My new collection of 50+ Chinese knives

My God man... my wife would KILL me.

How do you like the 733? I've been thinking of getting one - I like smaller flippers.

Wow, if you announced that here in the U.S. (if you lived here) you'd get robbed in no time. I never tell anyone what I've got, except for individual lights.

The 733 is an excellent choice and is one of the sharper knives for its broad blade design and size. I personally love the style and carry one clipped to my shorts when I go rafting down the river. Its also very comfortable to handle. Typical excellent SRM construction and materials. Now all you have to decide is black or silver.

If those are the only 2 folders you ever buy, Im sure they'll give you years of service and enjoyment. Some bragging rights will probably accompany your EL01.

Buy a large watchful dog. Only suicidal morons would attempt robbing you after Brutus was on duty.

For a non knife guy, I still found a lot to like in your post :)

I have a dog. This one. It's watchful. It's not that large. But then again, being a terrier, once it bites to something it will not let go. Robbing a house with 8kg of dog hanging around in ones genital region would be... bit of an inconvenience, I'd suppose.


I added my collection of Chinese knives to whooping three with SRM 763 (others being SRM 707 and Enlan M014). That is one impressive knife. Nice size, axis lock feels solid and above all it's one crazy sharp sharp thingy! I mean come on! That is stupidly sharp for a 10$ knife. G10 handle feels secure even when wet and the blade has just the right angle for my taste. Much better blade angle than 707 and the like. Two thumbs up.

Wow, nice collection... I have only SanRenMu 710 SS and GB4-612.

I always EDC SRM GB4-612, because it's so small and light weight (less than 50 g).

HID45, cute doggie you've got there.

Im always very satisfied with the amazing quality for the price that we get with these knives.

The SRM 710 SS is the knife I gift the most. Its one of the few designs that pleases a wide variety of people and seems to find its way into their pockets for EDC. I walked into the fire station yesterday and saw a friend showing one off to a few others. Everyone always thinks its a $25 knife.

Greatwalloutdoor still has several (nearly impossible to find) Sanrenmu/SRM 9x series knives. Although they are now in the low $20 range, they are still a great bargain and "must have's" for anyone seeking to round out their collection. Get them before the supply is gone forever.

These knives were apparently outlawed for production by the local Chinese police because several people were attacked by them. (We've all heard of a Chinese fire drill... now we know what a Chinese police bust must resemble)

The reseller has several other interesting knives and a well designed web site. My buying experience with them was a good one. I received email confirmations upon purchase and received my package in about 2.5 weeks.

Can someone tell me some of the typical places you purchased your knives? I noticed that greatwalloutdoor.com seems to have good prices at the moment. FlashPilot's experience with them seems to be good also.

What knife do you own that you especially like and feel that you got it for a great price? Then, if you can, please link to the seller. Thanks

Please read all 712 posts from this thread first. ;-) Ok might be a little too much, maybe just these 2 posts then : 1 2

I have good experience with exduct , bestofferbuy , Tinydeal and Priceangels. EL01 , 909 get my vote.

I would get these, (same knives, same place I ordered from)

Good choice. Its no secret that I still rate the EL01 as the absolute best large folding knife in my collection... bar none. <--- Link for $11.99 includes shipping. Not sure you if can find it for less with shipping.

Good link!

I tried to get it for 11.99, but Im in Canada so it charges me $3.75 for the shipping fee :(

Still for whatever it costs even $16 shipped its a real deal for what you get.

I have a black coated one and a regular satin color blade one, very happy with them both!

Same here...link has shipping charges attached.

I have a harbor freight special with a hollow handle! 7 bucks when on sale!

The sheath has a plastic insert to keep from shredding your 'nads...

(Don't say it) ;-]

el01 is an awesome knife..I have an el02 and it's almost as good..little play when opened which kind of bothers me, but i'm just being a perfectionist i'm sure..I am thinking about ordering an el04 with the snake skin micarta handle, but i'm not sure it will be perfectly tight when opened given it's an axis lock (same as el02)..my el01 is tight when opened with no play whatsoever..might take the chance for 20$

Both of my EL-02's are tight and from early production. Would tightening the jam nut help or is the slop in the lockup area where the jam mechanism meets the blade?

I just received my EL-04 and it is tight with zero wobble. It looks as nice as the photos suggest but still not enough in overall design robustness and ergonomics to topple the EL-01 from its thrown.

EL-04

tried tightening my el02 and the play resides..it's not a large play but it exists..guess it's a lottery..

I'm hungry!

Nice presentation, Flash!
