This model is so great, one should purchase 2 of them: the CF laminate makes for a classy gentleman's folder, and the G10 is best for everyday use. Love this knife!
Just bought the F7562 CF & F7562 BK in the last week. Love both knives. The G10 is great for work and the carbon fiber is a nice weekend carry. Actions on both were a little sticky out of the box but have slicked up nicely. I enjoy watching your reviews because so many are of knives in my price range and of my taste. Keep up the good work. :)
I get that......but I don't think it's right to take someone's design and blatantly copy it without permission. Put yourself in benchmade or mr osborn. Don't know if I spelled his name correct. But they come up with that design and someone steels it taking food or there table. I know if I was a knife maker and someone stole my design and started underbidding me cause I had to pay my employees I'd be pissed and hope they get hit by a very large buss.
Sour I don't think benchmade or Osborn will go bankrupt just because a Chinese company copied their designs. This ganzo knife can't replace the quality and craftsmanship of benchmade or osborn if you're looking for a highend knife.
Sour just like coke offered the first cola soda in the market, then comes Pepsi, and these companies were making millions if not billions of dollars today.
I just ordered the same one with the black blade. I have another CF Ganzo and they're good for the money. I expect if Kershaw or another bigger name made the same knife, in AUS-8 or 8Cr13MoV it would cost $60. I paid $24 Canadian for the one I just ordered, including shipping. Can't go wrong really. If you lose it or break it somehow, it's not a massive deal. Order another one. They're snazzy looking. The only downside is GearBest orders take up to a month to arrive. Whatever. You forget about it and wake up to a surprise in the mail one day.
really like the honesty - I struggled with the china knockoff aspect and then.... swallowed and said to myself this is a global world and economy and these knives are amazing value. I have since purchased 12; for the price, the quality and if you loose one, grab the next one out of the drawer. Like the channel and the honesty - keep up the good work - CHEERS
Fizisheswa Thanks. I think that the information on these quality low cost knives are a service to those knife enthusiasts that really have a limited budget but still want something quality and functional.
My preference is a satin, even mirror blade,finish-yes fingerprints. I have the F729 in carbon fiber, the carbon fiber is a little slick and shows scratches in reflection, the G10 scale feels good in my hand. Oh, I don't have this blade shape...yet :)of the F756.
LuvThemKnives hey LTK! It was in the mail today...wow! You are right...my cop a tea too. It looks really great, opens really smooth...only the centering is a little bit off. Really glad I''ve bought the knive.
I got mine just for the looks and for the heck to piss of 940 guys or gals.. Completely black with CF scales..I don't like axis lock,I am flipper guy or Buck 110...Buck Vantage is really nice...
Nice looking blade all around. I tried the Benchmade 940 & it felt too small in my XL hand despite all the rave reviews on how comfortable it is. Never bought that knife. This Ganzo looks to be bigger than the 940.
Wow! That's a real good looking knife. Yes, Osbourn inspired, but different enough to know it's not a clone, no way a counterfeit. Solid c construction, affordable - that's why Ganzos rock!
TH-cam recommended this video after I watched a documentary showing how the Chinese jet fighters that look like the American ones they copied are better than the American ones.
I've read that some have chipped the blade when closing with the lock, has that happened to you? I love this design & this one definitely fits my budget better than the "real" one.
I bought 5 of these knives. It has a Benchmade 940 on steroids look. Side by side, the 940 looks small, though it is maybe 1/4" shorter in cutting edge and the Ganzo is taller. The Ganzo has full thick lines, where the Benchmade has small partial inserts. The Ganzo F7562 is not tall for a Ganzo, but it looks beastly next to the Benchmade 940. No doubt, the Benchmade 940 packs a good sized cutting edge into a small light profile; it just does not have the tough combat ready feel on the Ganzo. Still, I can carry the 940 in a dress shirt pocket without weighing it down. Also, the shorter handle makes it easier to manage the axis lock on the Benchmade 940.
we already know you can get a quality knife for cheap money with the Moras, the Swedes hsve a good business model so don't be surprised that someones repeating it. they offer a decent knife then offer it with a few different scales too, all cheap as chips...you end up buying the ones you like and you may as well have bought a Spyderco or A Benchmade
On one of your videos you mentioned a website that sells Ganzo's in the US. Do you remember what it was? I know it wasn't Amazon, although they do sell them at inflated prices.
Amazon sells this knife, depending on color, for between $16.95 and $21.95. You can't get them cheaper even if you order them directly from China, unless you buy in quantity. The cheapest I see is ~$15.21 if you purchase 20+ units. Just go on Amazon and buy them, less than $20 which I consider practically free. Try Ace Knife, they ship from Amazon's warehouse.
PowerMadHeadBanger Here's the link to it on eBay www.ebay.com/itm/Trust-Measuring-Tape-Measure-25-Foot-by-1-Inch-Imperial-and-Metric-Auto-Lock-/142100964966?hash=item2115e0a666:g:tmMAAOSw-kdXw-OO
Its not a piston lock ( what the hell is a piston lock ) its a (g) lock with (g) springs ( that are usually 10 lbs to heavy ) its bigger heavyer and square and sharp corners with slick flat carbon fiber laminated g10 !
I can deal with the branding on the blade but the material these ganzo blades use for the scales are not to my taste at all, its a great shame because some of the blade shapes are really pretty, nice stone wash too!
MrSlicer2424 It loosens up over time. You can also take off the scales and adjust the axis spring. There's a video on TH-cam on how to do it. I mean....it's a knife under $20. What'd you want?

