Ganzo G8012 Fixed Blade Survival Knife Review

The Good:
– The execution. The knife is genuinely well made. The handle and the sheath are rubberized (for your pleasure) and the fit is excellent. No rattle or unnecessary movement from any part.
– The ergos. The knife fills the hand great and is very comfortable and pleasant to hold and use.
– The attention to details. Starting from the uncoated area on the top of the blade to use the ferro rod, to the checkering on the back of the “stryker” at the tang, no corner cutting on this one.
– Although the blade shape could remind some of Moletta designs – the overall design is original and couldn’t be called a direct clone of any other knife (if you do know of a knife that is 100% similar to this one – please write in the comments).
– The steel performed well and stayed reasonably sharp after the tests.

The Great:
– The added features. With this knife you get a cord cutter, a ferro rod, a striker/hammer and even a coarse sharpener built in, so it could cover most of your survival needs. Great features for the price.
– This knife really gives you enough confidence to actually use and to rely on it for camping, hiking and even survival situations. My experience tells me it won’t fall apart or fail during those.
– The price. The fact that you get a knife with original design, this well made and has all those features for this amount of money is not less than amazing.
