Pros & Cons
Pros
The blade shape is wonderful; the combination of a full flat grind and being almost entirely belly (a knife's belly is the curved portion) means that it just wants to glide through whatever you're cutting. It’s only 440c steel, which requires a bit mo... Read More
C blade steel, g10 scales, and crossbar lock are features that you don't typically see in a knife under $50. Takes some time to break in the locking mechanism, but after a week it works very well. The new lock is tough but breaks in and really complim... Read More
This model is my second favorite ganzo folding knife. I wear a medium size glove and this is a pretty big knife for me as a edc. Great budget knife i enjoy carrying as edc and the blade is at a very nice length.
The 440c has great heat treatment and i touch it up monthly on a strop. Extremely ergonomic and comfortable to use. The clip is at a great location for the pocket.
I think the 440c is much better than the 8cr13mov that the similar “spider” knives come with. If spyderco is mercedes then ganzo is toyota. I have it pictured with my spyder co mannix in black and another great ganzo i just bought.
Cons
The bad:bar lock spring is very stiff, hard to move. Pivot is tight and blade doesn't swing freely even after trying to adjust pivot screw. It’s extremely uncomfortable to flip it open or closed.
Highlights
Quality
The steel has held up for the last few months of daily use and the thumb lock is nicely worn in now
Solid handle crisp blade lock and sharp
The cutouts inside the g10 handles that the springs sit in are too small and the springs rub the g10 which causes the mechanism... Read More
It’s not a flea marketgas station knife that falls apart after a few weeks
Price
This brand is a great value for what you get
Would definitely recommend this knife if you are on a budget
For this price you can’t get anything better
With that said there is nothing not to like about this knife at 21
Shipping
It arrived adequately sharp and it was easy to bring it to razor sharpness
Packaging/appearance
I have it pictured with my spyderco mannix in black and another great ganzo i just bought
The knife was packaged in a nice box similar to what is typically used with quality knives
I bought another one for back packing
Competitiveness
I think the 440c is much better than the 8cr13mov that the similar “spider” knives come with
I like this better than the spyerdco tenacious lightweightentry level 8cr frn liner lock series knives at more than twice the price
While you wont mistake this for the same quality as spyderco neither will your bank account
Hopefully having ganzo as a legitimate competitor helps keep quality knife prices down

The new lock is tough but breaks in and really compliments the action of the knife
