ALL THINGS BUDGET KNIVES

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?

Nice!

I could only find it in a Polish store, do you have other links?

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.
