Ganzo G720-BK Tactical Folding Knife Multi Tool Window Breaker 440C Blade Black G10 Handle w/ Paper Box & Draw String Bag G720

I have a number of knives (spydercos, etc); something of a knife problem, like many of the reviewers on this thread reviewing this knife. This is my favorite, and my EDC. Specifically, I enjoy using it more than a spyderco Manix which used to be my EDC, and als more than other Ganzos I have (e.g. the G7412, and G7392). Pros: its really solid, and aesthetically it appeals to me--I grin when using it. It IS big and heavy, which I find satisfying. Another HUGE plus is the deep-carry pocket clip, so that when it is in my pocket, it doesnt stick out, and is not obtrusive. What's more, because it is clipped on the pocket edge and not sitting at the bottom of the pocket, I dont feel it when walking, even though it is heavy/big. If I had it sitting at the bottom of my pocket, it would indeed be too big/heavy. So, I find it very comfortable, probably why it is my sole EDC knife--whenever I go to one of my others, I remember that their clip ends up having the knife sticking out of the pocket a bit, which makes me uncomfortable as others sometimes react. I don't know if it is indeed 440C or not, but it takes a very nice edge, and holds it reasonably. A few passes on the sypderco sharpmaker get it back to shaving sharp. I find the lockup great. Quite solid. I've never had it fail (have been using knife everyday for ~ 2 months). Finish is good; blade is well centered. The handle G10 is grippy and comfortable. I've beaten on the knife (hacking through vines, small tree trunks, etc. in the garden); things that I would never consider doing with a more expensive knife. The weight of the knife makes such endeavors very satisfying, and it has held up well to the abuse. I bought a second as a back up, in case I finally do destroy it, though no evidence of problems so far. The knife is a steal at this price. Cons: It is heavy, if that bothers you. It is a copy of a lionsteel knife costing more, so there is potentially a moral issue there, though I would never have purchased a $180 lionsteel, so that doesnt bother me much. The lock is a bit stiff when originally purchased. Put a bit of teflon-type lubricant into the blade pivot, and things loosen up a lot. After a bit of use, its great. The 'stiff lock' issue isnt really a big deal, only an obstacle to playing with the knife (i.e. using a flick to open blade in conjunction with Axis lock; opening the blade using the thumb studs is easy even out of the box). The texture of the G10 handle does make it slower to get out of a tight pocket. Makes sure you wont lose it, but could be bad if you're focused on self defense. Overall, this is likely a lousy self-defense blade--it is too wide, and not 'pointy' enough. So, that might be an issue for some. Con

People that dismiss Chinese products as crap are, simply put, missing out and have delusions of grandeur. As previous posters have mentioned, the people that would dismiss this knife because it was made in China, for sure own plenty of Chinese made products but they're not knives. They're their shoes, TVs, phones or basically put probably over 50% of their electronics. To put my experience in perspective, I've been carrying knives for 30+ years, use them daily and have a fair collection as you can imagine. Yep, my collection includes the usual "classics" from Spyderco, Kershaw, CRKT and Benchmade but I never settle and keep buying more. I do not discriminate by price, make or country of origin. I try not to buy crap, sometimes I do but this time but I didn't this time. So with that said, on to the knife. $15 is what this cost me and I couldn't be more pleased. One thing about this knife that is instantly noticeable is that it's heavy. Like really heavy but not without good reason. No, the liners aren't milled but that's not it. No, american materials aren't lighter, that's not it either. What it is, is the huge chunk of 440c in place of a regular folders blade. This is by far the thickest blade I've seen on any folder of this size and it's fantastic. It fairly obvious once you pick it up and handle it, this thing can take a beating (there's plenty of online abuse reviews on it already to prove this). The scales on the knife are great. They provide excellent grip due to the relief and the fact the handle is really wide to hide the aforementioned behemoth blade. The gimping on the spine helps contribute to a solid grip too. The ramp where the gimping is could be a little more aggressive but it's really close to being spot on. As far as lockup goes there's zero movement and there wasn't when i got it. However, this is one thing I've learned about Ganzo's. They need tuned (fiddled / messed with). If you don't do it right you're probably going to get lateral movement. If you don't do it at all the axis lock springs are way too tight and deployment is going to be stiff. To do this, make sure you have a T6, T8 and blue locktite, then look up what to do online if you can't figure it out (really simple stuff). The clip. I like the clip itself, it's substantial, sturdy and deep carry. Right handed, point up is the way all my knives are configured and the G720 comes configured in that manner. However, you cannot change this due to the glass breaker and the need for some odd 4 pin tool that I don't own. So for me, it's not a big deal but I can see this being an issue for others. Before picking up a few (6) Ganzos lately - I'm fairly new to them. I had never had a knife in 440C and now I cannot think of a reason why more people don't use it for budget line knives. It takes and edge really well and seem to out last AUS8 and 8Cr13MoV as far as retention goes. Don't get me wrong, I haven't sat there with cardboard and "cut test" the thing, that's just not me but I've noticed over my cheaper domestics (some of the spydercos and kershaws are made in china though) it really does hold an edge longer. This really is a no brainier if you need a larger folder for heavy use - a great work or truck knife (esp with the glass breaker). It's not going to make a lot of people happy for EDC, it's a little large and heavy for that. Like playing with knives? Something about the weight of the blade make this knife really fun to flick open and let fall close. When not in use it lives on my desk at home and is used as a stress ball. Make sure you 'tune' the thing first though, otherwise it'll make you miserable and thumbs hurt. For $15 and 5 minutes of your time though, it's oh so satisfying.

