Mine came in the morning mail. Great knife! I haven't been this impressed in quite some time! Smooth action (I got a good one). This knife is fat better than I had hoped. This unit is, in a phrase, "all that and a bag of chips"! To anyone that thinks that these are "Chinese Junk"... think again! For the money, these knives are exceptional!

Order one. You'll be glad you did! 8) :mrgreen:

Go to http://www.fastech.com and look carefully for the Ganzo. Buy one, then tell me what you think. Bill DeShivs thought enough to buy one for Debbie's heavy use. This knife is built to both "dish it out" and "take it" as well.

Beat that for the price.

Powercutlery.com has them for cheap and shipping is $2.90. They told me that they weren't ordering autos anymore but that may change. The autos are selling out
So if you want any better get them. They qualify for the good ones list on my opinion.

They sure are and they are pretty nice too although the purple is kinda funky looking. The orange look good though, power cutlery is out though. I'd rate the quality with the boker kals but the safety is better than what used to come on the kals. Bill, the last time I checked out dhgate they had microtec leverlettos, you've been robbed again, they sure are sneeky!

Damn that Microtec!
DHgate actually promotes counterfeiting.

Hi Gang,
We had a post on this about a year ago, I have been carrying a G721 every day now. GREAT Knife I don't let it get to dull I give it a couple of stroke on ceramic rods once a week if I used it a lot. It holds a edge pretty good and I can get it razor sharp.

The only bitch I have about it is, it is a heavy knife to carry but I associate hefty with quality, and if I loose or break it, it's only $13.00 as apposed to a $50.00- 9 inch Italian. I have gotten used to the pocket clip holding the knife in the "UP" position and can draw and deploy the blade just as fast as if it was in the "DOWN" position. The whole year I have carried it I have had no accidental openings in my pocket due to it not having a safety, I really don't think it needs one.

If you are interested in the old post you can do a search for "GEARBEST.com" or go to viewtopic.php?f=1&t=23853&hilit=GEARBEST

OK, now you guys have ME looking for one! lol. The G719 and G721 have been mentioned here. There are so many models to choose from. Lots (most?) U.S. places are out of stock on the 2 mentioned. Looks like waiting on that "slow boat" may be the only option. The G719 looks pretty sharp in black. I'm looking...

I decided to go seek click-therapy from the China Division of Latama Cutlery lol...Got this "Super Knife" for $25. Seems like a nice little 8" knife for $25, plus Walt threw in some Quick Release Oil (which was VERY nice). Since all the Italians I've collected sleep under glass, I figured I could play with this one...

I liked the knife so much I bought two more I gave one to a friend. The other two: one I use I my garden pruning, cutting string, etc. and it's been very reliable, the other is in my kitchen drawer preforming odd jobs.

I have two Ganzo auto knives. I paid around $20.00 each and they are two of my favorite work knives. They were inexpensive but to replace them I’m sure would cost much more than $20 each. So even though they were low priced I treat them with respect.
