Anybody knife if this type of knife lock is legal in the UK, A pin on the tongue drops into a hole on the blade pivot when it is fully closed and full open, But only requires a little pressure to disengage the lock.
Only have 1 Ganzo/Firebird so far, F7413a, its lightning quick to open with a tiny wrist and/or thumb flick. its a little big for edc but I really like the action, and the one handed closing with the axis lock is a lot of fun. Have a bunch of Kershaws with AO, but you dont really need or miss it with this model. the edge grind is not even on both sides and the centering is a hair off, but its not too bad:
not sure, but this locks up very solidly with a very tiny bit of blade play, also came with a pouch and whistle, very sharp as well. have a ontario rat clone on order also has axis lock.
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.
