I see...the screws would be a minor thing for the factory to improve upon, maybe it would increase production cost by 30cents or something.
Still these knives are an excellent price without the middle man, or US mark-ups...thanks for the review and your pictures!
WOW thanks for that link. I love SRM knives so much, Im going to read all 81 pages when I get a chance 
There are one or two threads on Enlan, Navy and Ganzo too.
There is also quite a long Sanrenmu thread on Bladeforums but I don't think it has been added to for some time.
Great mod! Bee/Enlan should take note.
Thoth, how did you hollow grind the blade without wrecking the temper?
Convex is the complete opposite of hollow grind (concave).
I think he meant that he convexed (rounded the opposite way of "hollow") the grind itself, on the very edge.
Thanks for the links Vectrex. Just got one from Exduct.
As Vectrex said I did the opposite of hollow grinding, the edge instead of a perfect V is now like a gothic arch.
Since I just convexed the edge not the full height of the blade and because I did it by hand with sandpaper and leather heat was not a issue.
I could have used the belt sander, in that case all that was needed to not ruin the heat treat is to mantain the blade cool while grinding, it is important to not use gloves so that you can feel the heat, and dunk the blade in water every couple passages on the belt. Also is important to notice that because the edge is much thinner than the back of the blade it will heat much faster.
The method I used is similar to this one:
Thoth , Great mod !
I convex all of my blades except my Moras .
So this is called convexing? I usually put a sanding paper disc on my Dremel and use this to convex my edges. Hand must be trained a little to keep the angle on that little machine but it is easily doable. Don't think I am doing it on a $100-200 blade, though.
I think I'll try that. What (speed) level do you use on the Dremel? Slowish, I suppose?
Can't remember the speed but slowish, 2nd or the 3rd setting on the lower end.
I'm sure they'd love to. :) Trouble is Ernest Emerson was smart enough to patent what is, in hindsight, a very simple, straightforward idea. He (or his patent lawyer) just made it seem like the best invention since the microbrewery, while sticking to the legal basics which is one reason why the patent is still valid.
See for yourself. I guess that's the main reason you don't see wave-style hooks on a lot of knives, even 12 years after he filed the patent. And I think that's a shame because it's a great feature. Most legitimate knife makers simply don't want to be sued.
My old Commander is still a favorite of mine and I really want one of those waved Enduras. I just don't want it bad enough to pay 65 bucks for one. ;)
I can't imagine a U.S. patent stopping a Chinese company from make waved knives, considering these companies make axis locks, spyderholes, and "inspired" designs.
Yes, what s.c. said. Same goes for Michael Walker's linerlock, for that matter. While I sympathize with the patent holder, the fact is such designs get copied mercilessly - especially by the Chinese. Heck, I have a copy of the Emerson Commander from DX - the manufacturer not only copied the wave feature, but the entire knife and packaging. SRM may be in a slightly different position, being an OEM supplier to various US companies, and is therefore held to a higher standard of conduct. But the knives we have been buying seem to be intended for the Chinese market anyway, which might insulate them from some criticism.
I was just putting myself in the place of a savvy Chinese project manager when I saw that nice, tall thumbrest on the EL01. 
This'll probably be my next budget knife, after the postal strike around here is dealt with. Haven't owned any Enlan blades yet. Thoth, what did you grind with?
Postal strike in Canada is no big deal. Its a rotating strike in different cities, then it will only deliver on M-W-F. I ordered some knives a few weeks ago, and they were both delivered to me fine yesterday.
Perhaps, but it's an exceptional excuse to keep me from spending money as well.
