So if someone were to ask you, "Hey are you looking for a new knife?" You might reply, "
Does Chuck Norris have a Death Wish?" And I'd be like " Uhh, that's Charles Bronson."
So the answer is no then? Then you're like- "The answer is, YES DUDE, I am looking for.
a new knife, I got my 70's and 80's action movies screwed up. So I'm about to get
Delta Force if you don't stop talking to yourself." Oh ok, cool. Check out Ganzo's
new folder the G724M, which has a price right out of the 1970's. The 724M is
a locking, folding, pocket knife with a blade made
of the extremely budget-conscious 440C stainless steel. It's a drop point
blade with and HRC of plus or minus 58. The 724M uses an axis- I'm sorry a lock
created in the STYLE of an axis lock. Or maybe its on loan or it's an homage.
Or maybe it's a huge coincidence- but functionally it
keeps the blade nice and in place. Since it is a pocket knife
you won't be surprised to learn it has a stainless steel clip that only allows
for tip carry. Or maybe you are surprised because you haven't been paying
attention and you were searching for a video about the Muppets. So only a tip-up carry
but least you can swap the clip orientation to either the right or left side.
I'd like to say that I wish it had all four choices but I don't really use them. Tip up,
tip down, right, or left- like with my Endura 4, but since I've never changed that I
would probably be a liar if I said it was something I was looking for. But for
speed's sakes, I prefer tip up in my right pocket. Because I'm right handed and it
makes it easier to open whenever you pull it out of your pocket. The G724M allows
it. The handle is made out of FRN and it is slightly textured with some cross-hatching.
It's not the grippiest of surfaces. It's on par with my Endura 4, maybe just a little
less grippy- because the texturing isn't quite as nice. So what about
the dimensions and weight? Using my cheap ebay measuring devices as a
guide- here you go. In inches and millimeters.
My measurements tend to be just a little generous.
Accuracy of measuring devices may vary because my shits not professionally
calibrated. Alright cool, now it's time to discuss my feelings- oh no
it's not that kind of video. Sorry feelings about a knife which is the only sort of
feelings of person should discuss, right? Or just keep it to themselves, whatever.
I'm not your life coach. The handle to blade ratio is nice- I can make a fist around the
handle nicely for cutting or chopping or conducting a really metal symphony. I
find it perfect. Ok so how about the blade, how freaking sharp is it?
Pretty sharp right out of the tiny box! With just a tad of effort you can remove
hair from your arm. Not whisker shaving sharp though. Paper, cardboard,
vegetables- no problem. Or eating dinner if you're that kind of person. One side is
laser engraved with the Ganzo logo and the other side is a tiny denotation of
the model number and blades steel. I camp and I hike a lot and I have no
problem using this for the biggest task I normally use a knife for during the day-
cutting my apple. The blade isn't quite big enough to go all the way through but
big enough to work well. Here it is
compared to my Endura 4 for a frame of reference. So what about blade play?
Well there's none on my sample. It has a stainless steel liner and looks well
centered inside when closed. So there's no metal on metal action which may
come to the disappointment of some of my robot audience. The thumb studs are
plenty wide enough presumably because it was designed by a human who uses a
knife occasionally. There's a little resistance at first and a bit more force with
the follow through- and then you're there. It's actually less awkward to open than my
Endura. Its not as buttery which I hope is an acceptable term to describe a knife but
it's still easier. Anything else to note? Well you got a paracord hole in the back
and that bump for breaking glass which I won't actually try because there are much
better suited things to break glass with than a tiny bump on the back of a knife.
The Ganzo G724M comes in 3 colors at the time of this review. The black was
reviewed here, but there's also green and orange. It's a very very decent knife for
under 15 bucks. I may even call it an awesome knife for under $15. it has a fit and
finish on par with Endura 4. Its cheap because it doesn't have fancy
blade material, not because it's a bad knife. Oh wait, let me put it this way. It's
like Death Wish one and not Death Wish 5 So thanks for watching, subscribe if you
