My apologies for calling the "Drying Machine" the "Washing Machine", just a bad habit of mine. Good all around EDC knife with perfect quality all around. Great knife for only $10-$15, I dislike the handles finish so in this video I will be showing how to stonewash the Sanrenmu 710. Blade is extremely sharp and has good edge retention as the stonewash process barely wore the edge. Total time to complete the stonewashed Sanrenmu was about 3 hours.

Thank you everyone for the kind words.

Sanrenmu really has picked it up a notch or two. I have been comparing Sanrenmu, Enlan, and Bee knives for the past month or so and the Sanrenmu knives have the best detail to prefection followed very close in line by Enlan. The BEE knives I purchased on the other hand have dissapointed me and would come 3rd in line.
 
Here is my new Pocket Clip Mod. It allows for better egonomics and also allows me to squeeze on the framelock when knife is opened.

Got one of these last week and, for the money, the value is remarkable. Blade perfectly centered, reasonably sharp out of the box, grind lines even, all as it should be.
I flicked it open about 50 times and the frame lock DID move a bit toward the center but it seems to have found its "sweet spot" and is holding position. A session
on the sharpmaker and it shaves hair, although I have no idea how long the edge will hold. I have a small Sebenza classic and, despite the rhetoric, it is NOT
a knock-off the the Reeve design; size, blade shape, clip design, all different. The handle shape is very similar, but not close enough to be called a copy. If this
is what less then $10 bucks can buy from China, USA makers can expect a stiff battle.
 
I tried it and think with goog resoult on littel DOZIER KABAR.
I put a polish and shiny USB memory and one original stonewash balde .
only 1 hour of hand shake ;-)

What happened to that sanrenmu 710? Looks like it got dragged along a gravel road!
Just kidding, it looks great. Smooth and shiny is not always a good thing.
