EDIT: Ganzo G7522 it is, ordered...

I've discovered a new addiction, knives...

So far I've either received or have already confirmed being shipped, Ganzo G7531-CF, Ganzo G7392-CF, #2 Enlan EL-01A's, Shirogorov F3 Flipper, Sanrenmu 7010 LUC-SA, Sanrenmu 9063, CIMA MF-5, #2 Buck 110 Hunters (authentic from USA, #1 stock and #1 customized)-

I need, no, I want one more knife and have so far narrowed it to those in the poll

If voting 'OTHER', kindly mention the knife you have in mind-

The links below are not absolute, I mean if someone likes that particular knife but not the color or handle, all comments, criticisms, and suggestions are welcome-

I appreciate your input, thanks!

1) Ganzo G720

2) Ganzo G7412-BK

3) Ganzo G7391-CF

4) Ganzo G741-1CF

5) Ganzo G7522-BK

I voted 720. The 720 is the definition of ROBUST. Everyone needs just one.

For Other, I would have suggested Y-START LK5008

It’s weird, but in these poll type threads, it won’t let me add a link to knife above and it also canceled my poll vote…wth? This happens in these poll threads (at least in my experience). Sumpin not proper about them.

I looked at the Y-START LK5008, looks good!

I'll PM SB about the problem you mentioned, and thanks for voting!

EDIT: SB PM'd

From the list g720 and g752.
There are other knives very interesting too from enlan, sanrenmu, y-start, harnds, cima…

6

All of them lol!

Believe me, that was a thought

They all look so good!
I like the carbon fiber looking ones.
But i know the G720 build quality is good.
I have 4 Ganzo knives 3 Enlans and 2 sanrenmu. I want to buy a few more soon. But i bought 3 fix blades lately so i will wait a while. One of my Ganzo is starting to rust but i use it as my fishing knife so it is to be expected.

G720 is great but too heavy and big for EDC. I voted G7522 for the awesome ball-bearing flipper. Two must buy from Ganzo : G727 and G729 if you do not own the originals.

Ganzo G7522 it is, ordered...

Thanks everyone!

A more than seven hour poll will get you a bigger sample size.

The 720 would be my choice, beefy and hefty, buy carries well. You wont go wrong with any if the Ganzos listed, and remember to check amazon too, the prices there can be competitive…

I guess he did not want to wait. I know the feeling that is why i usually order a few things at once.

13

That's true, I was partial to the 7522 anyway, excellent advice though...thanks!

All Ganzo blades are too heavy for EDC imo but they are good budget workhorses.

16

I agree. I read somewhere that they are milling their liners but I am waiting for something in the <3 oz size. Love my G727 but heavy for EDC.

17

Too Heavy? What would Jeremiah Johnson say? :P

ans. "Hah. What trouble?" (172kb)

18

I just ordered the Ganzo G7522-OR … they are finally using milled out liners so it should be lighter than my other Ganzo that I love. Also using ball bearing pivot and a liner lock… pretty different than their others and I’m super curious

19

It’s funny as soon as I saw the list and the high votes for the 720 I thought Nooo! the 7522 looks like a much better knife for EDC. I love my 720 but it is huge and frankly, I just use it as a stress busting toy when watching TV. I would not dream of carrying it about. I like my EDC to be light weight and unnoticed not dragging my pants down. My current favourite is a Harnds Knight which is a lovely little blade for the money though due to carry laws where I am I stick to a Swiss Army knife most of the time.
