Yesterday I recieved my Ganzaa HG55. First thoughts were wow, thats a heavy knife for such a thin knife. Second thoughts were, wow this feels really good in my hand. I compared it to my ASH-LE and the HG55 felt heavier in my hand than the ASH did, I didnt break out the scale but I need to because everyone who held the two agreed with me.

I really like the thumb grooves on this knife, they look cool and they feel good to me. Not overly agressive at all but still enough grip for my tastes.

The knife for its weight feels livley in my hands and fairly well balanced as well. I really like the desert camo pattern, at first I didnt...then I really liked it as I played with it.

Mine came shaving sharp along with the Swine Shaving Sheet. I havent been able to go out and do any cutting with it yet but it will be interesting to see how it penetrates a phonebook.

Wow, it looks gorgeous. :thumbup:
I am sitting here a drooling on my keyboard.
I think this knife going to be a success for sure. :)

Congrats on a good score. :D
 
I hope they start releasing the LE's soon! All these pic's are making this knife look a cool choice!
 
very nice indeed!:thumbup:

looking forward to a more detailed reveiw...:D

hope mine ships soon also.:)
 
Nice review! Is the HG55 a full 1/4"? It doesn't look hardly any thicker than the ASH-LE?
 
I'm still pretty new here and don't have one of these (working on a trade for one though) but in my limited experience the satin blade always appear thicker than a comparable coated blade. Great Pics!
