I don't recommend you buy it...i mean yes, it can be a good knife...and i am not sorry i bought it...i really wanted to do this test...but if I had to chose...a Mora Robust would be picked any time...
Thanks! IMO everybody is free to buy/use/tet what they want. people will complain about it, sure...but I think that the tool you use should be of your chosing...no matter what others say
I have reviewed that knife in my blog and i have seen a lot of videos with test. It is a good knife and tough even not being full tang, but every knife in the world can be broken. Regards!
It is not a full exposed tang...but the tang goes all the way to the pommel which screws into it...so you can ca this one a full tang. it's an ok knife for the money...
Got it on sale for 10€. The factory grind is HORRIBLE. I reground it to 25° and now love it with a passion. The handle is comfy and long enough to hold it at the bottom for better chopping. It's a miracle how well it chops for being so short. The lack of an acute tip is both curse and blessing. Can't really dig into wood but the flat angle gives you more surface to hit with the baton. The sheath is also good, I'd prefer a smaller one without belt cutter though. For the price I paid: 9/10
I have seen this knife on gearbest a few days ago and have been tempted to order it just out of curiosity. However i didnt order it yet, great to see you testing it.
SpartanJohns yeah, i like testing one of those cheap gimmicky knives once in a while, too. I really enjoyed testing the BG ultimate survival knife which failed miserably in the end when the tip snapped prying rotten wood. That Ganzo seems to aim for the same survival gimmicks market as the BG. They seem to have a better heat treat than Gerber though! A mora robust or companion hd for sure outperforms most of those cheap survival knives in any aspect. 100% agreed.
of course! Still a decent hunk of steel...just that for the same money you can still get a Mora Robust and actually use that for anything and enjoy even whittling hard woods.
I've been wondering about this knife,I got a 140 terava jaakaripukko puukko, hasn't let me down yet,still holding an edge an good splitter an batoning as well as carving am food prep.
It is a heavy thick knife...i imagine it would do a good job as a dive knife...Cool! I did not even consider it...but it does have the protruding screw in the handle. Most dive knives have that. I understand it is so you can hit it on your tank to attract other diver's attention...
I think the steel in this one has been heat treated to a lower hardness....so rather than break/snap it would bend...but at 5 mm thick it held up very well
Ganzo face lame durabile, chiar daca face clone dupa foldere consacrate. Eu am G720 pe verde de la ei (tot de pe gearbest) si de 1 an doar o singura data l-am "stropit" :)
eu am mai mute modele de la ei si cam toate imi plac...sunt ieftine iar lamele sunt calite bine. le folosesc la munci la care nu vreau sa bag bricegele mai scumpe...G720-ul meu l-am tot testat si acum il iau la cabana....oricand am de taiat sarme sau chestii cu nisip...nu e sfios :)
