ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Usually I use my Sharpmaker for adding a micro bevel at the 40 degrees setting. It works especially well if I reprofile the blade around 37-38 degrees than use the ultra fine rods of my SM for adding a micro bevel at 40 degrees.

I have all of those folders and I like all of them.
If the word “BM940” means something for you then you should go for the F7562.
If you like super smooth action and deep carry pocket clip go for the FB7601 BK.
The F7611 is also very good design if you prefer a wider blade combined with a curved handle.

The 7601 is one of the smoother ganzo, the 7611 one of the best looking from ganzo. The talisman is beauty and super smooth but the retention is too hard for my taste.

I’ll order F7562, love that blade shape and similarity to a BM940… However, I’ve seen some reviews that blades can be way off-center, that moved me away from 7562 and 7611, good thing it can be fixed easily.

It’s quite pretty with CF:

Is it true that most of the Ganzo CF scales have scratches? Heard of this a lot of times, even my FB7601 had 1 scratch on scale and on clip side near lanyard hole there was tiny bubble underneath CF layer…I am kinda OCD lol, that little imperfections really annoys me.

If I hold the handle against the light I can see tiny scratches but nothing serious. I suppose I could give it a nice uniform finish with a high grit sandpaper.

Yes, sometime they have scratches. For example in my G753 CF, but i think not in my F729.

Ordered F7562 with CF scales.

I don’t mind micro scratches visible only on sun, but my FB7601 had one really nasty and visible at the middle of the scale, it poked my eyes all the time.

i have belts from 85 to 2000 plus a leather stropping belt along with several different jewelers rouges but really not necessary for every day carry. an 85 and 240 belt will do most of the work along with a ceramic rod for light touchup.

I completely agree and have a similar variety of belts (including the leather one). It just looks nice to have that gleaming mirror edge to show off to friends.

I finished my review about the Ganzo G803 and the Hx Outdoors TD-01 survival knives.

Nice knives!.

In a short time i will put my review of td01 with two knives more for comparing…

The Ganzo G803 is a very good deal especially when it’s on sale.

Price dropped on Ganzo F7562, now it’s $15 for G10 and $16 for CF version! with Gearbest points it can be really cheap deal :wink: Unlucky me, should have waited few days more, it was $21 at the time I ordered it. Don’t know if prices dropped on other knives…
FB7601 CF $23 - last time i checked it was $27, again, can be pretty good deal with GB points

Just ordered the CF7562 with GB points! See below:-

:smiley:

Thanx for the tip!

Just got 3 very nice and beautiful knives today. Did paper slice test just now, surprisingly two bigger knives slice better with CTSmart claw knife slices the best.

How much does the “Praetorian” (in the middle) weight?
I have the full steel version and that’s the heaviest folder I have ever seen. :slight_smile:

I hope I^’ll get my Y_Start damascus knife on monday and that Sanrenmu with the dragon on it.

If I don’t like the dragon it will get a CF scale. Nah, of course it will get a CF scale eventually anyways…

Anyone from California order OTF’s or Autos from Ali,Fastech or DHGate have any issues receiving your order?
