The Ganzo G-7471-BK arrived from the Far East today.

Another winner from Ganzo! This blade is heavier than on my G-719-BK but the blade swings out with consummate alacrity and positively locks in position. I oiled the pivot and plunge-lock mechanism and it slightly improved the blade's opening speed. (I'm positive that they use the same springs for the lighter blade Ganzo autos as the heavier ones). This is what causes the blade to open at a slightly slower rate than my G-719-BK.

I can't think of a single negative attribute for this knife. This blade is stout, thick and after about four minutes on my Spyderco Tri-Angle "Sharpmaker" the 440C steel blade became "shaving sharp". For the price, these knives can't be beaten with a stick.

I can't recommend them enough.

That's the G-719-BK. My new knife is the G-7471-BK. (It is a different knife altogether).

In that case stock images REALLY don't count!

That's the blade. I may be prejudiced, but I think that it's a beauty (and functional to boot)!

That's what makes this knife such a winner.

Any time a knife review uses the word alacrity it gets my attention.
