Hi Manx,
The F1 copy is a decent knife for the money. It’s a robust full tang construction and it comes with a good quality sheath. I found the factory edge too obtuse for my taste so I resharpened it to ~40 degrees. That’s the only con I can mention.
I picked up this Ganzo G749. They seem hard to find at a decent price. Fasttech only had the black. Dhgate has all the colors, but they are over priced. I have to say, not only is this very smooth opening and sharp, it’s the most comfortable large folder to clip into my pocket I’ve ever owned. Don’t even know it’s there, and virtually invisible. Awesome knife.
I got mine from Aliexpress, do a search with “Fixed Blade Knife” and you should see it in the results. They are around ~20-22€ now. (the store I bought from, does not have it anymore)
It’s not a bad thing to ask the seller to verify the product so they don’t send you one with defects.
I’m talking about the opposite part to the cutting edge. In the 910 it’s flat, in the 710 not exactly (bends like 2cm before the tip). Here’s a screenshot from a youtube video (as found in Google Images):
Didn’t really like that myself and corrected it on my first scale job ever, I just shouldn’t have added a false edge
All in all they should just make a 9103/4 in the size of the 710 or slightly larger with a 3in blade.
The steel on the 910+ is really great on my copy, no need for powder steel if they can harden a simple Sandvik steel like that…
