Ganzo G727M Folding Knife Review, Best $12 You Can Spend 

These should be considered the gold standard for folders under USD$30. And go head to head with a LOT of more expensive knives (Al MAR SERE 2000 comes to mind). And these also give us a hint that maybe, just maybe, we are being riped-off by a lot of brands. Low wages do not account for the low prices alone.

It is pretty amazing what you can get for $12 these days, Ganzo makes workhorse beater folders for dirty jobs or stocking stuffers.

yeah man I have this and the 704 yesterday! thanks for putting these on my radar.

I ordered one of these back in the first week of January. The Rat 1 copy with the Axis style lock on it... Finally just arrived today. I have to say, this thing is the greatest ferro rod striker in the history of ever. Only took about 5 minutes for me to put my edge on it and it seems like it has a great heat treat on the 440c.

I love my 727, so much that I ordered a different model to test out! should be here any day now and I am really excited about it. Great review!

I just ordered one after watching your review. It Should be a great beater knife to use for work.

I ordered this on your recommendation after seeing this video and I gotta tell you, for $12, this is an amazing knife. 440 C steel. Great fit and finish. Good ergos. I got the camo pattern, which I love! The pivot screw was a tad tight, making the action hard. Loosened it up and now the action is good and will get better with use. It even comes with a stinking velveteen sleeve! LOL EXCELLENT knife for the money, as are all the Ganzos I've previously purchased. Well done!

good review. very happy with the camo version and the handle ergo

Excellent video as always. This is why I enjoy your channel. Never afraid to take items that are overlooked. break them down for the viewer and say hey it's ok to like and purchase these even tho they aren't mainstream. But always a great value. Thanks

Very acurate description. I have a G727 in digicam as well as a RAT1. They are two of my favorite knives.

great review as usual, I agree with you. Sometimes there are works that an expensive knife just can't do. Or places were it just can't be, is more secure to leave it at home.

Love the rat 1 and rat 2 ..I edc them both frequently ..axis lock awesome ..combined BRILLIANT !! nice video

I grew up hunting,trapping so I used knives hard. We always had Old Timers or Buck Knives and they were not expensive but held up great. Now we are getting these newer Chinese knives that fit that same niche pretty well. I love high quality but honestly if I have $300 to spare I'm buying another gun not a knife. Thank you for your reviews on these cheaper alternatives.

Nice video. Ganzo puts out a pretty nice knife for the money. Have purchased a couple of them and was not disappointed.

Picked one of these up a few months ago, for the price I haven't found better for use as a utility blade. Shipping to Australia was free, just took about 8 weeks which was a little frustrating. If you get some more in the range it would be good to see what they are capable of. Thanks again for the the review bud.

Great info

Hey thanks for the review! BTW how is your experience with Gear Best? Just placed an order and super excited about the new knife. But I realized they have a lot of bad reviews as well for the site itself.

I did get a G727, they're pretty great. The Benchmade/Ontario clone is pretty great, if you can swallow your pride. It was worth buying, because now I can admit that they are great value for the money for those that can't afford the knives with better steels than the '440c' (probably 8cr13mov). Great knife though. Also just got the new Griptilian in cpm 20cv and it is amazing.

also check out the g732 and g733... Stretch and endura. By the way, i got mine g727m, everything fine, but it had lock problem, also saw some models came from the factory with cheaply modified lock face. the point is, the original model has to steep slope on the blade tang for the axis, and it needs to be carefully regrind.

I paid $19 for this on Amazon.
