I have bought from numerous sellers in China. All have shipped promptly. Some have sent me a picture of the package with postage attached & tracking number taken just before it disappears into the postal system.
Most arrive in about 10 days from making payment.

I see that you got one with pocket clip and one without...any idea why the one with the pocket clip costs $1.50 less than the one without? That seems a bit bassackwards, don'tit? I's jus' wonderin' (Ahh, just noticed: they're each from different sellers--good ol' capitalist competition hard at work in China!)

How long was ship time from China to HI? (The only time I ordered a knife that was shipped direct from China, it took nearly a month to arrive.)

~Q~
Not sure why the one with the clip is cheaper, there sold by 2 different sellers. I think these are now discontinued because there is only 2 sellers that have them. When I bought my first one there were a lot of Chinese sellers selling them. Thinking about getting a few more before there gone. I really love this knife and use it a lot at work.

Wow, only 11 days? That's faster than some mainland eBay orders get here. Pretty amazing when you think about it.

I have bought a number of large tank-like tactical folders from sellers in China. All have been decent knives and this is one of the best. BBKule D240, ("Be Cool"?), 5 3/8" liner lock flipper, blade spine 3/16" with a complex grind and shaving sharp edge. Seems to be very solidly built. It's a lot of knife for $20.

I just bought 2 more SRM 7010(aka 710) from a seller in China. Arrived in 8 days ! This is my best of all time tactical style knife.
I also bought 2 SRM 7056 because it looks similar to the 710 and seller said "kick deployment system" which i thought maybe involved a coil spring assisted opening. These also arrived in 8 days (different seller in China) and the "kick deployment" refers to the thumb "flipper" at base of blade. But i'm very pleased i bought it because it is a little heavier duty even than the non flipping 710.
Take a look, these are well built knives. 710 is lower knife, 7056 is upper.
edit: oops, left a piece of tape under pocket clip, last picture.

KJ your knives look very credible meaning they certainly look strong and solid. Pretty impressive.

Thanks QS.
Yes, they are solid, action is smooth and the lock up is rock solid. I still have & use my first SRM 710 which was a gift with a Small Sebenza i bought from another collector in about 2009. So after 7 years it just as smooth and tight as on day one and the edge holding is equally good.
A few months after receiving the Small Sebenza i sold it along with my Large Sebenza. The SRM 710 was doing everything i wanted so well, that it seemed ridiculous to own the Sebenzas that cost 40 times as much.

That is a very attractive knife Gary; shapes, proportions and colors all flow together well.
With the CF it should be light weight which i see as good in an EDC for non bush carry.(i.e. heavier knife o.k. if hiking/camping)
Is the blade grind about the same as other Ganzo's, or is this one thinner just above the edge ?
Previously you showed the Ganzo 719 and then i felt a need to get one, except i got a few so i had extras for gifting. ("gifting", ha ! verbing nouns is phun)
Now i'm feeling a need for a new carbon fiber Ganzo !

KJ - The knife is lighter them my other Ganzo, The liners and frame work are rock solid. I put this on the postage scale and it come in at 4.35oz. Fit and Finish are very good, I've found nothing wrong.

Now for the Blade - I copied from a review.

The blade of the Ganzo G753 is a 440C flat ground drop point, that tapers to a very acute tip. The delicate tip is further emphasized by a long swedge covering three-quarters of the spine. This is a very aggressive shape clearly prioritizing piercing over durability. Ganzo did moderate the thin tip by the use of a flat grind here instead of a hollow one. It balances out the lack at metal in the tip with extra material in the belly.

Thanks Gary, light weight, rock solid, great blade description, all adds up to one thing: I Need One, well, at least 1, maybe more, get 'em while you can. Some excellent production knives disappear after only one run.

Our Daughter teaches English at a University in Zhanjiang China. When she came home to visit last spring she gifted me with this Columbia Jinlang Co. folder.
She has been contributing to my addiction with some beautiful R/Rs over the past few years. I would like a Ganzo but I do not want to mention it to her.
TSA and LAX California does not get along with knives, even for non-carry-on luggage.
She has been lucky. I keep telling her nothing sharper than her elbow in her luggage.
I can imagine the look on the TSA agents face when he/she pushes the little button on a Ganzo G707 Auto. ::paranoid::
