Hvroje,
Nice work. I bow to your skill w/ the lathe. I have access to a lathe but it’s a standard shop sized beast and too large to attempt any item as small as a pivot screw.
I have a few EL01s lying around and the one with the black blade can be flicked open as easily as the rest of them.
I think it depends on the factory F&F.
Nice job!
Some of the EL01Ds come with a quite pretty grain pattern.
Ahh these look lovely. I think I need one with these handles. >.<
P.S. Isti, I love your blog! Always nice photos!
Thank you! 
hi there,
where could I get an Enlan El-01 for a …say…decent price ? Decent, as in “lowest possible” ?
I live in Europe, so a free shipping website would be cool (at least it would make S&H fees easy to calculate !)
TIA
Doing Outdoor? I've not ordered there myself though. Actually, I would go with Ebay seller "Chinese Knives" (he's on BLF too). I've had good experience with him. Here's his "Enlan EL01" store page.

Hello Gift Limited, or Exduct EDC Gifts on AliExpress are also good suppliers and have free shipping on most of their products.
New big Sanrenmu, with orange G10.
I believe he is also Ebay seller "Chinese Knives" aka "Hello Gift Shop".

Yes, David. A good dealer.
Sandvik 12C27 too!
I’d be highly suspicious, I recall the 910 was the large version of the 710, branded “LAND” and was discontinued some time ago. There have been unofficial fakes floating around as the 910+ and the Mingren 910. Especially coming from Aliexpress, I’d be extra weary.
Might be a nice knife though, even if it isn’t official SRM. The price doesn’t make it an attractive option just to try it out
Yeah, that $30 plus price is too much. I’d order one to try out for under $20.
That seller posts occasionally on BLF. I’m inclined to trust him.
I’d like to know what Jacky of Exduct thinks of the Mingren. He did warn of fake Sanrenmu etc.
I picked one up off an ebay seller in the US. $15.87 shipped and it is an Enlan marked version. I like it, but still prefer assisted knives. Time will tell, great deal for the money. It worked fine right out of the box, tight lock up. No issues after a month. I got it from sirjoban, the price has increased, the seller wants $14 plus $3.24 shipping currently. I got it in three days….
+ $4.99 for shipping with China Post….
Oh man I missed the shipping part. Bummer.
