G806-GB

I've got to say I was skeptical when I ordered this knife. I have a few Mora's and the palm swell on them make me feel like I don't have a good grip on them. This knife fit may hand perfectly, it is really comfortable with good texturing to keep you from slipping in wet weather. It locks in securely to the belt sheath, which is very similar to the Mora sheaths. The blade came very sharp and had even grinds for the length of the blade. Overall this would make a great fishing, utility or light bushcraft knife if you don't want to spend a ton of money or want to protect your more expensive blades. The only thing I wish it had was more thickness to the blade, maybe 3mm instead of the 2.5mm.

Pretty decent knife overall, feels solid and comfortable. Arrived sharp with symmetrical grind lines with one side perfect the other side extending a hair into the choil. Same length and size as the Mora Companion with slightly different ergonomic grip. Blade steel is ok for the price I feel a little softer than 12c27 but sharpens easily. The saber grind is good for processing game or fruit and veggies. I wish it had a 90° spine for ferro rods but it didn't take much to fix that. It's a good value knife that would be great to keep in the truck, backpack or tackle box.

The knife seems to be very well constructed. The grinds appear to be even on all of the blade. The blade has an attractive tumbled finish on it. The handle is quite comfortable and very grippy. And the handle has a very good length for my hand. There is one complaint that I do have though. When I pulled the knife out of the box, I immediately noticed that some sort of perfume had been sprayed into the packaging. While that is a nice gesture, it is very difficult to get the smell out of the rubber of the handle and to be successfully used outdoors, there should be no perfume odor on the knife. Many bees are attracted to the sweet smell of perfumes!

It is very lightweight. The design is pretty good as well. I have much more expensive knives but this one gets tossed in the "car bag" for emergencies. I would prefer a 1095 carbon steel but I don't mind this stainless one at all. The sheath is simple and retains the knife well. Would make a good first belt for a Scout or outdoorsy youngster in that if it is lost it isn't a huge loss of cash. I haven't had it long so that is why I put durability at a 3 star level.

First, I paid for this knife with my own money and got what was shipped. I have absolutely no connection to this company or to Amazon - No one but myself has seen this review until I posted. Please be assured my thoughts and impressions are just that; my own and unbiased. Call me surprised by the quality of this knife, and yes it is made in China with Chinese steel. Packaging was well done with the knife having a thin protective coat of oil and was wrapped in plastic with an anti-moisture packet. Fit and finish are very good, the grind of the edge even and well executed, the blade is properly and very securely fixed to the handle being straight and not canted, the grip and handle feel great and instill confidence even in my 2XL sized hands, the tip is straight, thin and pointy. Photos online show the good sized tang being about 3/4 of the handle length, and very well fixed. Any fears I had of "Just another cheap junky knife" have been absolutely obliterated. You get an overall feeling of sturdy quality, like it can do the job yet is very light and handles well. The sheath is very rigid and sturdy for what it is, the belt clip works very well and knife retention is simply excellent with a very positive, satisfying click. My sheath has a thumb ramp for easy knife removal and there is a drainage hole which can be utilized as a a fire starter blow tube. Again, everything so far is a definite thumbs up and I am impressed. Sharpness was pretty good upon arrival but using some Autosol metal polish on a strop brought out great shaving sharpness and a beautiful polished edge. I have not done any 'torture testing' and don't plan to; it's an everyday carry knife for me doing everyday kind of knife uses and so far has done very well at this task. I see many folks comparing this knife to many Morakniv knives and this really is not fair or even applicable - The grind is saber, the tip is very fine for fine cutting and I consider it a complementary knife to my Morakniv knives. Take both for camping for different tasks is how I see them. Both are excellent and will serve you very well for a very reasonable cost. I have added photos of my Morakniv knives to give perspective. The top green handled knife is a 511 model with a 2mm thick carbon steel blade and the bottom knife with the gray and black handle is a "Robust" model with a 3.2 mm wide carbon steel blade The Bacho knife is nothing but a rebadged discontinued Morakniv "Clipper" model, the forerunner to the companion series, same excellent Swedish Sandvik 12c27 stainless steel where the Bacho blade is 2mm vs 2.5 for the companion, and has a different texture on the grippy handle with a similar pattern and feel to the Ganzo 806. The Ganzo 806 blade is 2.3 mm and is a good slicer, especially with its grind. Any negatives? I do wish there was an OD green option over the forest green model, and I would like it to have a black sheath. Price could be a few dollars less to make it a super screaming deal, but still it is a very nice knife for the cost. So if you want a very good knife made well and of good enough steel that you can use everyday for everyday things here you go. I think it is a handsome knife that brings pride of ownership and if named something else probably could be sold for a lot more. If this review warrants an update I will. Thank you for reading and perhaps considering what I wrote in my review.

This is the second Ganzo model I've bought, having bought three of the Firebird Ganzo F7759M pocket folding knives. The Ganzo G806-GB fixed blade knife arrived today. It is shaving sharp, perfectly even edge grinds ( not found on a lot of higher priced knives, comfortable handle, good working-size blade and sturdy sheath that holds the knife snugly and securely without any movement or rattle! A very impressive working knife at an unbelievably low price!

The thickness and length of the blade make this knife great knife for dispatching and bleeding all sizes of fish. I find that humanely harvesting makes for a better quality of fillet and this knife does the job perfectly. When the boat is rocking and the fish have teeth a short stiff knife keeps me safer than when I’ve used longer blades. The hard sheath makes it easy to keep on hand and out of the way. I don’t know how it will stand up to salt water, but I hope to prolong the life of the blade with a fresh water rinse at the end of the fishing day.

It’s difficult to beat the utility for the price. It’s got a sharp, useful and functional blade, with a comfortable handle. This is great knife to leave in the truck, or in your toolbox. At that price, it’s not painful to purchase and then just leave it as part of your kit.

Perfecto para el trabajo en la naturaleza. Facil de llevar, sacar, enfundar y afilar. Muy buen agarre y nada ostentoso un todo terreno actualizado.

È il secondo ganzo che acquisto e ho ricevuto la conferma che è un marchio molto serio... ottimo coltello con ottima affilatura e prezzo giusto... certamente comprerò ancora da loro.5 stelle piene!

Halt mora immer gut

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo!

Tenía interés por éste cuchillo desde hacía tiempo, sinceramente no se puede comparar con otros de éste tipo cómo Moravnik o Hultafors,pero funciona bastante bien y tiene la ventaja de tener un vaciado plano,lo compré por 19€ aunque sinceramente creo que su precio debería ser 15€, aún así si no le das mucha traya corta muy bien y cumple perfectamente para trabajo ligero