I just bought this knife from Amazon. cant wait to open open open... It'll look great next to my Rat 1 & 2 CF
Awesome knife, it's the love child of my g710 and g7533 cf. I guess I now need one!
Your reviews and that fabulous folder are most certainly my cup of tea. Thanks for another excellent presentation.
This model is so great, one should purchase 2 of them: the CF laminate makes for a classy gentleman's folder, and the G10 is best for everyday use. Love this knife!
out of curiosity, I pulled the scales off of mine today. I figured they were a carbon fiber laminate. but there's CF on both sides!

It was just a matter of time before someone came close to the 940. Looks great
Carbon fiber scales, decent quality steel, decent fit, 20 bucks.
Sold.
Stole someone's vision without permission to be made by slaves for the cheapest price. Priceless
Sour who cares about their vision tho? At the end of the day, we are just consumers.

Cheapest, excellent quality CF knife around... hands down.
thanks. appreciate your channel
never found my way through the website to actually and successfully complete the transaction for this knife
Finn Green I go to this USA seller to get my Ganzo knives www.powercutlery.com
I think 440c is better than AUS 8. lots of tests show it is too. I love these Ganzo knives. not afraid to use them either.
Ganzo Knives rule. If you get one that's tight or has an axis lock that's too strong just remove one of the springs. Good upload!
I just ordered the same one with the black blade. I have another CF Ganzo and they're good for the money.

I believe 440c is a step up from Aus8
I'm dying to get my hands on this exact knife, I'm limited to Amazon so I'm out of luck at the moment, this is by far my favorite ganzo
Destroyer of worlds I've got one I'd sell you
LuvThemKnives I appreciate the offer tremendously but unfortunately I have no pay pal or card so I'll stuck with Amazon cards lol
LuvThemKnives I will take it!
I will also take it
Destroyer of worlds Check out this USA seller. www.powercutlery.com/collections/GANZO
Just saw this after a quick search, ima add the knife to my amazon wishlist.

Thanks for the review. ..just ordered one!
You’re welcome
LuvThemKnives hey LTK! It was in the mail today...wow! You are right...my cop a tea too. It looks really great, opens really smooth...only the centering is a little bit off. Really glad I''ve bought the knive.
Martin Meijler Thanks for the follow up. Great knives
great knife mine is on order and should be with me asap,got it sent just before the chinese newyear cutoff,
I got mine just for the looks and for the heck to piss of 940 guys or gals.. Completely black with CF scales..I don't like axis lock,I am flipper guy or Buck 110...Buck Vantage is really nice...

