sry didn't find small axis there :(
Extreme ratio is the suppler read here
maybe the Bee L02 as confirmed by vectrex best expressedthe BLF's philosophy and maybe your needs
sry the EL02/EL02B/EL01 was for me xD Vectrex can you suggest me 1 pls? :P
hi veer ty for your suggestion can you post some link pls? Can post ALL here if you haven't evil/spam purposes :P
Id recommend Exduct, very reliable with a good rep on here, worth the extra shipping IMO. Some people on here have a coupon code in their sigs if you keep an eye out.
No prob, pal, just asking if they do exist in 16-18 cm size or not :)
And yes, that L02 really caught my attention - it looks event smaller/pocketable than SRM 730, for example. And again, for that price + DD points... :P
@MixoMaxo: The Enlan EL01 is hands down is the best SRM/Bee/Enlan/Ganzo/Navy it is also one of the biggest knives and it's really fun to play with the flipper opening . If wouldn't have known the story of Enlan before... I would value the price on the European market between €40-60.
@SashiX: The pictures at Dino clearly say Bee L02 ... The box on picture 6 is from Enlan/Bee and you can see that Bee logo engraved on the blades... If you receive that knife that is on the pictures? ... I don't know... but for that price it's almost worth the risk... I also have 300 dinopoints left... that would bring it down to €4.60... that's a steal
730 total length 163mm ....L02 178 mm
It's just like the Inron but with not as good steel, worse ergonomics and a heavier body ;)
So you own both in the meantime the EL01 and the Inron MY801 to make that call?
I thought you didn't receive your EL01...
BTW the ergonomics on the EL01 are excellent.
If someone wants to see my recommendation for every size class just look here.
ty vectrex
@jeansy You have both Inron and el01? ...even google can find that "Inron" imagining the elite price I will go for the el01 anyway xD ty
Yeah I have 2 of the Enlans 01s and several others now. To be fair the Inron was more expensive and the enlan is heavier but that may well relate to sturdiness. The Inron feels slightly better in hand as it is slightly thinner and has slightly more sculpted G10.
so inron is a chinese manifacturer too? Not so expensive ...So enlan copy from Inron that copied to some1else?
154 g vs 147g isn't that much of a difference, but I don't own any Inron knives so I can't really comment on their quality. I had/have access to 3xEL01,1xEL02,1xEL06 and several Sanrenmus of the 900 series, of these knives the EL01 certainly stood out in quality. The largest knife I actually use is the SRM 909... the even bigger EL are pretty much nice shelf queens to me.
Inron is a company set-up by a ex Enlan employee afaik.
Heres a quick camera phone pic I just took of the ones I've mentioned with the Tenacious thrown in for good measure ;)
From top;
Enlan EL01
Inron MY801
Spyderco Tenacious
Navy K502
SRM 763
The grind of the Inron looks more hollow compared to the flat grind of the EL01?
12g between them on my scales. I'm not dissing the Enlan, far from it, excellent knife and prob the best in VFM, just stating facts or my opinion on the subjective parts.
It's absolutely possible that the Inrons are indeed nicer than the Enlans. There are not so many reviews out there about them, the other sellers are better known in that repect. Price is absolutely doable with $19 on Ebay... but I have already too many big knives.
Yes, I had to check that, I thought the Enlan was slight hollow ground but it appears not, the Inron is slightly hollow ground. Both similarly sharp tho.
Another consideration I justspotted from my collection; the Ganzo 710, the sharpest folder I have ever bought, axis lock. Quality is down with the Navy's tho IMO, just a shade behind the SRMs etc
I wasn't too pleased with my Navy K-631 FFG as it has some minimal vertical blade play, I had the hope it would be of the same quality as a Spyderco Police.
From the Navy's I have, the larger they are the better they are, the 502 has noticeable play, the 632 is slight and my 602 (big knife!) is pretty good. It's a real shame, I love the designs, really well thought out (by spyderco!) just not executed well.
After your thoughts and that L02 vid in your first post here... I lean towards that knife and size now :bigsmile: And for that price... $)
BTW, can't find shipping costs @Exduct. Can someone tell me how much it will be to Europe/Spain? (and if it varies from item to item or it always the same, at least for 1 item). Thanks.
How expensive is it to ship from Amazon? You can buy Gerber and Kershaw knives on Amazon, they are pretty reasonably priced. The Gerber Paraframe is $18, I've had mine for 5 years and no issues with it.
I prefer knives that have a partially serrated blade, and the Chinese knives have a few like that but not very many. I guess I'm more snobby about knives than flashlights; I really feel the difference between a 'good' Chinese knife and a good name-brand knife.
Assisted opening knives are a real kick-in-the-ass to own as well, try out the Kershaw Scallion, about $30. Small, snaps open quick, nice blade.
