Ganzo Firebird G8012V2-BK - a budget full tang survival knife
TheGANZO G8012V2-BK has a full tang (aka full bolt) construction. This term is used to describe knives whose head and handle shank are made from a single piece of steel. Knives of such construction are characterized by great strength and resistance to damage, which is why they are commonly used by survivalists, bushcraft enthusiasts, soldiers and hunters. The knife has a wide and massive 113mm long blade, made of 8CR13 57-58 HRC stainless steel, which is straightforwardly an ideal choice for an outdoor knife. The steel used is resistant to corrosion and wear, stays sharp for quite a long time and sharpens easily, which is of great importance in the case of a survival knife. The hard steel combined with the 5mm thick full tang blade makes it clear that the knife was made for outdoor work and can be used for chopping and batoning. The back of the knife has a flat cutter with sharp edges, which works perfectly with a flint and makes it easy to flint sparks.
The long cutting edge makes working with this knife a pleasure. The element that distinguishes the knife is its modular design, so that after unscrewing the steel bolt (in the back of the tang) we can slide the blade out of the handle and use it, for example, to make an improvised spear. The blade locking nut also functions as a beater and glass breaker used during rescue operations. The contoured polymer handle has finger cutouts and slanted ribbing to improve the knife's grip. A hole in the handle was used to weave in a paracord cord, which of course can be replaced with another accessory. There are visibility inserts on the handle to help locate a lost knife.
