Firebird GANZO FH31 Folding Pocket Knife D2 Steel Wharncliffe Blade Ergonomic G10 Handle with Clip Hunting Fishing Flipper Camping Outdoor EDC Knife

Fantastic knife for the money! It lacks jimping on the spine of the blade but I added it myself. It's a little heavy for its size due to the blade thickness and having solid (non-skeletonized) liners, it's a medium-sized heavy-duty knife. It's an attractive (aesthetically pleasing) knife with great fit and finish, doesn't look cheap at all. The action is smooth and lockup is tight. Ganzo Firebird knives are a great value. They're quality knives that are inexpensive enough to not worry about using, or losing. They would make great inexpensive gifts, why give a crappy gift when you can give a nice knife for around $25?

Overall, very nice for the price. I have several Ganzo and Firebird knives, and I think even though the Firbird brand is made by Ganzo, the Firebirds are just slightly cheaper quality. The first things I noticed with this knife was that the machined-edges on the scales and the back of the blade did not have an edge-break or radius. They were machined to sharp corners. This is not a big deal because I can smooth them out with Scotch-brite myself, but it was noticeable that the components had not been hand-finished very thoroughly. The other thing was that the blade edge was very smooth and reasonably sharp, but it could be sharper. It did not shave my arm-hair and the paper test was just "ok" in my opinion. The action flips open smoothly and the bearings don't wiggle or feel loose. The fitment of all the parts is pretty nice. All in all, quite a nice little knife for the value. I'm very happy with it.

Been a great edc. Easy opening, takes a fine edge, and for the price I would recommend it.

Amazingly solid quality for the price, with ball bearing mechanism, thick D2 steel blade, and jimping along thumb edge of handle. Liked the satin finish as well. Flipper was a sharp on the edges, hard on the finger, but easily fixed by a few swipes with sandpaper. Comparable to a Kershaw costing twice as much, although warranty is only a year versus life time. Time will tell.

I cannot believe the quality of this knife at the price it was. This knife has a perfect weight to it, it’s super sharp and easy to use. I highly recommend this knife!!!

Pros: The knife seems well made. The blade is material is decent and comes pretty sharp. It comes with a deep pocket clip that is ambidextrous. Overall, it looks and feels good with some minor issues. Cons: The knife I received did not have the blue anodized pin as shown in the pictures. I know that is a small detail, but it was something liked about the knife so it's disappointing. The action is pretty stiff, and the blade won't open all the way to a locking position without using some wrist action. If it had a thumb stud to help open it all the way, it wouldn't matter as much but this knife does not have one. The carbon fiber looks great but be aware that it's really smooth and offers zero grip. I haven't decided if I'm going to return it because I'm lazy and I don't hate the knife...

Pretty well balanced blade, love the feel of that handle and blade, the scales feel nice in my grip, not as smooth as people say when flipped and opening but oil can fix that. This blade did come SHARP out of the box, was able to cut thin strips of card stock no problem.. the only thing I do t like is the clip doesn't go all the way into my knife pocket, maybe because I’m a wrangler man or because this is a larger carry blade.. still it’s not seem less. I’m sometime afraid it’ll fallout but thus far It hasn’t. This is D2 steel and it’s more than enough for your normal EDC needs, like I tell everyone if you need anything stronger and more dependable just get a fixed blade made from better mat’s! I got the Olive green edition and it kicks butt! Highly recommended especially since the price is GREAT!

Came shaving sharp ( I have the bald strip on my arm to prove it) and held the edge through some moderate cutting and slicing. Smooth opening and I appreciate the pressure to close. I've never handled a 200+ dollar knife, but this is the nicest feeling and cutting knife I own. Others said it had rough unfinished edges but mine is comfortable in the hand, but it is on the smaller side and does not fill the hand. Overall this is my new edc. Enough said.
