Ganzo G720-BK Tactical Folding Knife Multi Tool Window Breaker 440C Blade Black G10 Handle w/ Paper Box & Draw String Bag G720

I have a number of knives (spydercos, etc); something of a knife problem, like many of the reviewers on this thread reviewing this knife. This is my favorite, and my EDC. Specifically, I enjoy using it more than a spyderco Manix which used to be my EDC, and als more than other Ganzos I have (e.g. the G7412, and G7392).Pros: its really solid, and aesthetically it appeals to me--I grin when using it. It IS big and heavy, which I find satisfying. Another HUGE plus is the deep-carry pocket clip, so that when it is in my pocket, it doesnt stick out, and is not obtrusive. What's more, because it is clipped on the pocket edge and not sitting at the bottom of the pocket, I dont feel it when walking, even though it is heavy/big. If I had it sitting at the bottom of my pocket, it would indeed be too big/heavy. So, I find it very comfortable, probably why it is my sole EDC knife--whenever I go to one of my others, I remember that their clip ends up having the knife sticking out of the pocket a bit, which makes me uncomfortable as others sometimes react. I don't know if it is indeed 440C or not, but it takes a very nice edge, and holds it reasonably. A few passes on the sypderco sharpmaker get it back to shaving sharp. I find the lockup great. Quite solid. I've never had it fail (have been using knife everyday for ~ 2 months). Finish is good; blade is well centered. The handle G10 is grippy and comfortable. I've beaten on the knife (hacking through vines, small tree trunks, etc. in the garden); things that I would never consider doing with a more expensive knife. The weight of the knife makes such endeavors very satisfying, and it has held up well to the abuse. I bought a second as a back up, in case I finally do destroy it, though no evidence of problems so far. The knife is a steal at this price.Cons: It is heavy, if that bothers you. It is a copy of a lionsteel knife costing more, so there is potentially a moral issue there, though I would never have purchased a $180 lionsteel, so that doesnt bother me much. The lock is a bit stiff when originally purchased. Put a bit of teflon-type lubricant into the blade pivot, and things loosen up a lot. After a bit of use, its great. The 'stiff lock' issue isnt really a big deal, only an obstacle to playing with the knife (i.e. using a flick to open blade in conjunction with Axis lock; opening the blade using the thumb studs is easy even out of the box). The texture of the G10 handle does make it slower to get out of a tight pocket. Makes sure you wont lose it, but could be bad if you're focused on self defense. Overall, this is likely a lousy self-defense blade--it is too wide, and not 'pointy' enough. So, that might be an issue for some.Con

Let me just say that I collect knives. I have about 50 high-end knives and about 20 budget knives. I'm a huge fan of ColdSteel and Spyderco. I trust my life to them! I bought this Ganzo to be my at work Beater. It's WAY to early for me to say if it's going to last but I can comment on the initial quality. The G-720 came sharp, felt like Gerber sharp. It's big too and a tad on the heavy side but to me that's positive attributes. The Lockup is solid and it feels real good in hand. The fit is perfect, the ergonomics are well designed. For the price, you get an Axis lock which I prefer over Liner locks. I gave the knife some shots to the spine, the lock seems to hold. DO I trust my life on this knife? Not yet. But for the price it has proven so far to be a great EDC blade. I keep waiting on the bottom to drop but it hasn't let me down. I hope she lasts because she is a good looking and feeling knife.

I like this knife. I typically steer clear of imported knives but I bought this one along with a Ganzo G727M (also a really nice knife), because the price was right and I wanted to explore an axis lock style knife. This is a beefy, seemingly well built knife. The knife came hair cutting sharp right out of the box. The blade thickness at the spine is about 4mm. The blade thickness along with the heavy duty liner gives the knife its heft. The spine is ground to 90 degrees and will spark a ferro rod like nobody's business. While I haven't used the knife long enough to determine overall durability I will say that in an ungloved hand the grips will tend to bite into the palm and fingers after any type of long term carving or feather sticking, but then I tend to use a fixed blade knife for most of these chores and rely on a folder as a back up only knife. My local Boy Scout troop only allows folders for the scouts so I might give this knife to my 12yo son to use. He is able to easily deploy and retract the blade. However, one word of caution, if you pull the axis lock back to unlock the blade and then give it a flick with your wrist to close it, make darn sure your pinky finger is out of the way of the closing blade. The blade is hefty and will develop some speed when closing in this fashion. It's not like you'll lose a finger or anything but you might get a minor cut and hopefully a lesson learned. One final thought: This is my first axis lock style knife that I have ever owned. The lock is easy enough to use and provides for a strong blade lock-up, but I am concerned about the long term durability of the tiny wire spring that is used in this type of lock. Only time will tell. Overall, this is a heavy-duty and functional knife for a really reasonable price.
