Review Ganzo - Firebird FH11-GB

Review Ganzo - Firebird FH11-GB

Introduction

At this moment, I have no doubt that one of the most desired knives in the world of quality Chinese knives at a good price is this model from the Ganzo - Firebird brand.

And why is this? Because it is the first knife of the brand with steel D2. Maybe the future has others with that steel, but this will always be the first. Let's see if there are more surprises...

Exterior design and appearance

Removing that it is the first time that Ganzo - Firebird uses steel D2 in its knives, this piece draws attention for several other things:

It has a style of those that like, personally you already know that I like the kwaiken style, which are traditional Japanese style knives used for self-defense in closed spaces and other types of ceremonies. It is usually a sober style, straight lines and few concessions to aesthetics, very functional without much adornment (remember the models of Y-Start LK5010 and LK5011 that you can see in my blog).

Review Sanrenmu 9015

Review Sanrenmu 9015

Introduction

At last the day that many dreamed has arrived. After so many years making knives that everyone loved but were of medium or small size, they decided to make the leap to bigger knives and compete directly with what we already know as Ganzo, Harnds, Y-Start and so many others

Everyone knows that Sanrenmu is a special brand and after so many years waiting it finally happened. Let's analyze one of its models, the 9015...

Exterior design and appearance

The appearance is that of a folder knife all in steel, I have said sometimes that this type of knives attracts me and that's why I have some like that, one of the last was the Land 9104, which is manufactured by Sanrenmu although the brand is different, but the comparison with it will be left for another time.
