ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

Love it, I’ve got to get one of these. Nice choice the green color.

Is it super light weight?

I should have got one when there was a deal from one of the aff linkers a while back, think it was around 7 bucks.

very lightweight, I don’t have any spydercos so I cant compare, but my fingers are getting sore trying to do the one handed open/close, hopefully I will get better at it. and/or it loosens up a bit, but it’s pretty nice and very sharp like most ganzos

I have what might be one of the ugliest knives I have ever seen. My neighbor with a heart of gold knows I collect a few knives. Nothing crazy or too outlandishly expensive. I think the most expensive knife I have was $100 and the cheapest is probably about $6 or so. He brings this god awful thing over to me about a year ago, I smile real big and thank him for thinking of me. Now it has been in my knife drawer trying to make sure the rest of the knives don’t try and escape. It’s a solid, heavy, spring assisted, razor sharp, shiny damn thing. I just can’t stand knowing it’s in my house. So what I offer is a trade. Now I need a 16650 battery or two but I will take just about anything you want to throw in a padded envelope or something. Ugly flashlight? Fine. Another ugly knife? Sure why not. Maybe we could play Ugly knife swap or something with the entire group. You don’t even have to tell me what you are sending me. Just message me and I will give you my address and I will get yours and ship this darn thing off. If you have to have this more than me it’s all yours.

Thanks a lot. That actually makes sense, it was scratching and with audible noise.
I was suspicious there are dirt on carbon fiber detent ball. So I pointed and sprayed lubricant on the detent ball, hope that it disolve and clean any dirt there. This is my first knife with cf detent ball, so i was thinking WTH, maybe stainless steel ball is better.

Personally I won’t repay for it. The delay and pain of waiting is just too much for 3.5 month. So a free knife is what I earned. :smiley:

I am very new to knife. I use multipurpose lubricant below. Hope that I didn’t spoil the knife, it might not be as smooth as it should now.

Thanks, that’s what I thought and why I want one.

Are you doing it like this?

(My preferred opening method on these, once I got this method down I use it for all my knives with a hole and am unwilling to go back to any other method!)

The “Spyder Drop” :

Only takes a little practice to master, then you’ll be doing it every time you draw out the knife! It’s just so natural!

No, that works fine, I was referring to pushing the lock and snapping wrist, there’s some vids about this but its tougher on the ganzo cause the lock spring seems stiffer and you cant get much of a grip on the scales due to its smaller size, also the lock has a U shape and its kinda painful when you try it over and over, similar to the G10 pain on the axis models, but iindex finger is being used and abused. it probably is easier to do on larger handle models. I tried some oil on the pivot but seems worse, maybe I will loosen the screw a touch, for $7 your not gonna go wrong if you can find that deal again

That’s the date of releasing of that model. The number is the month and the triangle is the year.
Steve figured that out here.

I took apart dozens of my folders with ball bearings for cleaning the past years and adding some light lube (not a greasy one) always made them better.

That U shape on the lock is called the Boye dent (it’s for preventing unintentional unlocking).
Ganzo F759M and my old school Spyderco Delica side by side. The Ganzo weights 66 g (2.33 oz) while the Delica with the lanyard 57 g (2.01 oz).

Triangle and its shape is Sanrenmu code for production year.

Guys, some posts ago I think I saw someone post a triangular diamod honning/sharpenening device pretty cheap to improve the factory edges not to re-profile blades where is that link i want one one those things.

It was trangular in red plastic?

Thanks apreciate it

On my knives I feel that grease makes the ball bearings slower, oil is no problem.
But I use my SRM Land 910+, my Malyshev Gnome, and my Vespa Neon without any lubricant at all.
Working like a charm and doesn’t collect so much dust.

Only my TiLock clone and my Real Steel Griffin run on bearings with some grease but they are no flippers even though they could flip great with attachable flipper tabs like on the LionSteel Tre…

Mine doesn’t do that and it has a rock solid lock-up without the slightest movement not like the one on the video. Jimi might get a lemon.

The worst case Adahn could make you a replacement G10 scale with a smaller cut out or even a CF one! :wink:

Ps. I made the effort and I could flip mine open too. I’m still not a front flipper fan. :slight_smile:

Sewing machine oil for me. I use that oil for folders.

Good to know sewing machine oil works too. :+1:

Well, order 2 of these little fellas to my address (when they are on sale if you like) and get one back with a cf scale.
I could even include a (simple) pattern and fill it up with gidt epoxy.

Just made some shopping cart coinless keys and included a smiley one one and alien eyes on the other one.
Of course I forgot to take pics before gifting it to my sister and my b-i-law.

The skull didn’t work out so well but I guess I’ll try another one.
