I have the bottom one, and keep it locked, because it is serioulsy addictive. I got it, and could not put it down for an hour, just flipping, cutting some paper, closing. Using the button, closing, reverse flicking, and so on. It felt not 100% healthy.

struck out on the cf one with satin blade. goddang i hate life sometimes
Ah bummer - they went fast. I only have the one, but if I see another, and I have all sorts of retailers, I'll pick it up - CF show side AND clip side? Mine is Ti show side and black carbon fiber clip side.

Incidentally, they come with another pivot and also extra magnets.

fwiw, the knife is not superthick. I would feel both sides Carbon fiber to be too lightweight, but I like more substantial feeling knives.

I am used to striders and hinderers so I like the heft 💪

I like Hinderer, but striders not so much. Anyway, if I see a Factor, I’ll pick it up for you,

A lot of custom makers use RWL34, and it is easy to touch up, ime.

I think that for a small knife though, I prefer either magnacut or S45VN, which both seem to take a good working edge the lasts a long time, and are not that hard to sharpen.
