Firebird GANZO FH31 Pocket Folding Knife Wharncliffe D2 Steel Blade G10 Anti-Slip Handle with Clip Camping Hunting Fishing Folder Outdoor EDC Knife (Black)

Ganzo delivers on quality at a very attractive price. Bearings make for smooth blade flip. I’m a fan of the Wharncliffe blade style; it holds an edge and is easy to sharpen. Small complaint is the edge was a bit dull out of the box. Easy to fix.

When I ordered this knife, I read through reviews that said they had Rockwell tested the blade and verified it was the hardness of D2 steel, which is what it's advertised as and what stamped on the blade. For the price point, that already makes this a deal. The other features I was looking for were the cleaver style of blade, assisted open, and the location of the pocket clip. I had no huge expectations above and beyond that. This far exceeded my expectations. The assisted open is very smooth, and it locks firmly in place with no wobble horizontally. It is also SUPER sharp. Out of the box, this was sharp enough to shave my arm and cut through the Amazon package it came in with no more than the weight of the blade itself. There was no resistance at all. Next, I cut through coconut fiber mat with very little resistance by puncturing the inside of the mat. From the edge, there was a little more resistance, but that's really a testament to how sharp this is. I can't speak on the subject of edge retention yet, but color me impressed so far. I expected to hold an edge fairly well just being that it's made from D2 steel. The card that came with it advertised it as laser sharpened, which I don't remember being a selling point when I was going through the product information, but something worth noting

Pretty well balanced blade, love the feel of that handle and blade, the scales feel nice in my grip, not as smooth as people say when flipped and opening but oil can fix that. This blade did come SHARP out of the box, was able to cut thin strips of card stock no problem.. the only thing I do t like is the clip doesn't go all the way into my knife pocket, maybe because I’m a wrangler man or because this is a larger carry blade.. still it’s not seem less. I’m sometime afraid it’ll fallout but thus far It hasn’t. This is D2 steel and it’s more than enough for your normal EDC needs, like I tell everyone if you need anything stronger and more dependable just get a fixed blade made from better mat’s! I got the Olive green edition and it kicks butt! Highly recommended especially since the price is GREAT!

Another great one from Ganzo. Looks great in carbon fiber. Ganzo is the King of value knives!

I first came to appreciate the practicality of this relatively straight cutting edge style blade from carrying the slightly smaller and sleeker Ganzo FH51 (now hard to find). Like that model, this knife has the feel of a quality tool — built to exacting tolerances, with a low friction bearing and finger flick opening ergonomics. No pretensions, no sharp edges. Just the right design that’s easy on your pocket — and your pocketbook.

