I agree - they are the best value in autos! What I really want is an auto the size & form of the F753M1 (which is smaller than the F7582), and I want it to have carbon fiber handles. I would be all over that like white on rice!

You are correct Will! Those knives are a total copy of the Protech blade shape.

Jerry, the black one's # is G747-2-WD2 and the army green one is # G747-1-GR ::tu::

Most here probably know this, but for any lurkers unfamiliar with the Ganzo numbering scheme, the last number (ie F758-2-BK) is the finish on the steel. 1 = Polished, 2 = Satin (Stonewashed), 3 = Black. So, for example, the difference between an F761-1 (also sometimes written F7611) and an F7612 is just Polished vs Satin blade finish.

It's another reason I use FastTech. They not only have some of the best prices, it usually only takes 2-3 weeks to arrive.

I agree with you Jerry. Fasttech (so far) has been the best and most reliable of the overseas knife suppliers. I did finally get my refund from AliExpress, but that was a lot more work than it was worth. It is amazing that items can be shipped, with a tracking number, and then just disappear into the black hole where all lost socks and screw drivers go.

The other place where you can buy Ganzo knives is http://www.powercutlery.com/ They are a USA supplier. Price is a bit higher, and they do not always have all the models in stock, but is is a whole lot faster and more reliable than shipping from China. You can also buy some Ganzo knives (but not autos) from Amazon.

The great thing about the Ganzo knives is, they are a quality knife (in spite of origin) but still priced so anyone can play.

I have put a 707 in my cart multiple times in the last 6 months, but I have always resisted and bailed at the last second. However, before you go thinking I have an iron will, I must add that in every case, it was because I saw something shiny somewhere else and spent even more money buying that instead.

This is me on most days:

Love that picture. The joke that goes along with it, is:

"Some people say I have an attention deficit disorder, but I don'......... SQUIRREL!"

Giggled like a school girl the first time I heard that. And the second time. And the fourth. And the................... It still makes me smile.

Let us know how you like it when you get it. Probably not the user as the others but I really like it. Whole lot less money than a Don!

I'll get my new Ganzo G707 in about 2 1/2-3 weeks from now. It will be my third one and I'll probably enjoy it a great deal. ::tu::

I see I've neglected to post my Ganzo Automatics. Let me rectify that right now. Bought a 707 for me, then a 707 for my grandson. He loves it.

I discovered this morning that one of our little neighborhood hardware stores down the street a few blocks is a Benchmade dealer so I stopped to see if they happened to have a Benchmade Proper 319-1. Turns out they only have four Benchmades in stock and two of them are Mini-Grips. So I get to jackin' my jaws with the guy behind the counter about knives and he whips out a plastic handled cheap POS Chinese automatic (maybe Pakistani. No marks on it.) and I ask him if he's ever heard of Ganzo and he says "no". His next day at work is Saturday afternoon so I'm going to take my Ganzo Auto's down for him to experience. He's bound to fall head over heels for them.
