hate finger choils unless it’s on a very small knife like the Cold Steel Tuff Lites or the small Spyderco lil native. They just aren’t for me. They do give more control for precision cutting though and offer more knife grip for a larger hand. I just don’t love the loss of cutting edge. But again, that isn’t about this knife specifically. This Ganzo is really high quality. I’m going to use it a lot and test out this steel. I know some YouTubers have had the steel tested and it has come back as D2. Not sure of the Rockwell, but I think it was around acceptable ranges. I mean this is a $25 knife and it’s awesome. I’ll probably get more. I definitely recommend it!!

First off, I've seen some doubts as to whether or not the blade is really D2 or not. A knife reviewer on YouTube sent multiple Ganzo knives into a metal fabricator who has the equipment to test both steel composition and hardness. All of them were proven to be true D2 with a Rockwell hardness of 61-62.This is my first Ganzo purchase, I usually prefer to buy from American companies, but I have to say I am very impressed with this knife. The blade has perhaps one of the sharpest factory edges I've ever seen. Normally, even with a quality edge I do a little fine tuning on a new knife, but it would be pointless on this one. Blade centering is either perfect, or so close it would take a magnifying glass to detect any deviation. The opening action is buttery smooth, and the blade falls shut with the slightest movement. Detent is near perfect. Fit and finish are both more than acceptable for the price point.As with just about any knife, there are a couple of minor improvement that could have been made. First off the clip sticks up a little too high of the handle scales especially at the butt end. This does cause some noticable ergonomic issues when holding the knife in a standard grip. When choking up on the blade and using the forward finger choil, it's not nearly as bad however, as the clip fits into the hollow of the palm. This brings me to my second issue. There's some very comfortable jimping at the back of the spine, but when using the choil, my thumb is resting past the jimping. If they had extended it another half inch or so, it would have really allowed a user to get a great purchase along the back of the blade.A couple of minor complaints aside this is a great choice for a compact EDC knife, and I'll most likely be buying more Ganzos from the FH line, either for myself, or as inexpensive, but high quality gifts.

I was drawn to the blade design from the start. The G10 color is quite nice as well. Once in my hand, i cannot believe how solid and robust it is. Blade is spot on centered. Of course I did the sharpness test with paper and in seconds, I had confetti. So SHARP! I wear size Large gloves and able to hold this knife comfortably. The detente is perfect and I like how it almost drops shut with 2 shakes. A little oil will probably get this to close much more smoothly in time. I like knives with 1/2" or more thickness.I have knives from many other brands and this one will be my daily EDC . Definitely a keeper and great fidget knife. So affordable for D2 material.
