Ganzo firebird FH61-GB in green g10 with D2 steel. I paid $30 for this little knife and wasn't expecting to like it as much as I do. The detent is dialed in perfect for thumbing, spyderco flicking and it does both push button and light switching with the flipper tap. The g10 could be a bit more grippy but overall it's a great knife and not just for the price. Bought from https://www.amazon.com/stores/node/1615 ... 6154740011

Ganzo knives are really nice for the money. They make some nice autos too.

Hi, Sammy! Me like Ganzo knives too. They really started to make good knives, as I read on their website, they have a new project called 'knife from the PEOPLE for the PEOPLE", now knife enthusiast can send them their designs and Ganzo can make that knives. Also I found a new knife from FH line FH71, it has original design, so I was so impressed and order it from ACE KNife on Amazon( attached link if you need) https://www.amazon.com/stores/node/1615 ... bl_hsx_s_s

Which ganzo knives do you have?)

Hey Sammy! How are you today?
I`m wondering if Ganzo has official stores on amazon. I bought their knives before from https://www.amazon.com/stores/node/1615 ... bl_hsx_s_s
it`s a good store but I`d like to know if it is official.

Maybe you know?

Definitely agree with the posts. Switchblades are for collecting, or if you're a Mafioso then for killing. Everyday city carry I like my Cold Steel Counter Point 1. Heavy blade, opens as fast as a switchblade either with a flick, or thumb stud. In the boonies it's definitely a Randall Made Model 1, or for the economy minded it's a KABAR MK.2 Fighting Knife, choice of fighting men since WW2.

Full tang fixed blade knife beats all.

Get one of these to chop off a branch or send the muggers running. :D
