Firebird FH61-CF folding knife

Description of the Firebird (by Ganzo) FH61-CF knife:

The Firebird brand was founded in 2015, and over the past few years it has managed to win over knife lovers. The Chinese company Ganzo created it to the delight of numerous fans of functional and stylish EDC models. The FH series combines high-quality, yet affordable knives for everyday wear. The knives are impeccable, as many users of the models claim. And recently Ganzo introduced a new product - Firebird FH61. Four handle options - in black, green, gray, as well as the usual "carbon". The manufacturer describes its new product as a small, light, but durable knife. Distinctive features - a Clip-Point blade and a convenient handle design. Now let's talk in more detail.

The model is 17.1 centimeters long, the blade length is 7 centimeters, and the thickness is 3.5 millimeters. The weight is 100 grams. It is made using D2 tool steel, the hardness of which corresponds to 58-60 Rockwell units. A hardness of about 60 units is considered quite good, in practice there are no models with an indicator of more than 65. This is due to the fact that very hard metal becomes more brittle, and for knives such quality is completely undesirable. D2 steel is characterized as an expensive, but at the same time, high-quality material. It has all the necessary properties, and the constituent elements are in optimal proportions. The alloy has a high level of carbon and chromium in its composition, is resistant to corrosion, as well as various kinds of loads and mechanical influences.

In the basic versions of the flipper (black, green, gray), the handle is made using steel liners, a polymer spacer and textured G10 overlays. The FH61-CF version uses smooth carbon polymer overlays. The overlays are fixed with steel Torx bolts. G10 is a composite material based on fiberglass and epoxy resin. It is impact resistant, durable, and moisture resistant. It lends itself well to painting and the necessary finishing. The 10-centimeter handle design includes a lanyard hole and a fully removable clip.

The model has steel ball bearings. They are reliable and durable. A similar design is often found in EDC knives of the middle and premium price categories. It is important to ensure that the bearings are not clogged with dust and dirt during operation in field conditions. If you will use your assistant in them. A high-quality bearing provides high speed and effective operation of the axial mechanism.

The blade is obtained both with a small thumb hole at the base and with a flipper with anti-slip cuts. The blade is fixed due to the presence of a steel Liner-Lock.

Who is the novelty created for? For tourists, extreme sportsmen, military, ordinary people. Helps at home in everyday life. In a word, this product can be considered universal. An effective tool, if necessary, capable of serving as an equally effective weapon.
