You’re entitled to your opinion and I’m entitled to mine. And in my opinion your statement is absolutely untrue.
Tac Force, M-Tech, WarTech, Tiger USA, Snake eye, Master Cutlery etc.? Those are cheap junk! Not Ganzo. Ganzo’s quality is EXCELLENT compared to those, the difference is night and day.
For someone just getting into knives on a budget they should stay away from those cheap junk knives on ebay and buy some Ganzo’s. The quality is 100 times better than those cheap junk knives. I own well over 100 knives and my Ganzo’s are some of the best mid quality knives I own. I’d rate them as being in the quality range of Sanrenmu, and many Kershaw, CRKT, SOG and Camillus, I’d put them above most Gerber, Boker magnum, Schrade and S&W.
.
Again completely untrue, and I take great offense to the demoralizing “mall ninja” characterization.
Tac Force, M-Tech, WarTech, Tiger USA, Snake eye, Master Cutlery, those are for mall ninjas, not Ganzo. I own and use Ganzo’s and I am not a mall ninja, far from it. My Ganzos are very functional in real use, not just looks, and the AXIS locks do work GREAT.
And Ganzo’s are a great value too, most are around $20, that’s only slightly more than the real “cheap junk mall ninja knives” such as Tac Force, M-Tech, WarTech, Tiger USA, Snake eye, Master Cutlery etc.
