Hell, I feel like I came off a jerk. Apologies, the ganzo ordeal isn't well known to non knife guys.

I will work on my tact.

I think everyone here did a good job of trying to educate a new comer without being too harsh. I didn't see anything you said that would come off as offensive. Honestly though, the way the op is worded just makes me feel like it was some troll bait.

Good purchase mate. Ganzo are great value for money.
All those that I have have got f&f, decent steel, take a sharp edge, lock up nicely and overall are really cool.

Congratulations on a nice workhorse of a knife.

Don't mind people ripping on the company... most models are indeed inspired by competitor knives, but they do not brand them as such, use different locking, different sizes, different handle materials and different steels from the original (often better than the original - I'm looking at you Rat2) and cost 10 times less than the others...

If you need a decent working knife, enjoy your new toy.

Queue epeen comments - I really never understood why people are always so concerned on other people's purchases...

If Spyderco and Benchmade don't care about Ganzo, why would some guy on a forum care?

And for the record, I wouldn't get a Spyderco-inspired Ganzo, because I respect that company too much... I only get them when I want to try new patterns at decent sizes (looking at you Bedlam) and decent prices...
If I ever saw a Benchmade that made me feel like paying 100 USD for its extra cutting power or ergonomics or anything, I'd get one instead of Ganzo too....

There is so much wrong here. Ganzo does brand their lock as an Axis lock. It is no different than what benchmade makes (other than inferior materials). That makes it a counterfeit.

And Spyderco and Benchmade do care about these counterfeits. Maybe take the time to look into such a thing before you says something that is not at all correct.

And we care here because this sort of crap hurts this hobby and this community. That is the opinion of this forum. It is in the rules. I didn't just make it up.

So you are not okay with buying a knock off spyderco but you are okay with a knock of BM? :rolleyes:

There are a number of reasons why they can sell them for that much cheaper....mainly because they didn't have to pay for the research, development, and testing of the designs.

Except in this clone case where the lock and size are identical. You are correct, however, about different materials. They are different and inferior.

I get it. Only buy Ganzo copies of knife companies you personally disrespect. That certainly validates your support of this knife! Thanks for sharing!
 
Im not allowed to bring a gun on to the property I work at. Ive been carrying a Syperco military but thought that might be a little too much. So I saw the ganzo on amazon. I just thought it looked cool and dont really care if a $20 knife gets scratched up plus it looks less intimidating.

Makes sense, I understand completely. What you spend your money on and what you carry is entirely your business. The vast majority of us have problems with that particular knife, but if it works for you, go for it!

If you agree with some of our negative comments about that knife, then we'd be happy to suggest alternatives. The Ontario RAT Model 1 is a great choice as is the Ontario Utilitac II, but if those don't float your boat there are lots of competitive options.

Love that Millie, they're a great knife but a little too big for what I like to carry. Are you looking for something about the same size but to use as a beater?
 
Ganzo's design team is one of the best in the industry.

Ive heard that. I dont really notice it, its perfectly comfortable its just a little intimidating because of the size.
 
What is benchmade's official response to ganzo. I have read spyderco response just can't seem to find what benchmade has to say

It doesn't have a four position clip option so it's obviously not a copy. :rolleyes:

The stolen lock mechanism got in the way of them making a perfectly stolen knife. Dang, foiled by the Axis Lock again. Curse you, Axis Lock!
