Knife Review: Ganzo G722 (frame lock G10, 440C) With Chopping Test and Coupon Code- $16.99

Ok folks- I apologize if you’re getting Ganzo fatigue. I think I might be too. I only have one more coming up for a while, the 7212. For now check out the Ganzo G722 frame locking folder. Ganzo uses 440C stainless in this fine specimen (like the others I’ve reviewed). It’s by far my heaviest pocket knife, and I was pretty impressed with it’s size and weight when I first opened the box.

Surely there’s something that needs to be hacked up to put it through the paces? Fear not- I forgo-ed the paper and card board stuff this time and wailed on a small shrub growing up against my fence. While an axe or machete would have made much shorter work of it- I wanted to see how well it held an edge. Spoiler alert: it’s still hair shaving sharp afterward.

Anyway the video is short, and there’s some nice macros of the blade AFTER I chopped the bush and cut up some sticks. Ganzo doesn’t state what the blade profile is, but looking at the close-ups, is it a flat ground? I think so, but correct me if I’m wrong. Anyway the blade is still razor sharp and won’t need to be sharpened for some time, in fact I used it as a steak knife last night. I think a few other people already have this knife, and it seems like it’s a winner all around. Feel free to chime in if you have it. Ganzo says the 440C has an HRC 58, which I think I forgot to mention in my review.

Anyway this was provided by review from Gear Best, and the knife is available for $16.99 until September 30th with the coupon code: GBG722. They provided me with the following link to use. I have no idea if it’s necessary or not. http://goo.gl/cRxr90 But it’s not affiliate with me, and I get no monetary compensation from it.

As most of my reviews, I shot this with my Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera, which shoots amazing video, and is easy to use. Most of my lenses are cheap 35mm vintage MF lenses, and some C-Mount lenses too. Without further ado, check out this beast of a knife and visit my blog if you’re bored.

Ganzo fatigue, is that like too-many-lumen-itis?

As always, great review, splendid photography…

Hey guys,

the GANZO G720 has the same price at the time, the normal price is even 26,15$ - now 35% off.

Thanks! Yes it’s similar. I think 4 Ganzos in a row has permanently affected my brain. It’s sure sucked down a lot of my time. I did not expect to get all these for review, but I needed to get them done before I had more stuff to work on. Got some closeups of the edge this time… It’s a flat ground right?

mhanlen, very good video and commentary! I believe ReMan addressed the flat ground issue in your last review, but it does indeed seem that Ganzo flat grinds all their blades. Thank you for posting these well documented reviews.

Got it thanks!

I apologize, got caught up in some stuff locally. Yes that is a flat grind, the Grind of the blade is part between the edge and the spine (back of the blade). I did have to chuckle about your EDC being a Kukri… I like your chopping test on this one, makes you appreciate a saw, doesn’t it?

Yes! Oh so it’s not just the cutting edge- that makes sense. Makes me feel a bit dumb now. Yeah it’s a terrible way to cut through that bush. That kukri now- I use that for yard work all the time. Two or three hacks and it would have demolished the bush. I often take that blade in place of a camp axe.

What a nice review! Almost like watching a movie.
