I ordered one just on a whim......

I am blown away by the F&F, design etc. $17,99 shipped makes it a crazy deal. I could easily EDC this as my only knife except for my obsession with knives in general. Only complaints are the wonky proprietary pinion and I wish the clip was stiffer and deeper riding.

Sorry for the bad pic....

I picked up a 2 a long time ago and carried it for a week recently. I am very happy with what you get for the $$. Always good to have a few beaters around. F&F issues are very minor. It is nice and smooth, easy to flick open and snap shut. Locks up really solid with no play. The lock release broke in well. Grinds are even, blade centered, and the edge has held up well for "budget" steel. Main complaint, stupid pivot screw with no tool.

Here is an ok pic I had on my phone:

I've thought about getting a 1 as well.
 
I have an Enlan EL01 that is almost unused since I have other knives to carry, but I am consistently impressed by the ease with which it flips. A great flipper for the price, if a bit large.
 
Enlan makes a very nice range of knives that you can buy for not too much money.

I should probably grab an EL-02 some time.

This is the combo edge EL-01.

I have a few Enlan's I'm very impressed with them they make some of the best value knives around. I have knives worth 20 times there price but I'll still carry an Enlan a couple of times a week.

They sell a Broker branded version of the EL-01 in brown G10 and black blade and hardware.


 
I T and E'd one at THR a while back. I was not impressed with actual performance.
