Ganzo Firebird FH91 Unboxing and First Impressions



Link to the knife: Ganzo FH91
Or here (US Shipping): https://amzn.to/3mMr5X6
Comparable option: http://shrsl.com/2iply

In this video I'll unbox and give my first impressions of the new Ganzo Firebird FH91 EDC knife with G10 handle, linerlock, deep carry pocket clip and real D2 blade. This one is a bit beefier and heavier than usual (I measured 4.22oz/119.6g) but is well made and has great ergonomics (reminds me of the     Ontario RAT 1). As could be seen in the video the centering on the FH91 is pretty much perfect as well as the lockup, the action and the sharpness out of the box. Drop shut action and a reversible deep carry clip with the hole cover complete the picture. If you liked the video and the format - please smash that LIKE button and comment your thoughts about the knife and the direction Ganzo is heading down below. Thanks for watching and I'll see you on the next ones. Cheers! #ganzo #firebird #fh91

Newest Ganzo Firebird Models FB762 and FB763 have reached Gearbest!

2 newest and highly anticipated Ganzo models - the FB762 and the FB763 have finally reached Gearbest and seem to be even better (IMO) than advertised by Ganzo a while before the release.

First of all they continue the line of original designs (although we can notice some influence from other knives, but that is practically inevitable in today's market), but not enough to be called clones and even homages.

Second of all - they continue to listen to their customers and FINALLY dropped the blue hardware that was kind of annoying at this point (still hope they will master black hardware some day) and installed deep carry pocket clips on the FB762.

And finally - the FB model name theory have been finally confirmed, so they do come with ball bearings in the pivot and have smooth action out of the box.

Check out the knives here (Specs in the lower right corner):

1. Ganzo Firebird FB7621











They have actually released one more model under the Firebird brand which is the Ganzo F713M (indicating that this is a part of their older series).
If you noticed this is actually an OEM version of another knife - the SOG Salute Mini, but without all of the SOG billboarding all over the knife (which is an advantage IMO).
At this point I have no doubt Ganzo are the OEM factory for SOG.
BTW - the full size (SOG Salute) version is also in the works.

Cheers!

Ganzo Firebird G756 F7562 Review: Good EDC Knife!

So this will be a short review of the Ganzo F7562.

First impressions:
The knife came in the (now) standard Ganzo Firebird branded box.
The fit and the finish were good, so was the action (surprisingly smooth), the centering and sharpness.
The only issue it had was a slight flex in the vertical lockup, no horizontal play at all.


Pros:
- The looks. The knife is really stunning and well executed.

- The ergos. Sits well in my medium sized hand (probably will fit most hand sizes).
- The finish. That relates to the machining of the famous Ganzo CF laminate and the stonewashed finish on the blade.

- Symmetrical grind and sharpening.
- The details. Skeletonized liners (for weight reduce), good gimping and blued hardware. The action is also very good out of the box.
- The steel. Good old 440C from Ganzo (that they have learned how to heat treat properly). There are advantages to sticking to one kind of steel on most of your models.


Neutral:
- The pocket clip. From one side it functions well, one the other - I'd love to see a  black deep carry one on this knife.

Cons:
- That vertical flex (can't even say it's a blade play). It doesn't interfere with the action and the lock still functions well as can be seen from the spine whack test below, but it's always a bit unpleasant when it's there. I know I probably got a lemon, but I have heard from others that they don't have that problem.

Summary:
If not the flex, it would be one of the better knives I ever got from Ganzo (on par with the F753M1) and one of my favorite knives overall. With that being said I still like it very much for the other positive features and the spine whack test convinced me it is a solid blade, so I will use and carry it in my rotation.
