For me FH922 is Elementum, but an improved version for less money. I'm really super happy with it. D2 steel is superb, even better processed than on more expensive knives. I have a version with a black G10 handle and a black blade, for $35 I have no complaints. With today's knife prices, I think it is better to buy 2-3 Ganzo knives than to pay for "premium" ones.
Just got the FH922, and it’s flawless: blade centering, detent, lock bar access and tension, and the flipper tab should be the industry standard! Plus, a 90 degree spine for ferro rod use. Best value of any edc knife out there!
I was just talking about wire clips the other day and how some people think they look cheap. I was saying that I actually think the opposite cuz most knives I've seen with wire clips toward the high end spectrum. Ace knives, some Spydercos etc. This is the first budget knife that I think I've seen that has a wire clip. Plus, deep carry clips tend to be an ergonomic nightmare imo so if I have to have one, make it a wire clip with no edges to stab into your hand. The blade is supposed to stab, not the clip.
For sure
Just got mine today. LOVE IT!..People can say what they want about Ganzos. They are pretty good and cut the same as knives twice the cost. Fixed budget?. Get a Ganzo
I know a lot of people don’t care for Ganzos but I’ll continue to buy them at these prices. Be cool if they would delve into some Sanvik! “Ganzos are a gateway drug into the knife world!” per Frankie n Bird!!!
The opioids of knives 🤣
@@StevEDC_UK it has to start somewhere!!
I modified my FH41 to have a full forward finger choil. The thing that got me off buying Ganzo's was Civivi. I still have many Ganzo's. Great work knives in either 440C, or D2.
Yeah I've had my share on modding ganzos
I purchased Ganzo when I first started collecting. Great then. Great now. Hard to beat the bang for the buck!! ✌️
While Chinese manufacturers have a well deserved reputation for taking other people's intellectual property and undercutting the original company. Knife designs aren't exactly trade secrets. What would the knife world be like if no one was allowed to make a drop point, or a clip point, a wharncliffe, or a Persian blade shape except the people who first designed it. We would have a horrible mess of unnecessary blade shapes just to dodge law suits. I don't think ganzo got one nickel from a Benchmade customer who decided that they'd rather have a $20 ganzo. I know it doesn't look kosher but they plaster their name all over them, the steel is what they say it is, and they give a good value for the little bit of money they charge. I wouldn't buy one of those the unoriginal designs, but I have most of the knives they are based on now.
- Best value in town. Not the absolute best materials, but value 👍🔥. Great reviews. I just got the Ganzo FH923. Amazing... I don't even know what to say, just Amazing value. I hope our USA knife makers step it up all the way around; before Ganzo just runs roughshod.
Absolutely
The FH41 is probably my favorite Ganzo. The FH series is pretty good. Power Cutlery is the place to go for them. They run about 25 bucks there. The 81 ans 21 are both really good too. It's crazy you can get a D2 steel flipper with drop shut action for 25 bucks. It's a shame so many people still diss them due to the copied design days. They really do make a good knife for the money. I have quite a few that I use for days I'm doing dirty or rough work. They're great beaters for sure. Inexpensive yet great build quality.
For sure
Yes but..... they made in chiner, lol. Every time we spend $ on that cheap labor well, u know. I know you dont care but 1day the greed of us and corperate America will come bk to bite us u know where. Enjoy your communist produced knife.
@@ericpitre4031 So is the electronic item you just typed that on. Probably the shoes on your feet too. The toaster you used to make your breakfast, and a host of other items in your household.
I'm certainly no fan of the Chicoms, but if you think that not buying a Chinese made knife will hurt them in any way shape or form, think again. Knives are just a tiny drip in the ocean of items each and every one if us use each and every day of our lives that came from there, whether you realize it or not. You would need to boycott far more than just knives to make a difference, and in today's world, that's going to leave you living a very primitive spartan existence if you do. That being said, It won't effect me one bit if you never buy a knife made there. It won't effect them either, but suit yourself. I'll agree with you on one thing, It WILL come back to bite us on the ass one day, but boycotting chinese made knives won't stop that. The majority of the electronics used in our war planes, tanks, missiles, rockets, etc etc were made in China, as is much of the prescription medicine we depend on. Let that sink in. Chinese knives are the least of my worries when it comes to the chicoms.
