GANZO Firebird Pocket Folding Knife FH21 D2 Steel Blade G10 Handle with Clip Fishing Hunting Camping Outdoor EDC Knife (Black)

First - thanks to all who answered my question about threadlock.This is a really nice knife. One of the few I've bought that didn't need sharpening out of the box. The flipper is very smooth and the lock up is good. A knife worth carrying that you don't have to sell a kidney to afford.I did a couple minor modifications to make it easier for my old arthritic hand and fingers. Just deepened the lock release scale depression and added a couple pieces of grip tape; sprung the pocket clip a wee bit. Nothing the average user would need to do. If you want a good, well made knife that is inexpensive, just buy it. Very happy with knife.

This knife is that good and Ganzo's are getting better every generation with their fit and finish and attention to detail. Some reviewers on video sites don't like the detent on this knife claiming it is too weak, but I personally like it. With a hard shake, the knife may open via gravity, but it will not open in your pocket from normal EDC use. The action is very smooth and I personally like how it just fires out and opens with a low level of effort. This is a guilt free beater with good steel that actually deserves more respect than that, but will actually be used as a tool it is intended for. It is a win win in my book. This knife beats or at the very least gives brand name knives a run for their money. In terms of value for the money, the big brands can't compete with this level of quality considering the price.In terms of comfort, I would say it is totally acceptable. I have big hands and I have more comfortable knives. This knife is by no means uncomfortable and there are no hot spots for me. That is the trade off for having a more pocket friendly knife and I am fine with that.

The Ganzo FH21 is an absolute delight to use for EDC. Not only are you getting D2 steel on a knife that REALLY shouldn't have it at this price range, this knife is a complete package. G10 scales, flipper tab, deep carry clip, and lightweight to the point where it just melts into your pocket and disappears. Only real complaint is the placement and protrusion of the pocket clip; it sits a little too far down the body (about 1-2 cm sticks out in the pocket) and rubs my hand the wrong way when gripping hard.Also, do note that the flipper tab may not contact your thumb when closing if you have a habit of using the closer end of a liner lock as opposed to as close to the blade as possible (or in the middle, like normal people).*Note for you people on reddit: Chinese factories make everything you own at the same or superior quality at a lower price compared to domestic production; these things are the same knives you spend $100+ on but with a Chinese brand slapped on it.

The knife is as expected razor sharp out of the box. It feels really nice in hand and opens like an assisted knife does. I’ve had a Kershaw for the last few years but it won’t hold an edge (Kershaw-Chinese made not made in oregon). Not sure about the steel on this blade, says it’s D2 but I’ve never had a blade that was D2 so I’ve got nothing to compare it to. Seems to hold an edge very well. I use it as an EDC, cutting tape, boxes, wood, whatever gets in my way on the job. Still razor sharp after nearly a month. Great buy so far. Only complaint is that the belt clip seems to have gotten weak on it. I’ll have to you around with it and bend it back

I have a lot of pocket knives, but am not a knife or steel expert by any means. Others can speak to that. What I can say is that the quality seems great. The motion on open/close is butter smooth. It came sharp. Is relatively light weight. Locks open solidly with no play, starts locked until you want to close, and is easy to unlock when desired. It fits comfortably in my men's size XL (glove size) hand.

I’m an avid pocketknife collector and am very pleased with the budget friendly Ganzo Firebird FH21. It has excellent action right out of the box! The blade came razor sharp, light in the pocket. I suggested it to a friend who bought one as well, and is also very pleased!

Unbelievable action and sharp. Real g10 and d2 if you want a knife in this price range this is very hard to beat. I would say this is a top quality knife in function any improvement on this would simply be using different materials which have advantages and drawbacks of thier own like titanium handle or a different bladesteel detent is a little high for my taste but it's shocking to me that they can offer a 25 dollar knife shipped that can't be flat out beat by other knives I would love to see them make some 50$ knives with higher end steel and handles other than g10

I haven't tested the blade but I assume it's okay. the blade does show little vertical play, which seems like a consistent thing from ganzo lately. The worst thing about this knife is the handle design, it's really uncomfortable to hold.The ball bearing action is smooth. Also one annoying thing is that you need 2 screw drivers to adjust the pivot.

Skaplig kvalitet. Bra med d2 blad. Pocketclip böjde sig utåt after bara några veckor så lossnar från fickan. Väldigt dålig komfort om man har lite större händer.

Hab es umgebaut, damit es 42a konform wird. Leichtes elegantes Messer, das sich auch ohne Nagelhau gut öffnen lässt. Als EDC völlig ausreichend. Jetzt muss es sich nur noch wirklich um ordentlich bearbeiteten D2 Stahl handeln. Bei Outdoormessern bevorzuge ich andere weniger bruch- und rostgefährdete Stahlsorten. Beim Taschenmesser, dass nur zum Schneiden verwendet wird ist eine gute Schnitthaltigkeit aber nicht zu verachten.
