GANZO Firebird FH41 Pocket Folding Knife D2 Steel Blade G10 Handle Hunting Outdoor EDC Tool (Grey)

I recently bought this knife after purchasing the Firebird F11 in green G10. I actually ended up buying two of the F11’s because I loved the 1st one so much. I was extremely impressed by the overall quality and craftsmanship of the knife. The first one I bought was razor sharp right out of the box. The second f11 wasn’t quite as impressive as far as the edge goes but I used my Lansky 5 stone sharpener and got it to hair shaving sharp like the first one within 10 minutes. I do think this (edge sharpness) should be consistent and maybe I got a lemon or maybe they need to improve here I don’t know.. and honestly it really didn’t change my view on these knives too much. In fact they had a good enough impression on me with those that I purchased this knife, the FH41. It is probably the sharpest knife I’ve ever owned out the box. I have knives ranging from $20 to $200 and this thing was by far the sharpest blade I’ve ever bought. The fit and finish is great and lock up is nice. The blade is perfectly centered and has a crazy smooth deployment. Very nice jimping on the spine for your thumb as well as on the flipper. Aggressive but so aggressive that it hurts. A huge aspect of these knives that really sells it to me personally is the pocket clip. I can tell you how many knives I’ve had to throw into the “retired knife box” because of bent or snapped off pocket clips. Most of which are from two very well known company’s (not gonna say their names but one may start with a K and one with a G. It seems the pocket clip always fails first. This knife has the sturdiest pocket clip I’ve seen on any knife under $100. I can’t believe these knives are selling for under $30. I’m not a knife or steel expert but D2 steel at this price-point along with the construction and finish of these knives is amazing to me. I purchased these knives with my own money and in no way have any affiliation with Ganzo or Firebird or Amazon. I would suggest these knives to anyone looking for a great knife out of box that’s affordable to the average consumer. My only gripe would be the sharpness inconsistency I had with my other firebird knife, hopefully that was just a fluke. Either way it was easy to sharpen so really a non issue for me. If you are on the fence about this knife don’t be, just buy it. They won’t be at this price for long.

This is my new favorite knife. Knives with assisted opening are prohibited in many areas but this knife is so well designed and made it doesn't need any sort of assist beyond a light touch of your finger to pop fully open and lock. No fancy wrist action is required. The blade is also made of much better steel than most anything in this price class. It's razor sharp out of the box and has stayed that way after extensive use and abuse. This is the knife Aron Ralston of 127 Hours fame wishes he had when stuck in that Utah slot canyon. The fit, finish, edge, steel, and construction are the equal of anything from Benchmade and other brands that charge 4 or more times as much. My only negative is, despite the lightened liner, it's a bit heavier than some of my other favorite knives but it's worth the extra ounce or so for the instant reliable deployment, durable blade, and bulletproof design. These knives are under rated likely because they don't send free product to all the popular reviewers.

Stunned at Ganzo’s consistent quality. I have bought 5 knives in total from them and all of them have been exceptional for the price. This is my first D2 blade, it came sharp enough to shave and the blade has a nice finish on it. Handle material is great, liners being inside the scales provides a sleek look along with less weight. It is the perfect size for EDC, slim handle with a good cutting edge ratio. The tip-up clip goes deep into the pocket. After about 100 opens with it (typical break in period) the detent and action are perfect. It comes with a very smooth action right out of the box with no modifications. But the detent loosens up nicely soon. The liner lock has a good lockup and doesn’t get stuck open or hard to close with use. Overall everything is PERFECT with this knife (especially the size+price) and I highly recommend it for EDC. My all time favorite EDC is between this one and the f753m1.

The GANZO Firebird FH41 is a solid folding knife that impressed me right out of the box. It feels well-constructed, with a smooth action and a comfortable grip. The blade holds a sharp edge quite well, even after regular use. For the price I paid, it’s definitely a great value. I gave it 4 stars only because there’s always room for a little refinement, but overall, I’m very satisfied. I’d absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable everyday carry knife without breaking the bank.

This is a good quality pocket knife for a very reasonable price. A few impressive details: the materials are nice... good looking, tight g-10 scales that are contoured, not flat. Fit and finish are wonderful at this price...eased edges on the spine of the blade and the liner lock. The stainless liners are full, but milled(or drilled, whatever) for weight reduction. The pivot screws have the t8 on both sides...handy. Gimping on the blade spine and the flipper tab- not sharp. Deep carry clip is reversible, with a filler on the unused side. I'm impressed. Oh, yeah, nice and tight action/lockup.

Check my profile, I'm a real guy. I paid for this with my own money and have no affiliation with Ganzo or Ace knife. I have been collecting knifes for quite a while and am familiar with high end and budget knifes. I know my stuff. Right out of the box this knife is amazing. Perfect deployment, very sharp, perfect blade centering, d2 steel , weight is 3.7 oz, zero blade play when open, right / left carry and ball bearings. What an amazing value. Quality control on these knifes is spot on. Less than $30 shipped to my door the next day? Are you kidding? These knives really illustrate how over priced some main stream knives are. anyway, like all the other reviewers on this page say... "just buy one already"

I bought four of these as gifts for my brothers and nephews. Three of the four were thrilled with this knife. My older brother is more of a luddite when it comes to knives and only likes thumb deployed lockback type knives, but I keep giving him liner lock and frame lock flippers in the hopes that he will someday convert to being a flipper guy like the rest of us LOL. The quality on these knives is excellent and the action is buttery smooth. The design looks smooth and simple, which is nice to see. The liners are skeletonized and inset inside the G10 scales (a very nice touch typically seen on more expensive knives). The blade geometry is nearly a full flat grind, which lends itself to slicing nicely. The blade still manages to be nice and pointy for finer work also. It's a great, buttery smooth, and versatile knife that is utterly worthy of being owned.

Awesome value for the money. Well made, well designed, and good looking. The blade is well centered, it locks up tight, opens & shuts smoothly, and cuts well (cardboard, food, aluminum cans so far). $25 for a D2 knife of this quality is a deal. I much prefer D2 to 440C for a knife I’m going to use daily. The clip is a deep-carry design and it CAN be switched for right or left hand carry, though not for tip-down. The quality of the clip is not great, though, and while it doesn’t negatively impact utility, the handle is so beautifully ergonomic that the clip kind of ruins it. I will probably remove the clip and use a sheath.
