Ganzo G712 - the budget version of the Benchmade Bedlam

Pros:

- strong, sturdy folder with an excellent fit and finish

- unique, up-swept persian style blade (ideal for self defense)

- 0.141" (3.6 mm) thick blade 

- grippy, curved G-10 handle

- it comes with a pouch

Cons:

- too big pocket clip

- no lanyard hole

As opposed to the Benchmade Bedlam the G712 comes without the steel backspacer (skull crusher) at the bottom of the handle which would contain the lanyard hole too.
