Ive lusted after spyderco knives forever but cant afford them so I snagged one of these a couple weeks ago with the grey scales. I put some 3 in 1 oil on the pivot and where the lock meets the blade when locked as well as when its closed (front and back of the blade) and a little in the holes where the lock is and this thing is so smooth. I really like it so far. its wicked sharp too. I did have to use some 220 sand paper around the thumb hole and the back of the knife to make it more comfortable for me but thats the beauty of a knife this affordable, you dont have to worry about doing little quality of life mods on it if you want to cause it isnt 200 dollars like a real Spyderco Paramilitary 2
Yep, with you there, they are making thier mark for sure. Be safe and appriciate your support
Have 3 Ganzo knifes. Great value for the price. Have a Spyderco Tenacious too - it's overall better fit and finish but cost three times as much. When we talk about the Paramilitary 2 prices are just to insane for that one , i can't justify the purchase.....
Yep, I just cannot afford the prices on spidy, be safe out there
I bought the blue one it was ruff on closing almost sent it back but did some cleaning and put a softer spring just on one side now its butter smooth luv it just ordered the orange one 😊
Nice. Thanks for watching and commenting
Good to have you back George, nice review on the knife. With the materials and quality of the knife I though it would cost a lot more
Yep, pretty solid for the price. Good to be back at it. Got alot going on...lol. some cool stuff coming. Be safe my friend
I own 3 of the smaller brothers to that knife, the 759.
I LOVE these knifes.
20$, and a solid, sharp, usable knife that is really sharp, easy to sharpen, and man, do they cut.
I love having a really good, cheaper knife, because I too lose knives or break them or even give them away to others who might need 1.
From what I understand, GANZO has so damaged SPYDERCO sales with these knives, that SPYDERCO is now ceasing production of their models in this range because they CANT COMPETE!
Others who have used both brands say that the GANZO knife is actually BETTER than the SPYDERCO simply from the blade steel used. I dont know if I agree, but I do, darn sure do, think the GANZO is a terrific product and I am glad to have the ones I do.
Wow, did not know that. I have a little brother on the way. Love these Ganzos for sure. Be safe my friend
I own several spydercos (tenacious, tenacious lightweight, spyderco pm2 digi-cam with s35, Cara Cara 2, resilience, resilence lightweight blackout) and also several ganzos. There's really no comparison in terms of quality, Spyderco, even their budget models, are far superior in terms of edge retention and blade steel. Ergo as well (spyderco actually has functional jimping on points of contact, where ganzo uses relatively smooth, bulbous jimping that really isn't effective). That being said, the 440c heat treat that Ganzo uses is about as good as you can get for 440c, they always come sharp, habe decent fit and finish (I've only had to tweak one of them out of the box) and the value is absolutely there. I do particularly enjoy the fact that they habe really implemented the benchmade axis lock into nearly all of their designs as a lefty. Liner locks are great, pressure locks from spyderco are really satisfying, but there's something about an ambidextrous locking mechanism that really sets the ganzos apart from a lot of knives in its price range. I do wish they used a steel slightly more similar to D2 or Aus 8, but they get decent enough results out of the 440 where I would argue its pretty comparable to 8cr13mov, probably closer to 7cr13mov honestly, just a bit soft imo. That being said, if you ever do pick up a spyderco, you will absolutely feel the difference- even their cheaper models are a completely different level in terms of performance to any of the ganzos as a daily edc knife. If you have 25$, get the ganzo, if you have 60$ I'd really look at the tenacious or a used delica. That being said, If you want a solid edc blade that you don't have to worry about, ganzo is perfect for that.
Having collected knives for close 10 years now, I'm confident saying there is not a better value on the market. Period. And the 440C is exc excellent. Period. Time to stop apologizing for Ganzos.
Yes, I agree, They are making thier mark for sure. Well worth the money. Appriciate the support. Be safe out there
I'm glad you had a good time on your visit. The ganzo would make a good little camp knife in my opinion well done George!
Yep, you right, it's solid enough to do smaller camp chores for sure. Becsafe my friend
I have one with the green scales. It is a great knife. Came centered and their heat treat is good. It holds an edge. After putting a mirror edge on it all I do is strop the blade. I have expensive knives, but this is one of my favorites. Thanks 🔪🎸
Yep, great knife forvthe price. Thanks for watching always appriciated 👍
Always nice to visit the family. Got one of these a while ago, a very good knife for the price, and light weight for its size, thanks for the review, George.
Yep, love visiting the girls. It is surprisingly light for the size and on my budget that price will work. Be safe my friend
That’s a Great Looking Knife!!
Thankyou 😆
Thanks!
You the man, first super user. Many thanks. Greatly appriciate your support
Good looking bunch. Glad everything went well.
Mine is orange. I didn't have a orange knife and thought it looked good. I didn't realize how big it was until I got it. It has better steel than the spiderco, 440c, or mine is. Have a great day
Yes they are...pol.good genetics..lol. I like this knife surprised me. Be safe as always
I fuckin love you George my MAN!
You have beautiful daughters by the way! I know you must be a very very proud man! I hope my wife understands the implication behind my compliment of their beauty if she sees this comment 🤣
Lol....easy my friend this is a family channel, but I appriciate it. I am truly a proud Dad. They are the one thing I did right. Be safe my friend
👍 Looks like you have found another good knife.
Not a big fan of holes in blades, but this one is not as offensive as the Spyderco models for some reason.
I prefer lock back style locks. Axis and frame locks are good secondary choices IMHO. I have no use for liner locks. 😳
Pocket clip has got to go, they belong on pens & pencils not knives. 😂😂😂
I agree the best lock is a lock back. I'm old and lazy...lol. so the liner will work for me.thanks again for the support as always appriciated.
@@2ndchancegeorge I fully support your desire to use liner locks. 😂😂😂 BUT, strongly disagree with you being “old and lazy”. Have a good week and thank you again for this video.
I have the F729 with gray scales and the F759M with green scales i love them bot but i prefer the smaller F759M
Yep, they got some good ones.thanjs for watching, always appreciated 😀
Nice one, George!
I have one and it’s a great knife.
Good stuff as always, brother 👊🏻
Yep, worth every penny. Be safe my friend
I ordered the exact same one! orange because I always set my nose down lol. It's very sturdy and solid
Yep, very solid knife for sure. Thanks for the support and you be safe out there
🖐🏻 George , like the orange color. 👍🏻
Yep, easy for me to find...lol. be safe
Welcome back George
Nice knife , the price is good too , and it’s sharp 👌
Thankyou my friend. Hope all is well
@@2ndchancegeorge All good thanks to God 👌
Wow you got some beautiful girls there Geo. Missed you too. I own one Ganzo knife. I really like that hole and orange color. Welcome back. ❤
Lol...yep people ask if they were adopted 🙄...lol. I just say good genetics. With you on this knife, liking it. 👍
Nobody can afford spyderco my friend, people just value it enough to sacrifice for them!
Yep. I understand that. 👍 don't get me wrong. If I could I would. Thanks for watching, always appriciated.
Is it still good till now?
Yep, hanvt had any issues, still sharp and does 5he job. Be safe
I have one in black. It's an incredible value-just astounding for under $20! Quite serviceable and you don't have to worry about it. I call it the "Spyderfaux".
Lol..true story. Well worth the dollars. Thanks for watching and be safe out there