@@timbo4374 the only thing we shd buy or hv made in chiner lol is a Wirebrush for cleaning metal and welding guys. The notion of using chiner for our labor goes against all USA principles, ya know? People on the left want gubment help an us righties get up from our alarm clocks and “go get it ourselves). Fairness is a big word poor people use when talkin bout millionares. Yu really think we’d be better off if they paid the “ Fair Share”?? The feds cant manage their lunch money much less more of the rich’s taxes. Peace playa
@@ericpitre4031 uh huh..right..if it lets you sleep better at night, you go ahead and keep believing that.
Facts Jerad!! Tell ‘em bro! Ganzos are damn good budget knives. They never called them something else but a Ganzo!
I recently bought the 922 for the reasons you say at the end of the video, to encourage them to do more in house designs. To be honest, I really like the knife! It is very slicey and seems to hold an edge reasonably well. For most normal EDC task it is phenomenal. I won't be using it to for my side job of working on vehicles but it will be fantastic for general carry and it is really fun to play with and actually very enjoyable to sharpen.
Yes, i will buy their in house designs. I got an FH61 free with a trade on reddit, i was like meh, but once i got it im in love. Its comparable to the G10 para 3.
I have a hard use Ganzo for 12 years, retired it, but still use it on heavy card board. Very good knife.
I have over two dozen knives and my Ganzo FB760 gets more pocket time than all the rest. It's just a damn good knife with butter smooth action. Best $22.00 I've ever spent.
Would definately buy a ganzo knife way before buying an Mtech. At the price they do their knives and the quality they present Ganzo definately is hitting that sweet spot of ultra budget and reliable knives. Keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable
I just ordered the fh992 for my son for Christmas. Thanks for the review ! I think I will get one for me after Christmas
Oh hell yes I have been waiting for a vid on that new Ganzo for what feels like a month. You Rock!
my fav is the FH91. i like this blade shape best. and the FH11 is very beautiful, too.
I LOVE that they're doing wire clips!! simple, clean, effective, AND look good lol. Wire and 3Dmilled clips are so much better looking than a piece of flat stamped metal (*cough ChrisReeves cough). Do flat bent clips work? Sure. Are they hideous and lack any shred of creativity? You betcha! LOL
I purchased a FH41 recently as it was on sale for 20 euros, I am really pleased with fit and finish.
Action is great, it's slicy AF.
Their D2 is surprisingly better than many Böker models I have in the same steel...
My only concern is that on my model the clip is not reversible, and I thought it was.
Nonetheless it fits well in my hand and the clip is not annoying too much for a left handed guy.
Ganzo is the shiz. I really like their original models. I wanna try their multi tools too, 420HC for like $30.
Yeah they look decent
Just got the 41 Wowowow it’s amazing.
Nice! Yeah it crazy how good it is
Jarred with the Ganzo giggle !
Glad I found these quality budgets for EDC. I’ve lost too many good quality high priced knifes I can’t even count.
I am not a fan of mortising for left and right pocket clips but do not mind the metal inserts as much. I have an earlier FH41 and it is right hand only which is nice. That FH922 is a good looking knife and I will be getting a few of them. I have not seen a wire pocket clip on a Ganzo until now. I collect budget knives and have many Ganzo knives as well as lots of other brands. I like that you don't forget about us budget cheapskates.
👊 it's a good one for sure Definitely recommend
B A N G !! FH923 is fantastic, check it out man..
👊
Got a orange FH922 in a cart waiting to add another then buying
Appreciate the video!
Awesome hopefully you use my link to add in your cart 🙏 👊
@@NeevesKnives of course used the link.. For now went with Titan dark gray FH13.. 2 knifes about $60 total 👍
Yes, for better or worse Ganzo was early and opened the door. I own 2 and they a great knives.
