FirebirdGANZO FH11 Pocket Folding Knife D2 Steel Blade G10 Handle with Clip Hunting Fishing Camping Outdoor EDC Knife (Black)

D2 steel sharpened perfectly into a long useful blade with a great belly, nicely textured G-10 scales, a secure liner lock, smooth ball bearings, & perfect blade centering make this knife an absolute DREAM to own & use. Nice touches like jimping for your thumb at the base of the blade, & a really nice pocket clip are bonuses.In my opinion, this is one of the very best knives you can buy for your money. At less than $25 this knife beats some others that are twice, or even thrice the price.This knife, in my opinion, is on par with a lot of, say, Civivi knives I've seen in terms of quality to price ratio.Unbelievable knife, & if you've gone far enough to read reviews on it, stop now & buy one for about a $20 bill & a $5 bill. You will assuredly be glad you did.

This is a first impressions review (I'll try to remember to update it later).I only had one Ganzo/ Firebird knife before this one and while it impressed me for an $18 knife, I really wanted to get my hands on one of these supposed D2 blades (seriously HOW did they make it with D2 steel at this price). Packaging was just as nice as the other folder I have. The bag is a really nice touch. But there was a problem with the knife. It LOOKS like the one in the picture but what I received for the price was WAY off. I thought they mistakenly sent me an $80-100 knife... easily. It was butter-smooth without any adjustments/ breaking in. No blemishes, no burrs, heck even the G10 looks absolutely astounding. I thought the flipper stud was going to be too small but it's ridged perfectly. It also sports a deep(ish) pocket clip (doesn't go all the way to the top of the scale). Something I normally would have to shell out a few extra bucks to upgrade to. The partial backspacer is a very nice touch and adds character I'd expect from a custom.I'm not sure what else to say. I'd prefer a stonewash finish on the blade but that's not a complaint (I just don't like fingerprints). Buy one. Heck, buy two. I'll be ordering a second soon.

I bought this knife because of YouTube reviews that extolled its construction, especially the smoothness of action and the quality of the blade. I own many folding knives, priced from ~$40 to $160 and am accustomed to acceptable compromise in the less expensive models. I am delighted that the Firebird FH11 has the action of a much more expensive knife. The blade of D2 steel was sharp out of the box and acquired outstanding sharpness with modest effort (if you like knives, learning to sharpen will greatly increase your pleasure). This is an excellent knife. The maker and the vendor have my thanks.

Great value for the money. Good craftsmanship, great materials especially for the price point, super fast shipping( <24hrs to my door step.)Only small.complaints are the liner lock doesn't have any jumping on it and feels almost recessed into the handle. It should be out just a hair and have a bit of texture so it'd be easy to push over and unlock the knife blade to close it. The blade opens smoothly but isn't particularly fast and doesn't have a pronounced clicking upon opening like many bearing flippers, unless you really try to flick it hard. It's almost a slightly dampened feeling action. But it does open smoothly and is just about drop shut smooth closing, with just a little downward nudge of the handle the blade will drop closed. All in all this knife is well worth $30. And easily competes with knives double and even triple the price. Ganzo really has stepped up there game and leads the pocket knife world for bang for your buck value.

I've only had this knife a short while (hours) and I'm pretty sure this will be my go-to knife when I'm heading out the door. the action is absolutely butter smooth and it opens with ease right out of the box.. No break-in period or adjusting needed. The liner lock engages nicely and there is no blade play whatsoever. It takes no more than the weight of the blade to close. No shaking to get it to close. Blade is perfectly centered as well.The grind on the blade is nice and it's razor sharp out of the box. If I had to say something negative, it would be that it's a tad bit heavy, but that really reaching...It's hard to believe this is a $20 knife. Looks like I'm going to have to get the green and carbon ones now. :)Buy this knife, you will NOT regret it!

I own about 30 different knives—everything from Benchmade and Lion Steel to CRKTs and Gerbers. I have never seen this quality at $25.It came hair-shaving sharp with no noticeable flaws. What IS curious is that when you hold the blade to the light at just the right angle you can see a faint Damascus pattern, which was may be a bad billet of blade steel. However, it’s hard enough to scratch a blade that is supposedly RHC60 and I have done some light prying with the tip of this Ganzo and it hasn’t broken yet.I’m satisfied.Every so often I strop it back to a razor edge and put it back in my pocket.

Overall, a great pocket knife. Blade shape is outstanding. Opens as fast as an auto. To me, the really impressive innovation is the finishing on the liner lock : polished and easy to use. No pressing the lock with great force to release the blade. Easy to close with one 75-year-old hand. No downside to this blade.

It’s a ok knife came dull at first wouldn’t hold a eage with a little work it’s a great knife
