Ganzo G729-BK Folding Pocket Knife, 440C Stainless Steel Blade, Ergonomic G10 Non-Slip Handle with Clip, Hunting, Fishing, Camping, Folder, Axis Lock, Outdoor EDC Knife (Black)

I’m going to talk about the elephant in the room right away. Yes it’s similar to the Spyderco Para 2. If I’m Ganzo why not make a knife that is popular as the Para 2. This Ganzo knife holds up on its own. The fit and finish is done very well, comes surprisingly sharp out the box. The 440C steel is a great steel fo the price point. Has amazing edge retention, and stainless. People seem to sleep on 440C good edge retention for the price. Way better than, 8cr13mov holds an edge even better than 14c28n. I would put it near D2 when heat treated right, and Ganzo does a good job on their heat treatment. The G10 is nice the thumb hole has good access, and the cross bar lock works amazing, with great action. Now I’m not going to sit up hear and tell you that this knife is as good as a Para 2, which I own as well, but for most of us who can’t go out hear and spend $200+ dollars on knife’s this is a very nice affordable alternative.

Well I think I finally lost it. You could show up again you never know. This knife was a workhorse. I put a working edge on it to where I wouldn't be sharpening it all the time and it held an edge forever and was my favorite work knife. I'm going to end up buying another one if I don't find mine. Before they became a full brand they were actually a clone company. So a lot of their knives are clones of very popular knives and in good quality steel. Right now I have a bug out clone from them that is amazing. The biggest issue with the bug out was this all plastic and the clone that they make has steel scales. All their knives are great for the price.

The knife is great, and at its price, it's a must-buy. It's heavily inspired by the spyderco paramilitary 2 and effectively serves as a working-man's alternative to it; after all, what good is an incredibly expensive knife if you're afraid to ever use it? It arrived adequately sharp, and it was easy to bring it to razor sharpness. 440C steel is fairly durable, easy to sharpen, fairly resistant to rust, and holds an edge for a decent length of time, making it a good all-round steel; it's not going to blow your mind on any singular aspect, but it won't fail at any either, making it a jack of all trades. The blade shape is wonderful; the combination of a full flat grind and being almost entirely belly (a knife's belly is the curved portion) means that it just wants to glide through whatever you're cutting, and because of the jimping on the back and the finger choil on the front, you can choke up for even more control over the blade and its tip. The finger hole works well, and the knife can comfortably be flicked open with either your thumb or middle finger on either hand. The whole knife is ambidextrous. The finger hole works well, and the knife can comfortably be flicked open with either your thumb or middle finger on either hand. It also has a tip-up pocket clip that can be moved to either side, though if you're used to deep-carry pocket clips, the knife may stick out more than you're used to. The G-lock (which is what Ganzo calls their axis lock) can be used to flick the knife open or closed, but its springs came with an incredible amount of tension—much more than any other axis lock I've ever owned—and it was enough to make it painful to engage the lockbar. The springs can be adjusted, but it's something you'll have to do yourself; there are tutorials on Youtube that can guide you through the process. For what it's worth, the knife is amazing; you'll likely have to fiddle with the axis lock springs, but once you do that, you'll have a knife that punches FAR above what its price would suggest.

The Ganzo G729 is an intriguing knife that immediately draws comparisons to the iconic Spyderco Paramilitary 2. The similarities in design are undeniable, but the G729 carves its own path with a few notable distinctions. One of the standout features is the axis-style lock, a mechanism often associated with Benchmade. While not as refined as the original, the G729's axis lock functions reliably and securely, offering a satisfying "click" upon deployment. The blade is a highlight, arriving razor-sharp out of the box. Crafted from 440C stainless steel, it strikes a balance between edge retention and ease of sharpening. It may not hold an edge as long as premium steels, but it proves more than capable for everyday cutting tasks. The G10 handles provide a comfortable and grippy hold, further enhancing the overall user experience. They offer a solid feel in hand and exude a sense of quality that belies the G729's budget-friendly price. If you're a fan of the Paramilitary 2 but seeking a more affordable alternative, the Ganzo G729 is worth considering. It may not be a perfect clone, but it delivers a commendable performance at a fraction of the cost. The G729 is a testament to Ganzo's ability to offer value-driven knives without sacrificing essential features or functionality

An inexpensive knife, I gave to a friend who has a habit of misplacing knife’s lol I can not attest to the blade steel but imho it was well worth the price

es la primera Ganzo que tengo y estoy flipado lo bien que esta hecha y el poco precio que tiene

Looks well built. Locking mechanism is still and hard to flick

Das Messer ist sorgfältig geschliffen+ hat 1 gute Arbeitsschärfe. Aber das ist eigentlich gar nicht so wichtig, auch wenn viele Rezensenten großen Wert darauf legen. Schließlich muß 1 Messer, mit dem gearbeitet wird sowieso öfters geschliffen werden. Wichtiger ist, keine groben Verarbeitungs oder Materialfehler vorzufinden. Sowohl die Klinge, der Griff, die Scheide sind erstklassig + ohne Fehler hergestellt. Der Schliff ist bei Bedarf leicht nachzuschärfen. Am Übergang zwischen Klinge+ Griff, sowie in der Scheide gibt es keine Stellen, an denen sich Schmutz sammelt. Alles ist gut durchd8+ leicht zu reinigen. Ob es spülmaschinenfest ist, habe ich noch nicht getestet. Aber es gibt bisher keine Zeichen von Korrosion. Wer 1 robustes Arbeitsmesser haben möchte, mit dem Lebensmittel bearbeitet werden sollen, oder jegliche handwerkliche Schneidarbeiten, wird hier gut bedient. Zu den Dingen die im Grunde andere Werkzeuge erfordern, wie Feuerholz spalten, oder andere extreme Belastungen 4 SCHNEIDWERKZEUGE, kann ich nur raten, passendes Werkzeug zu verwenden. Dies ist 1 Schneidwerkzeug. Verwende es so+ es wird lange gut sein. Sobald ich 1 weiteres brauche, werde ich dieses berücksichtigen.l

Bien acabada y bien funciomiento,acero bueno y bien afilada con una buena ergonomia.

Great design, good quality, and axis lock are a big plus, perfect weight, delivery on time before chrismas. Perfect for camping and outdoor.