I just hope I don't live long enough to regret.
I have them all and the FH921 has the best action by far. Amazing!
Ooooo, shiny, lol🤣.. Nice knifes.. Ty for the video as always man and take care 😎👍
I have one of these two , will get the other one soon. 922 is probably my favorite knife out of the 30 I have. It's awesome. Blade shape is beautiful and action is great. Favorite budget knifes for sure
Well said bro,I agree 100% about there previous design snatches etc and I never bought any because of that,that now not being the there thing now makes me look at them in a totally different light,they looks smart,but I just don't like the branding in the blade but that's personal preference, however the action and affordability draws me to them even more so now.....and again a non snobby non judgemental video by Jerad unlike other so called reviewer's,in a way I see you as the people's knife reviewer from low end budget to higher end,that is what makes you stand out from the rest.....thanks brother....peeeeace🤘
👊
It’s in my bucket list now mate 🤘🏼
FH41 is my number one recommendation for cheap people who need a gateway drug
Jerad while Ganzo's might be good value I do have problems with companies that allegedly use (or 'borrow') other's designs. While Gazo's certainly aren't counterfeit as they have never pretended to be another company but some of the designs ??? It's not cool to use the intellectual property of others - no different to copying artworks or books. The knife maker has spent a lot of time/effort/$$$ to come up with something new that 1) they can commercialise & make money [they have families & bills to pay too] and 2) get credit for. Copying others is lazy & just discourages the designers from innovating. If you love a design then buy the original as a sign of thanks to the designer & manufacturer 🙂.
Agreed, but their own designs are different
I like both
Verry late on this one but i agree, ganzo make great knives with everything you expect in a pocket knife but for a fraction of the cost 👌, most ganzo models are verry ganzo and maybe one or two that seem like coppies but hey, i dont care if its coppied or not as long as its still done in a decent way imo, i dont have the ganzo coppy of the spyderco yet but sure am planning on getting one soon, i only have 4 ganzo's currently but have many still in mind espeacialy from the fh series, i have the fh61 and fh91 in that series so far and right now my fav edc is my fh61 and its on my carry every moment of every day, though the fh91 is also a brilliant knife too, i just love the unique fh61, what a beutifull and tuff little big knife, both of these you reviewed here are also on my list for shure 👍
How can you not like Ganzo? Great knives and prices 👍🏻👏🏻
You should check out their automatic. I got the G707. It's has been my EDC since I bought it.
I've actually got one of them rt now on loan
@@NeevesKnives Wow! I tell you it's a great knife. Not the greatest but worth every penny. You should own one.
It is really hard for me to find a knife I like. I have dozens of knives that I carried and no longer to use for many reasons. I purchased a Ganzo FH922 based on this video. So far I like it a lot. I bought my brother a Spiderco for Christmas and this Ganzo feels of similar quality. Since I go through so many knives including ones I loose or even break I want one that does not break the bank. I am not a responsible knife owner, I know this. I used your link. I hope you get something out of it.
Completely understandable, and thank you for using the links 🙏
Not bad, but I think the I like the Feldspar a bit more. Love seeing all this tough competition under $50!
Now ya talkin🔪
i have a fh21ganzo.......its better than the benchmade with 2 broken springs i had earlier :D
Lol
Got the cement gray fh41 , mine is not reversible clip .No holes for left hand pocket . Still awesome action .
Wonder if Ganzo is the company EverydayEDC was talking about the other day...? Something about a chinese company, started out with copies/clones/homages/whatever, and are trying to reestablish themselves with their own designs now. There are many that fit the bill, but my guess was either Ganzo or maybe Eafengrow. One of the Amazon brands lol.
Could also be Sanrenmu
Probably shieldan knives
Or Jufule, known for the Benchmade copies. They have some designs of their own now. Although if you take a very good look at these……..
But wel, what is 100% original nowadays?
@@NeevesKnives oh Thats a good guess too, forgot about them.