This was purchased to see what kind of quality is coming from Chinese knife manufacturers. Overall, I think this is a very nice knife for the money. Will it beat the $200 knife it was copied from (Lionsteel SR-2)? Not quite as the materials are subpar compared to the original. The fit and finish is pretty nice, though. The blade is hefty and came fairly sharp. It took a very nice edge after sharpening, but 440C is super easy to get a keen edge on. The pocket clip is decent, but it is not reversible. Lock up is tight and appears to be robust. The blade jimping is not very aggressive, but the G10 grip is nice. It has a plastic backspacer and the liners are not skeletonized. This thing is heavy and feels solid. I'm sure this we be great camping/hiking beater knife.

Excelente navaja con acabados y ajustes impecables. Se trata del clásico modelo G720, pero con una renovación sutil que mejora varios aspectos sin perder su esencia. Irónicamente, esta actualización recupera el antiguo logotipo de GANZO en la hoja, reemplazando el de "Firebird", algo que personalmente agradezco enormemente. Estéticamente, el logo original aporta una apariencia mucho más sobria y profesional. En cuanto a mejoras funcionales, se nota una mayor fluidez en la apertura, con una acción más suave y precisa. La estructura interna parece haber sido aligerada, especialmente en los forros, lo que da una sensación de mayor equilibrio en mano. La caja también vuelve a lucir el logotipo clásico de GANZO, reforzando ese aire de regreso a los orígenes. Como novedad, el paquete incluye una toalla de microfibra de buena calidad, de aproximadamente 20x20 cm, que sustituye a las típicas fundas blandas que la marca solía incluir. En mi opinión, este cambio es positivo y acorde con el estilo renovado del producto. En resumen, una pieza que sigue siendo una delicia. Robusta, bien construida, con una estética táctica y una funcionalidad que la hacen ideal tanto para coleccionistas como para uso diario. La G720 sigue siendo una gran navaja, y esta versión actualizada la eleva aún más. Adjunto vídeo para aclarar cualquier duda.

Sehr schönes Messer 👍

Excelente, robusta y contundente. No presenta holgura alguna, y la hoja está y se mantiene perfectamente centrada en su alojamiento al cerrar. El sistema de apertura/cierre (axis lock) va de lujo, permitiendo la apertura y cierre con una sola mano. Pesa sobre los 196 gramos, algo menos que las primeras del 2015 (205 g.) porque han esqueletizado (abierto agujeros) en los forros del mango para conseguir un mejor equilibrio, pero sigue manteniendo la contundencia. El acero 440c es buen acero, con un buen equilibrio entre la dureza del filo y la facilidad de afilado. En los últimos años han surgido nuevos aceros de última generación con una extraordinaria dureza que conservan el filo una cosa bárbara, pero que tienen asociada algunas pegas, como la contrapartida de que son realmente muy difíciles de afilar (y muy caros), y a no ser que se sea un experto en afilado y disponer de piedras diamante, la labor de afilar se puede convertir en una pesadilla. Esta navaja tiene una más que notable retención de filo (hay mogollón de videos en YouTube de las mil y una perrerías que le hacen de prueba y aguanta como una campeona lo que otras con más "pedigree" no hacen), pero la podemos afilar nosotros mismos sin problemas con un mínimo de conocimiento. La compré para regalo sabiendo que es ya una navaja mítica entre los aficionados al bushcraft, y volví a comprar otra para mí ... ;-). Me llegaron antes de lo esperado. Muy contento.

Ich habe schon "einige" Messer und auch viele vom Ganzo. Dies ist ein großes und etwas schwerer Messer (was mir persönlich sehr gut gefällt) und perfekt verarbeitet! Mein neuer EDC und eine Bereicherung für meine Sammlung... Ich finde den Lock toll und wie gesagt, da bekommt man sehr sehr viel Messer für sei Geld!

Top, stabil, liegt super in der Hand, lange scharf, einfach nachschärfen