I got this fairly inexpensive Wharncliffe style knife and was pretty jazzed! ...for like 3 days. Now, because the carbon fiber handle scales could have literally been cut from the exact same carbon fiber sheet as the sales on my CRJB Crag (also D2 blade) that they were going to DEFINITELY BE making up the difference in price point somewhere... The lanyard hole/back-spacer is just cheap plastic and not very precision cut or fitted.. but, okay... Also 2 of the little torx screws that hold the scales on & frame together were already stripped and I'd never even taken it apart yet. So it is Q.C. That is the corner that they had to cut to deliver this knife and this price? The screws and even the the back spacer are replaceable & fixable (respectively) So if these 2 very minor oversights can save production cost enough money to where they could sell this pretty dope-ass knife for under $30.00, they Cheers to Ganzo or Firebird or which ever is the company and not the model name. Since the 1st thi g I do when I get a new pocket knife is take it apart & tinker with it, I look forward to replacing this and that any how. However, there was 1 other little Q.C. overight... The first time I really looked over this neat little gadget, I noticed the very tip was a little bit bent.. Again, this is brand new and I haven't even used it yet and haven't even gotten to my customary New Knife - take it apart/put back together yet, because I needed better torx bits to get the 2 already stripped and overly tightened screws out still. This is when I noticed the very teeny-tiny tip was bent at a good 15°-20°. So, using the proper tools for this very job, secured on my little anvil's flat spot & with my tiny engineering hammer that came in one of my katana cleaning kits, slowly and gently "tap-tap-tap" it back straight & true. Then I was going to re-sharpen and strop for good measure... With just 1 little tap (so not even getting to apply the other -tap-tap) and the very tip shattered like a little piece of glass! I could not believe what I just saw!! Now,, I'm no, nor have ever been a fan of D2 tool steel for knife blades, BUT have others like my Crag, which I AM RATHER FOND OF EVEN IN D2. So even though I'm hot a huge fan of D2, I've also noever been a hater of it. Hell, maybe I should be, right? OR... Maybe this D2 wasn't properly heat treated? Maybe it was one of these "D2-ish" alloys? Or a close enough alloy (such as SKD11) that Ganzo can call it D2? (If someone was to imposter a steel type, they'd certainly aim higher amongst today's super steel varieties, or at least one would thi k) Basically... I don't know? Every YouTube review on it sings its praises and rightly so, considering the specs and still at the bottom rung of budget knife price spectrum. Maybe I bout the one defect out of the 10's of Thousands that are out there now!! Sure! But I've seriously considered buying another. Instead however,, I now have a ONE OF A KIND-MODIFICATION & a super-wonky looking non-modified wharncliffe, (still a regular wharncliffe even after the mod) re-profile/file job, which I'll picture below.. I also took off some of the false grind on the top to keep at a similar angle,, just being a quarter inch shorter.. I call it my EDC, as in Rainy Day Carry, instead of my Every Day Carry. So the Hunt for an actual real quality Wharncliffe Flipper at the budget end of the pricing spectrum continues...

I love the blade design. D2 steel. Hair shaving sharp. Smooth action but not as smooth as my FH41. The carbon fiber is not as grippy as G10 and looks a little "mall ninja". I wish I got the G10 version instead but I'm keeping it because I don't have another knife in carbon fiber. One thing I had to do was file the jimping down. It is in a unnecessary position and your finger hits it when you flick the knife open. This becomes uncomfortable when you are flicking this thing for hours like I did. Overall great knife but I would recommend it in G10 over carbon fiber and I like the Ganzo FH41 better. Ganzo's are the best value for the money, so no regrets.

I have a number of Ganzo knives and for the most part, really like them and this knife is no exception. The finish is wonderful and the blade is perfectly centered. The D2 steel is nice and holds a good edge. It's not the most practical blade shape, in my opinion, so it's not likely I'll carry this every day, but it'll definitely go into the rotation. The flipper action is just "ok' and I have to say, I expected better. It flips all the way open and locks most of the time, but requires a bit more effort than it should. It doesn't feel like it's on bearings, that's for sure. That said, it feels really good in the hand when using it. One thing I really love about this knife though is how thin it is compared to all the other Ganzo knives I have. It practically disappears in the pocket, which is not common for Ganzos. I also like the deep carry clip. All in all, it's not my favorite, but I'm a fan and am glad I purchased it.

Gewohnt schnelle Lieferung und voller Vorfreude ausgepackt: Meine Fresse, was ein geiles Teil. Sauscharf und ungewohnte, aber faszinierende Klingenform, bin gespannt wie diese sich im Alltag gibt. Verarbeitung: Da klappert und wackelt nichts, die Griffschalen sind sauber verarbeitet und liegen gut in der Hand. Insgesamt ein echt robustes und sensationelles Design, finde ich. Flipper etwas schwergängig, aber das gibt sich mit Nutzung und/oder etwas Öl. Ist mein erstes Ganzo und ganz ehrlich: Ich sehe mit diesem Messer als Beispiel keinen Grund z.B. Spyderco und anderen teuren Herstellern soviel Geld in den Rachen zu werfen wenn Hersteller wie Ganzo das deutlich günstiger hinkriegen. Für mich als Normalnutzer, der nicht stirbt wenn das Messer mal stumpf wird, eine ganz klare Kaufempfehlung und ich werde mir sicherlich weitere Messer von Ganzo ansehen und vermutlich auch kaufen. Meiner Meinung nach ein spannender Konkurrent zu Spyderco und co.

Mag ich sehr

Top Preis/Leistung!

Genau was ich mir vorgestellt habe
