Enlan/Bee EL-01 Customization
The Enlan EL-01 is one of my favorite knives of all time. As it comes from the factory it is already very good, but it's well suited to a few mods that can make it awesome.
We strongly recommend a pair of simple upgrades. First we modify the proprietary pivot bolt by adding a screwdriver slot. This makes maintenance and adjustment possible with simple tools. Second we upgrade the factory pivot bushings, which are nylon on one side and a small rough metal washer on the other to high quality phosphor bronze on both sides.
We can also add an Emerson style wave opener, and a finger choil in front of the guard. It also has a long, fairly broad, blade that makes it a good candidate for decorative acid etching. Other blade finish options include stonewashing, and high polish.
If there's something you want done that's not in the list below ask me about it. Maybe it's possible.

Mods:
Blade Finishes:
Stock finish is satin, but I can change that.
*New experimental type. May not produce even coloration, but it will darken the blade.
Note: Most refinishes will leave the blade dull. I don't normally resharpen for several reasons. But if you really need it done, let me know and for a few bucks I'll make an exception.
