They don’t even like knives that can be one hand opened here - thumb studs, spyder holes etc, all are frowned upon. 
:~ don’t even get started on locks, sheath knives, machetes, kukri’s.
In my other hobby (off roading, green laning, wheeling, call it what you will) the advice is to carry a bill hook rather than any kind of knife as its a gardening tool…. It’s also an f off stick with a blade on the end, but who am I to argue….
I’m sure you will enjoy it. That seems to be one of the budget knives that most everyone likes.
I think the convexing method is just using various grades of wet/dry sandpaper with either leather or a mousepad (something flexible). I’m trying to keep the V-grind on mind.
What do you people in Britain get up to that your government can’t trust you with a pocket knife? Are people in the UK that crazy that if they are allowed to carry a weapon, they will hurt someone with it?
Ask the same question to anyone who lives in N.Y.C. and several other U.S. cities. Knife laws here are better and probably not enforced as often but many city ordinances here might be more restrictive than you realize.
The EL-01 is still my most carried and used medium sized EDC, and also the most popular amongst other people I sell and gift them to. IMO, it still far outclasses every other folder in its size and price range. I dont regret purchasing the 100+ other models of Chinese manufactured knives because they are fun to collect. But for those looking for a single sturdy do-all knife, this is the one to have.
I notice that some of big Enlans (EL 01, 02, 02B) are available with the Bee logo instead of the Enlan. The new formerly Enlan EL01 are now Bee EL01, Bee EL01 KH or Bee EL01A.
The design of the Enlan logo looks better in my opinion - I think I have to buy some old Enlan’s before they aren’t available anymore.
I love my EL-01 (KH), I have successfully used it as a temporary kitchen knife and all around utility knife when I moved in to a new place for the school year. Only brought the essentials first time around and my EL-01 performed surprisingly well in the kitchen, didn’t get it too messy so that I could avoid having to strip it apart for cleaning (those darn screws!).
I love the ergonomics and the flipper/finger guard. Lockup is very solid and I have no worries about it slipping or failing. the ball detent is a little on the weak side, but understandable considering the weight of the blade. The only thing I would change is the pivot screw and perhaps some gimping on the thumb ramp, but for the price it already exceeds expectations as it is.
It's just too damn big .
They should make the same or similar knife in a 3/4 size .
It would sell it's butt off .
Moral panic fuelled by some of the world’s scummiest tabloids - so as to divert attention from their own misconduct. And populist politicians who thought that “knife crime” and being hard on it would win them more votes. Like a hefty minimum sentence for even being in possession of a knife.
Strictly speaking, any multitool with a blade that can be locked open (IOW one that is safe to use) is an offensive weapon.
As to how well this policy is working…
It isn’t. We just lock up more and more people.
Check the EM01 version http://www.exduct.com/Chinese-Folding-Knives/Bee-Enlan-Knives/EM01-Enlan-Pocket-Knife.html
Total length is 16,1 cm vs. 21,2 for the EL01.
What it is, the politicians and crown prosecution service have worked out you can prevent crime by simply making something illegal, I mean, everyone knows how good criminals are at obeying the law….
They also don’t seem to get that a legal system should turn criminals into law abiding citizens through punishment and rehabilitation, rather than turning law abiding citizens into criminals. :~
Too bad it doesn’t have the flipper.
Personally, I like the size of the EL-01 but others that are a little smaller that I also like (and have) are the SRM 909 and the Bee L05-1.
This one has a flipper, full flat ground:

Too bad it still has thumb studs and I’m not sure how good green pakawood would look in person. Actually pakawood (fake wood) doesn’t look that great (to me).
We’re trying to help BOAZ however 
and he may like it.
For me the EL-01D is perfect. Any smaller and a flipper is awkward to get to.

At the moment it is listed as a special limited product for $7.50. Here's a picture of the EM01 compared to the EL01:
Dimlux,
Thanks for posting the pic of the EL and EM 01s. I just received the EL-01 and love it, but I was considering buying several EM-01s as gifts and wanted to see a size comparison before I ordered. Your pic is perfect, thanks.
Here is a comparison picture of the Elan EL01 with the Bee L05-1 . The L05-1 has a full flat grind and feels so good in hand , and looks less tacticool ...
I like the L05-1 as well (and have it). The EL-01D (Rosewood) feels pretty good in the hand as well and look better (to me) than the standard EL-01.
Since I just got both the EL-01 and the L-05, looking at both side-by-side, the similarity is striking. It would be really nice if Enlan/Bee would use the L-05 and make it into a L-01 [same blade shape and grind]. That way you could have a trio of 01 knives; EL-01, L-01, EM-01.
Mmm, ffg. Must resist.
