Don't know if it's just me, but the older I get, the more comfortable I am carrying a smaller folder in my pocket, especially when traveling. This little gem is just what the doctor prescribed. Thanks for the great review.
I'm geting to be the same with carrying a small knife .I just guess big knifes don.t mean that much that we older guys think we have to carry big knifes any more .don.t get me wrong I do like to carry a big knife once in a while .but I've come to know that a small knife is really all I need. Getting older is becoming scary .
I'm 17, i picked up a 1.5 inch-ish bladed spiderco knock off from a friend. It's been nice having something really tiny and sharp to carry everywhere. I have a boker magnum special forces knife, it's great but a bit big to use in public areas (about 3.8 inches) , in that aspect it's great to have a small knife like y'all said already.
i see a pattern here as all my friends that are my age are into smaller blades. and the guys that are 20 years ahead of me have this thing for small dogs. it's weird.
I'll never regret buying this little beauty. So light, such a great steel, and, wow! this baby has a very nice finger choil, which the Delica doesn't have. I wanted a very thin blade knife to take my travels, and up to now, my Opinel no 8 had it all together (still does). This baby, however, has a thinner blade than the Opinel, and it just doesn't stop slicing! Contrary to many comments about the F759M being the least favorable Firebird knife, I think this is one of the very best. Great small knife.
I bought several of these on flash sales. They are very well made, have nested steel liners and bronse washers. Yes, the design is borrowed from Spyderco/Byrd. No, it is not a clone and does not pretend to be a Spyderco or Byrd.
I keep ordering these when they go on sale. I keep giving them away. It's a great gift for someone who is not a knife person. If they get into it, they can always upgrade. I also keep one in my car.
I just today cut up 5 big boxes into smaller pieces to fit in recycle bin. It ate that cardboard up like a Big Bird. I finished up, gave it a strop and it’s good as new. I love this knife, seriously I have two💪🏻✌🏻
I've got a couple. Very useful knife and great weight. Easy to sharpen. A bit difficult to reassemble , I took both mine apart and polished up the pivots and blades on a Dremel. As I said a pig to put back together but now they are just super smooth and excellent slicers. Always have one on me an they're the knife I hand someone if they need to borrow a knife. So much for so little. As someone else said these really aren't a downgrade from the meadow lark since they use better steel and Ganzo are pretty serious about quality control in my experience.
I own multiple budget knives, including Ontario Rat1, Spyderco Tenacious and others, but for a while my favorite has been the Ganzo G729, which is a Paramilitary clone variant. I've been looking at the F759M for something a bit smaller and I think it's a no brainer for 10$ CAD, thanks for the review
Getting into back packing and wanted a light weight beater that wouldn't make me cry if I lost it. This is definitely the one. The price is $25 now on their website but I found them for $15 on ebay
I've bought 3 of these on Amazon over the past year as gifts for co-workers/friends. This is a great knife in so many ways for the price, even at today's $15.95 price. The 440c steel takes a vicious edge as well.
A 440c ganzo 759 a downgrade from a Byrd? 8cr13mov byrd is the downgrade. The ganzos a downgrade, why because it cost $10 less? Ok, it's cheaper but it's no downgrade.
Got most of the Ganzo's and love them, however this model stays on my side at all time, it's so light and perfect size for EDC like it's not even there and very inexpensive. Love it. They do come a little stiff though but works out.
reminds me of my sogzilla I had found on the ground too... thats a great little knife and its strong as can be considering it was obviously ran over but still perfect as could be minus one side of the handle being damaged.
I own this knife, it is a good knife...I also owned a Delica. Hands down buy the F759 for the price difference. Its better than the Meadowlark as well. My Meadowlark had blade play and a chipped blade after some use, Ganzo is still tight in all directions after a couple months of use. Byrd steel is no good.
Just about to buy a few Ganzos so been researching here on YT and I've got to ask, what do people use the expensive knives for? I mean, when do you say, "This job is for my $500 knife!" I get it if they're just for collection sake, but I don't hear people say that so just wondering. Very much appreciate your views and reviews.
@@kpfagerberg Unless they are "buying it for life" to have for generations. It's more pea-cocking, they can post on social media and share amongst their colleagues. Also there is a psychology aspect to buying "luxury" item, it is considered is better and they get a sense of experiencing "the finer things in life", even if they cheaper items are of similar quality or better.
nah, if you wanna downgrade from from spyderco you go ganzo and then byrd :D ...i got this one for my gf to lose it somewhere and its still sharp after i sharpened it like 3 months ago and she still has it asa well :))
LTK, I ordered this from Gearbest about three weeks ago on a flash sale for $7.99 Ridiculous for the price, I love my Ganzo CF's !! But couldn't pass this up..Now I wish I bought 5 !! LOL
Great little utility knife. Another RU-vid reviewer points out that the scales are not rounded nor as well fit as the Spydercos and that there is a bit of flex in the blade side to side. For $10 you are getting a nice value though. The ergonomics are there just the same. Opens with ease, fits the hand nice and has good steel for the price. Thanks for the review.
First off, luv the channel and luv your enthusiasm for them knives. Secondly, luv Ganzo knives. Discovered your channel while looking at reviews of the G7522 on Gearbest. I have since bought the G7522, F753M1, G8012, G7511, F7562 and have on order the F720 + G7542 WD2. The F753M1 is a similar size to this one but with a G lock and is probably my most used knife. Keep reviewing the budget knives.👍
sa59z Thanks for your support for my channel. I'll continue to put up the budget knives. I like exploring that category of knives. It's always interesting.
ive never broken a tip off of a knife... I may have rounded a few slightly but never broke... bent sure bent my mini onslaughts tip but thankfully it hammered back to 95% straight
@@Khronokai still have it in my bugout bag. I've only sharpened it twice. I just took it out to let at the edge before I relied to you & it's still razor sharp. Sliced paper with ease.
Been thinking about buying either a Delica or Meadowlark since I first got the feel for a homely little Byrd called Robin, but I guess I'll just get me a Ganzo to beat on and save up a bit to one day buy me a real fancy Spyderco to drool on🤔
Why do people keep prying with their knives? My idiot brother brother did that and snapped the tip off an early 70's limited edition schrade trapper with a carbon steel blade, a gift from his father-in-law. Carry a victorinox, use the stupid can opener to pry with or any of the cheap, light pry tools sold by knife companies.
I guess they do not the value of a knife or they do not know any better than to do it .knifes are not to pry with but so many dum people do it .I guess they have not been enterduest to a screwdriver .
@@LuvThemKnives thank you Sir for your reply, I appreciate that. I've got 5 ganzos and I've been apprehensive about carrying them because I've heard so many mixed reviews about them.
Mine has a tiny bit of side to side play unless you tighten the pivot to the point its ridiculously difficult to open. Even with the pivot adjusted and well lubed, its rough opening. The edges of the thumb hole are almost sharp, certainly enough to be uncomfortable. You by a $10 knife, you get a $10 knife. Ganzo/Firebird makes some nice knives, but this isn't one of them. Its cheap and it cuts is about all you can say about it.
This is great! But honestly if you're wanting a budget delica, I'd get the byrd Meadowlark 2 for only $20. Overall I enjoy your reviews! You remind me of AVE
Xavier Well....it's not a true clone....doesn't use the logos or trademark of the meadowlark.....and it's now selling at approximately $7.99 which is 1/3 the price,and it has 440C blade steel as opposed to 8CR13MOV. So...... I understand your point of view.....but if it sells well and makes them money.....then I guess it makes sense to them.
