I think it's hardly a secret, anymore. This knife is a value king.The lockup is good - lockup is 100% of the liner (which is relatively thin). No lock stick.The ergonomics are average - Some edges are slightly sharp, but nothing terrible. The texture on the flipper tab is a touch aggressive but effective.The price? Amazing.For the $25, this knife has few equals. I think the next step up is the Ontario Rat for around $35-$40.The hardware is actually hard.The blade steel is also hard and takes a great edge.The action is slightly rough at first, but breaks in great although it never fully looses the slightest amount of grit right before closing.Detent tension is spot on.Blade stock is slightly thinner than I was expecting but still fine for the price.My only real gripe is that you have to snug up the pivot quite a bit to completely get rid of blade play - the action is still smooth and still flips 100% of the time)If someone is looking for a GOOD pocket knife for the least amount of money, this is now my go to suggestion.

There is not a knife company out there that offers more value for the price than Ganzo. The FH11S is no exception. Maybe the perfect size for every day carry, the D2 blade is almost exactly 3". It came razor sharp (as Ganzos usually do), and half a millimeter off-center (as they often do). The sculpted G10 handle is of high quality, and the fit and finish are perfect - I can't find a flaw. The liners are inset and the non-lock side liner is weight-relieved; there is a post for attaching a lanyard. The edges of the handle - of the overall knife, really - are a bit edgier (I hate to say sharper), just not as rounded as on other Ganzo models. This makes it a bit less comfortable in the hand but certainly not objectionable - it really has to do with the design of the knife.The detent is quite stiff, a bit more than I'd like; it takes a fair bit of pressure to open, but the action is good and the blade flies out. The lock bar is a bit difficult to access and it has a sharper edge than I like. The jimping on the blade spine and flipper are aggressive and the flipper had small burrs on it. It's a tip-up carry and the pocket clip can be right or left.In summary this is an excellent knife for the price. Put Benchmade/Spyderco on the blade and change it to s30v steel and the price would be 5-6 TIMES as much. If you are looking for a classy EDC knife for a very reasonable price, with great action and build quality you won't go wrong with the FH11S. Perfect for your pocket or pack.

I love this knife. It is exactly what I was looking for. After carrying around a knock-off Spyderco Mamba for a few years, which I LOVED but it was massive and extremely heavy, I wanted something that would get the job done while being extremely lightweight--the opposite end of the spectrum. This knife fits the bill. My last knife had my shorts constantly falling down; this one is gravitationally invisible.Here's what I love about it:1. The price. This was the only carbon fiber, decent steel folding knife I could find for sub $50. And it was half that price!! It's VERY cheap, yet it's a great knife. I hope that price lasts forever.2. The weight. Made primarily of carbon fiber, it weighs slightly under 3 ounces, and it is very lightweight. The only time I notice it's there is when I touch it or press against it. This is a knife you can easily carry in basketball shorts that tend to fall down.3. The materials and quality. It's carbon fiber and D2 steel. I'm not a steel expert, but from what I understand, D2 steel is the upper end of cheap pocket knife steels. Nowhere near the top tiers of steel, but well above cheap 440 and similar things. It came VERY sharp, and has held an edge very well.It's a small knife, for sure. If you want a big Mamba, get something else. But I'm a 6'4", 240lb male, and while it feels small in my hand, it's good enough to get the job done. It's sturdy, lightweight, sharp, and well made. I'll love having this knife for years to come.

Hands down the best knife for the money