@@bert2530 also a good guess! Theres a handful of brands it could be. Whoever it is, nice that Theyre "going legit" as they say. 😂
So hard to tell nowadays, are both these original Ganzo/Firebird designs? Love the Ganzos I have, but done buying clones.
Yes they are
A bit off topic, but do you still recommend the Spartan blades harsey 3.25? Trying to decide to either get the small one over the big brother. I know you liked both. Thanks
I do recommend them but I would say you might be happier with a small sebenza, I'm only saying that because the geometry is thick with no Sharpening choil. Very solid knife but definitely more of a hard user, even the quiet carries knives like the waypoint might be a better option. Or the tactile knives. For that size knives. The cutting geometry is very thick for such a small knife unless your planning on prying things with it
Good vidéo......i just come to buy the FH922 before to see your vidéo !
I do the good choice for me.
Bye
👊
Gorgeous knifes bro, take care
They are great for fishing, cutting line and such. I'd rather use a cheap knife than one of my expensive knives. If you lose a $25 ganzo, it's a lot easier to swallow than it is if it's a benchmade or spyderco!
I read a post on reddit sometime last year about a guy who took his SpydieChef fishing and he dropped it in the lake. No more SpydieChef.
I hate losing any.
I see elementum and bugout style competitors
great video
Is it a good knife? Do I like it? Can I afford it? Only three questions with answers I care about.
Is the audio off on this recording? Not sure if something is up with my CZcams app or it’s just the video
It's on your end
Very cool man
I'm curious, what's the difference between Ganzo and Ganzo Firebird? I see near identical models under two different names for the same price and can't figure out what's different.
Ganzo firebird is just there more premium lineup, I'm not even sure if they are doing anything else, so really nothing unless it's older stuff
@@NeevesKnives Thanks for clearing it up. I read somewhere that Firebird has ball bearings whereas regular Ganzos do not, but I could have been mistaken.
They kinda look like a civivi elementum
How do they get away with their cheap prices and stay in business? 😂 I have 3 ganzos and I’m on my way to getting 2 more.
what your recomended from ganzo FH series (fh11-923)?
If you want a liner then the fh41
@@NeevesKnives ok thank you for your respons
Beautiful Knives 🤗🤗🤗can I have them?? 😂
I'd say yeah but you wouldn't send me your address if I told you to
This "intellectual property" argument can get pretty silly, pretty fast. So... if I write a song using a C, G, D chord progression... I'm stealing because there are numerous other songs that use that same chord progression? Or do I have to use the same time signature, the same chord progression, and the same strumming pattern? Or do I have to use the same lyrics? There are thousands, and thousands and thousands of songs. After a while, it's nearly impossible not to copy someone, even if you didn't realize you were copying them.
AND... there are thousands, and thousands, and thousands of knife designs. Sit down and sketch out a knife design that's likely to be popular. I bet you'll find it's VERY similar to at least one other knife that has already been produced. SO WHAT!
If Ganzo wants to give me a knife is nearly as functional, as a similar Spyderco or Benchmade (or whoever), and only charge me $20, then they've EARNED MY $20! Especially when Spyderco and Benchmade want to charge me $150 or $200. It's something called "Free Enterprise" and it's the basis of our economic system. GO GANZO! Do it better... for less, or nearly as well, for less. Give me the functionality in a knife at a price I won't be afraid to actually use or carry!
I call stealing a design "cloning" as opposed to "counterfeiting". The former isn't good while the latter is very bad. Really, I wish Ganzo would just stick with these original designs. They do a nice job for the money and their D2 is decent versus some of other budget knives coming out of China.
If your sharpening this knife so heavy that you hit the plunge line wit hin 1 or 2 sharpening then you are over sharpoening big time.. Or I am just misunderstanding what your saying.
Ganzo cloned, a lot of knives before they started firebird line,
Waiting for one more person to Like so i can be #69
I just got the ganzo. Firebird fh91 and like it. A lot of quality for what your paying