I'm over the ganzos but this one might just end up in my mailbox
Is that a slight recurve? I sorta kinda almost can't tell.
good point on the satin finish/carbon fiber.
LTK- Thanks for telling about Power cutlery. Sick of waiting for Chinese sellers. I ordered the Piston over two months ago so I had to open a dispute.
I've read that some have chipped the blade when closing with the lock, has that happened to you? I love this design & this one definitely fits my budget better than the "real" one.
If I were so inclined, could I purchase some aftermarket 940 Osborn CF scales and put them on this knife? CF laminates suck.

Scott G
good point. I have a large shirogorov clone with axis lock and its a bitch to close one handed without it sliding out of your hand
I also have this one, but the green g10 handle.
Why can't I find the g729 anywhere?

Is it a piston lock or a axis lock which is very different...Pistons lock work with a barrel spring and not the omega spring please clarify.
been trying for years to get this knife but can never find it anywhere.
Mine has horrible side ro side blade play and tightening up the pivot doesn't seem to help at all.
I like this one
yeah, I like three holes

Man I love your tape measure with fractions. I tried to find one to myself here where I live and couldn't find.
PowerMadHeadBanger I got mine on eBay
What is the name?
PowerMadHeadBanger Here's the link to it on eBay www.ebay.com/itm/Trust-Measuring-Tape-Measure-25-Foot-by-1-Inch-Imperial-and-Metric-Auto-Lock-/142100964966?hash=item2115e0a666:g:tmMAAOSw-kdXw-OO
Hi how much were you selling this one?
Still waiting for that 940 clone LTK!
offroadfreak8582 I'm waiting for 3 different knives that have been hung up for weeks. Driving me crazy
LuvThemKnives yeah I have something from Aliexpress that hit Chicago on the 10th...still waiting.
its 98% identical to the Benchmade Osborne!!!!
Axis lock or piston lock...? I think that’s an axis lock.
i like this knife. the con is too stiff out of box.
Is it smooth?
Pedro Ghattas I thought so.
LuvThemKnives what you mean with "thought"?
Pedro Ghattas I don't have the knife anymore.
I received this knife and it was poop. A blade play extravaganza. I tried to adjust the pivot and just couldn't get it right.
Did I hear a Nick Shabazz reference?
That isn't a piston lock.
Its not a piston lock ( what the hell is a piston lock ) its a (g) lock with (g) springs ( that are usually 10 lbs to heavy ) its bigger heavyer and square and sharp corners with slick flat carbon fiber laminated g10 !
I can deal with the branding on the blade but the material these ganzo blades use for the scales are not to my taste at all, its a great shame because some of the blade shapes are really pretty, nice stone wash too!
CyberMagician carbon fiber g10 and aluminum? I'm sorry I'm missing your point
It's not an Arc Lock
albi131 I get caught saying arc lock. But I mean piston lock.
That disgusts me, just get a 940.
That's an axis lock...
M'aiq Ganzo calls it a G lock.
Lmao why G lock? G as in Ganzo? The Ganzo lock?
M'aiq Actually....yes. G for Ganzo. Lol
If I worked at Benchmade I would be seriously pissed. SOG and Spyderco made their own version of the Axis lock aswell.
Do you think samsung phones are iPhone clones?
Does this Ganzo mob ever do their own designs or they always do rip offs?
Ganzo's axis lock sucks. I should only have to use one finger.
MrSlicer2424 It loosens up over time. You can also take off the scales and adjust the axis spring. There's a video on TH-cam on how to do it. I mean....it's a knife under $20. What'd you want?
+LuvThemKnives You do have a point it is $20 vs $180. I just wish Ganzo would lighten up their springs.
MrSlicer2424 the new ones are easy to use with one finger once they break in
Nope. I will spend the money for a great knife.

yeah we know that it's a axis lock not an arc lock
