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. 
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.

Just received a GANZO G7291-BK from Fasttech. 12 days to USA! Actual delivery time was 6 days from when it left Hong Kong!

Another excellent Ganzo as usual. Perfect in every way.
I love the excellent grip of the random CNC cut grooves in the G10. WAY better grip than plain G10.

A knife company like Spyderco are primarily concerned with the function of their knives. Their number one goal is to make sure that every knife that leaves the factory is well made, has a good locking mechanism, can be relied upon etc.
Ganzo’s business model is to copy the look of other knives (incl Spyderco). Not the function, they want to copy the look. The function is a much lower priority for them. We can prove this by how easily their axis-lock fails, how soft the screws are, uneven blade grinds etc. They have made knives that look heavy duty (and weigh a lot!) but which are not suitable for heavy duty use.
If you buy knives based on looks rather than function … maybe mall ninja is a harsh term but you are a certain class of buyer who Ganzo target. Most of their customers will never discover their knives shortcomings because they don’t really use them. Maybe they just take photos of their black knife with their black torch so they can pretend to themselves that they are spec ops
Evidence? It’s bad form to talk about proving something without providing any supporting evidence.
I too would be quite interested in evidence of Ganzo’s locking mechanisms “easily failing”, what with the 3 or 4 I have coming my way from GearBest (which is mostly this thread’s fault, btw. :p) 
I EDC a Ganzo f753m1 and use it everyday for various usage…
From opening packages to eating, it never failed…
I also have a Ganzo f7601 at work, and it had seen sor pretty rough uses without failing…
I don’t know what Varbos’ expectations are, but we might have some different point of view about what a knife is made for…
I mostly agree with you, but you must admit that those knives looks very nice on shared images took together with their led illuminated keyboards. 
Well, me as a beginner into budget blades, I didn’t like Ganzos either. But after few days of playing with my FB7601, I started to like it and therefore ordered F7562. In the future I’ll order few more for sure, next would be Ganzo cleaver. Let’s be honest, there is hundreds of blade designs created, maybe thousands…Do you really think that something new can be created that doesn’t remind you of some other model? As one Youtuber said, if you look it that way, than all cars are each others copy, etc etc…No one is complaining about cimilar design cars, phones, planes, wheels, spoons, forks, but when you see similar design of a knife, it’s a disaster!!! For me, I don’t see any good company besides Ganzo that is making attractive and quality knives. Ganzo is for sure not the best quality making knife company, but for that budget price range, we cannot complain! I could never afford real Sebenza, or Benchmade or any other expensive AF knife, I live in poor country, that is a fact, and I’m totally satisfied with Ganzo for now. Wish Sanrenmu do knives more often as they seem to have better quality production…
Even if you could afford it and were willing to spend the cash, you’d need to constantly be on your toes regarding legality… I’ve been thinking about ordering a Benchmade BugOut and a Griptilian (and those are on the lower end of the price spectrum if we’re honest), but spending that much money on an EDC tool only makes sense if you can carry it legally - not the case here in Germany. If I go across the border to Belgium or the Netherlands (30-60 minute drive, great for weekend outings), even a little SAK type slipjoint can get confiscated.
A 15€ knife, on the other hand? Ehhh, sure, I’ll just use that around the house and for the odd camping trip. And if it gets confiscated, no big deal.
I can link dozens of videos and/or reports. I owned two which did same…I got rid of them. They simply do not understand (or care) how to make a good axis lock. They only care how to make a knife which looks like a Spyderco/BM/etc
You can say “my one doesn’t do that”. In my opinion, if even 1% of shipped knives have this problem, it is totally unacceptable.
Also to save a lot of time, I should say that if you are one of those guys with affiliate links, deal sites, blogs etc …. I do not consider your opinion to be unbiased. Ganzo sales and getting free knives are a big part of these guys revenue. I fully understand and expect these guys to come out in force and disagree with me. Don’t bother.
Yes, that’s washers with holes to hold more lubricant.
Good point and easier to skip this one.
I really love the action on my 910+ so if they ever make a version with ball bearings then I’ll get one.
…or if GB or FT gets them I’ll buy one on a $10 flash sale
Received these two beauties today …
Top: Ganzo F7562-CF
Bottom: Ganzo F7452-CF
No complaints whatsoever. I love theses Carbon laminate scales. Excellent blades.
Yes, I hope GB or FT get them because price-wise they should fit between the 7010 and 9103. So $10 is quite possible. Unfortunately price in Europe is prohibitive due to tax and distributors cut etc. I would not spend €23 on one of these personally.
You should be more careful about posting photos of black knives with black flashlights or black watches because others might think you’re pretending to be a member of some spec op team.
Yes, well, difficult. The 910+ or 9103/4 are definitely worth the price asked for in Europe, esp. since you get warranty that way and can return it when it sux.
(Ok, from China you usually get full refund, but some folks like safety)
So if they’d promote the 910 series in the $20- $30 range right away they’d still sell well enough, if you see comparable knives from Kizer or Boker Plus and the like.
Many CRKT and Kershaws are more expensive in EU yet less well fabricated imo.
By the way, the 9103 has become pricey lately. For a while they sold them for $10, now it’s 25 on GB and discontinued on FT…
I’ve seen many youtube reviews where there are complaints of USA made Spydercos & Benchmades with uneven grinds and non centered blades, so even they are not on their game sometimes.
