Ganzo FH21

Chinese firebird

Inexpensive camping flipper Ganzo FH21 series of knives Firebird (Firebird) is a good choice for use on a country trip. Decent unfolded dimensions of 197 mm, a blade thickness of 3.5 mm with a blade length of 86 mm affected the weight of this Chinese "everyday" knife, which is 97 g. However, a tourist knife weighing up to 100 g is considered light. On the one hand, the model cannot be called miniature, and on the other hand, the full dimensions of the knife add convenience to working with it. The manufacturer chose high-carbon steel D2 for the blade, which has a high hardness of 60 HRC. This steel, alloyed with nickel and chromium, although nominally considered stainless steel, has a slight tendency to rust. Therefore, in order for the knife to last a long time, it is recommended to keep it dry and clean.

High blade hardness

The well-balanced blade of the classic drop-point shape has characteristic bevels and serrations at the very base on the butt. The blade of the knife with a satin finish and smooth sharpening is easily removed with one hand by pushing the tail protrusion, which is popularly called a fin or flipper. The blade is locked in the open position with a simple and unpretentious Liner Lock. The nicely designed G10 fibreglass handle has decorative grooves radiating from the axial screw that also improve grip. In the lower part of the handle there is a sub-finger notch, a clip for carrying is attached to the plane, and in the tail part there are 2 longitudinal grooves for attaching a lanyard. Customers can choose from 3 handle colours — black, grey and olive green.
