GANZO FH11S-GY Pocket Folding Knife Ball Bearing D2 Steel Blade G10 Anti-Slip Handle with Clip Hunting Fishing Gear Camping Outdoor Folder EDC Pocket Knife (Gray)

I love this knife. It is exactly what I was looking for. After carrying around a knock-off Spyderco Mamba for a few years, which I LOVED but it was massive and extremely heavy, I wanted something that would get the job done while being extremely lightweight--the opposite end of the spectrum. This knife fits the bill. My last knife had my shorts constantly falling down; this one is gravitationally invisible. Here's what I love about it: 1. The price. This was the only carbon fiber, decent steel folding knife I could find for sub $50. And it was half that price!! It's VERY cheap, yet it's a great knife. I hope that price lasts forever. 2. The weight. Made primarily of carbon fiber, it weighs slightly under 3 ounces, and it is very lightweight. The only time I notice it's there is when I touch it or press against it. This is a knife you can easily carry in basketball shorts that tend to fall down. 3. The materials and quality. It's carbon fiber and D2 steel. I'm not a steel expert, but from what I understand, D2 steel is the upper end of cheap pocket knife steels. Nowhere near the top tiers of steel, but well above cheap 440 and similar things. It came VERY sharp, and has held an edge very well. It's a small knife, for sure. If you want a big Mamba, get something else. But I'm a 6'4", 240lb male, and while it feels small in my hand, it's good enough to get the job done. It's sturdy, lightweight, sharp, and well made. I'll love having this knife for years to come.

I think it's hardly a secret, anymore. This knife is a value king. The lockup is good - lockup is 100% of the liner (which is relatively thin). No lock stick. The ergonomics are average - Some edges are slightly sharp, but nothing terrible. The texture on the flipper tab is a touch aggressive but effective. The price? Amazing. For the $25, this knife has few equals. I think the next step up is the Ontario Rat for around $35-$40. The hardware is actually hard. The blade steel is also hard and takes a great edge. The action is slightly rough at first, but breaks in great although it never fully looses the slightest amount of grit right before closing. Detent tension is spot on. Blade stock is slightly thinner than I was expecting but still fine for the price. My only real gripe is that you have to snug up the pivot quite a bit to completely get rid of blade play - the action is still smooth and still flips 100% of the time) If someone is looking for a GOOD pocket knife for the least amount of money, this is now my go to suggestion.

4.5 stars in actuality, but 10 stars for value. I've been using this now for about 6 months, and I love it. It came very sharp, it holds an edge, it fits my hand, and is pretty comfortable. Often these designs that have a scoop in the scales for the first finger leave the handle a little short for my hand. This knife's handle is long enough, 4.17", for all four of my fingers. The flipper deploys the knife easily and painlessly, and the detente is just right. On the negative side, I have only minor quibbles: 1. the liner-lock lock-up is surely sufficient, but the overlay is scanty; 2. the top sides of the G10 scales are lightly chamfered, but this still leaves edges that are a bit unpleasant (though not really bad); the holes in the scale to mount the clip were not put in quite straight, so the clip does not lie quite straight. It's not off by much, but it's still a surprise, as these holes are no doubt put in by machine. I paid $23 for this knife. It's an unbelieveable bargain.

This knife feels great in the hand with nice weight and balance. The grips are great and the blade is very sharp out of the box. Very easy one hand operation with the help of the flipper tab. The pocket clip gives a nice deep carry. It has a smooth open and close and locks up nice when open. The liner lock is easy to use. Just a quality knife at a great price.

It's my EDC/gentleman's knife. Very sharp out of box. Very useful. I have little larger version that I use at home, but this one is little less intimidating when I use it in the office break room :-)

I wasn't expecting much, but much is what I got. It's balanced, the grind is even, the blade is reasonably sharp. I'll probably sharpen it just a teeny bit as it isn't razor sharp, but it came in a perfectly acceptable level of sharpness for everyday carry. It opens and closes flawlessly, and locks safely. It's not off center at all. There's no wobble but it still moves smoothly. I can open it with my index finger without using any leverage. Aesthetically, the green is very nice and has no blemishes. Same with the metal components. It's on the lighter side, but is heavy enough for comfort. Grip is good. It has a loop for a lanyard and the clip seems good for now. Time will tell how the screws, action, and blade hold up. If my review hasn't updated, assume that it has performed well, as I am hoping it will

Each year for Christmas, I’ve gotten my dad a d2 pocket knife as part of his stocking stuffers and it’s usually with this brand because the is so good for the price. This knife is extremely sharp out of the box, the action is ridiculously smooth for the price tag, and it feels pretty durable. Highly recommend!
