Ok folks- I apologize if you’re getting Ganzo fatigue. I think I might be too. I only have one more coming up for a while, the 7212. For now check out the Ganzo G722 frame locking folder. Ganzo uses 440C stainless in this fine specimen (like the others I’ve reviewed). It’s by far my heaviest pocket knife, and I was pretty impressed with it’s size and weight when I first opened the box.
Surely there’s something that needs to be hacked up to put it through the paces? Fear not- I forgo-ed the paper and card board stuff this time and wailed on a small shrub growing up against my fence. While an axe or machete would have made much shorter work of it- I wanted to see how well it held an edge. Spoiler alert: it’s still hair shaving sharp afterward.
Anyway the video is short, and there’s some nice macros of the blade AFTER I chopped the bush and cut up some sticks. Ganzo doesn’t state what the blade profile is, but looking at the close-ups, is it a flat ground? I think so, but correct me if I’m wrong. Anyway the blade is still razor sharp and won’t need to be sharpened for some time, in fact I used it as a steak knife last night. I think a few other people already have this knife, and it seems like it’s a winner all around. Feel free to chime in if you have it. Ganzo says the 440C has an HRC 58, which I think I forgot to mention in my review.
Anyway this was provided by review from Gear Best, and the knife is available for $16.99 until September 30th with the coupon code: GBG722. They provided me with the following link to use. I have no idea if it’s necessary or not. http://goo.gl/cRxr90 But it’s not affiliate with me, and I get no monetary compensation from it.
As most of my reviews, I shot this with my Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera, which shoots amazing video, and is easy to use. Most of my lenses are cheap 35mm vintage MF lenses, and some C-Mount lenses too. Without further ado, check out this beast of a knife and visit my blog if you’re bored.
