Ganzo G704-Y Tan G-10

[kwakster]

A Chinese Ganzo 704 like i received it from Hong Kong:





A very nice knife for the money (i paid about 17 US dollars including shipping from Hong Kong to the Netherlands), but with quite an obtuse edge angle of about 35-40 (ish) degrees inclusive and also a bit blunt not a very good cutter.
On the blade it says 440C stainless steel, but it's more than likely it's Chinese cousin 9Cr13MoV.

Reprofiled with a standard Paper Wheel with silicon carbide grit to 30 degrees inclusive and refined just a bit with another Paper Wheel coated with 15 micron diamond compound.
It cuts hair above the back of my hand and can slice single layer toilet paper.

Great work as always Robert..

This Russian dude really hammers on one of these Ganzo 704 models, and although i don't understand a word he says, in the end i get the impression he's quite happy with how his cheap Chinese knife performs.
The video is a bit long, so just zapp to the action scenes.



(edit: just found the video has English subtitles)

I just saw this thread now.  I saw the tan G704 on Amazon the other day.  I already have a black one, and I really like it.  It's probably my favorite out of my Ganzo/Enlan/SRM collection, which has a fair number of other knives in it.......

You may if you want to, but with a set of Paper Wheels and a little practice you can do the same.
It's really not that difficult.

I'm still a long way from being able to get that edge. I will practice. If it does not yield results that are favorable, then off to the mail with them sharps
