Ganzo G727M-BK Folding Pocket Knife 440C Stinless Steel Blade G10 Handle Camping Hunting Fishing Camping Outdoor EDC Knife (Black)

I'm cheap but using wonky cheaply-built tools make me furious, so like Bruce Banner I am always angry. This knife puts a smile on my face though. It is well-built and feels great in your hand. The scales have a nice texture. The blade is perfectly centered, very sharp, and has no slop. The axis lock is a bit stiff and gravelly but it doesn't bother me and will probably smooth out over time. The clip is sturdy and can be moved to either side. I wish the clip were matte rather than shiny, but that is a personal preference. It's an excellent knife for the money and perfectly enjoyable to use.Pictured with a Spyderco Grasshopper for scale.

Nice knife. Form-wise, this is a copy of Ontario's RAT folder but the lock used in a clone of Benchmade's Axis lock.I have a RAT and really like it but I've had it for years (e.g. 10 or so).I bought a Ganzo Benchmade-clone recently -- Firebird Knife F7562 (Ganzo G7562). I've used that one for working outside and working around the house.So, I figured I might as well check out another Ganzo and spotted this. I am glad I did. It's a good EDC knife.The review: The knife is light to me and it's well made. The blade locks up well with no wiggle and perfectly centered. The edge is sharp and the blade is well-made overall. I can't attest to how strong or hard the steel is but it's held up well to general tasks - cord, boxed, tape, trimming plastic tabs, etc.The lock is easy to manipulate and it's easy to open the knife and close it with one hand. I also like the clip. It sits deep in the pocket and has a Goldilocks level of tension: firmly grips the pocket but not hard to fish out when you need it.All in all. I'm glad I gave this a try. I like well-made, inexpensive knives because I don't feel bad using them - e.g. cutting down boxes, opening a bag of cat litter, etc.All in all, a good price, good product, & quick delivery. Would buy from this seller again and I would be willing to get another Ganzo.

I knew going into this that it was a copy of a Benchmade design, and that while not perfect seemed to be pretty nice according to reviews. The axis lock works great it's a bit stiff but after using it a bit it has gotten better. The blade is fairly sharp "china 440 steel" and will flick out easy using the thumb stud however it takes two hands to close it. I tried adjusting the blade screws to hopefully get it to close with easier however it made the blade wobble so I just tightened them back up and let it be what it is. Overall the knife is a nice design the axis lock works well. is it perfect like a Benchmade ? No but it costs a fraction of a real one, and for the price honestly can't be beat especially if you don't want to edc your expensive knife.

G Lock (Axis Lock copy) is a little stiff. But seems like a good safe design. The blade was absolutely hair-popping sharp out of the box. I got this for my son, and he guessed it at $60. He was shocked that it was under $20 shipped. The action on the knife is superb. Grip shape is about perfect and very safe. My son uses his knives at work really hard, and this knife will get a workout. The blade, being 440C, will sharpen easily, and will strop even easier. This is a good knife, and when factoring in the price is an EXCELLENT value.

First of all, I am a fan of Ganzo knives. However, if I don't like them, I will send them back. Sadly, I have sent back 3 Ganzo 727M's. They all developed things that I didn't like. Especially, that 'lock pin rattle'. No bueno.So, I decided to take a chance and try the, 'little brother', the 727S. Right out of the box, this thing was, 'flippy'. Flick open, flick shut, flick with the lock...no problem! I have never put a driver or oil to it, just nice action from the jump!The knife also is at a great weight, just enough to have some heft. The overall length is useful enough without being intimidating if you need to deploy it around, 'non-knife' people. LOL.I really like this knife a lot. It's a great EDC option if you want something a bit lighter and smaller, without it being a micro knife.IMO, Ganzo punches way above their weight with most of their offerings. I don't get hung up on steel, either. 440C does just fine for a budget knife collector, like me.It's a keeper. I'd grab one.

Purely as a knife, this is a 8.75/10ButThis is a copy of another knife, just with an axis lock instead of a liner lock, and in 440c instead of 8Cr13Don’t get me wrong, 440c is much better, and this axis lock is decent (7.5/10 tbh, not nearly as smooth as CJRB’s or Civivi’s)But this is a clone through and throughBut, as long as you are cool with that, this does provide a pretty good valueThe lock doesn’t stick, and it hasn’t failed yet, and the blade holds an edge pretty wellThe ergonomics are fantastic (duh, that’s why they ripped it off a different knife) and the whole thing just worksA great beater knife, cause this can take 99% of the stuff you’d reasonably throw at it

Very good. Good value. The factory edge geometry was mediocre instead of great, but I reprofiled it and now it is great. In all other respects this is an excellent knife right out of the box. This knife is similar to a Rat 1, but I prefer this one because of crossbar lock versus liner lock. I don't trust liner locks as much as crossbar/G/axis locks, and liner lock detents are too short (in arc degrees of action) because they are only ball detents not spring detents. I plan to carry this knife as my slicey EDC option, and I carry a no-seriously type of Cold Steel for heavier-duty work.

I loved the look and feel of the knife, too bad operation was frustrating. Using the lock felt like the spring of an old pogo stick. I left the knife partially open for 24 hours to try and loosen the lock, it improved a little but still was not comfortable or smooth. The thumb stud and the lock button were both not smooth and it irritated my thumb and index finger. I would not recommend
