the Factor is one of a kind for sure! Love the full ti and can't wait to get one! Really a lot of improvements as if it were even necessary! Great overview really enjoy your videos.
Very sorry to hear about the vertigo attacks. We're all here to support you in any way we can. Exciting video, for a beautiful knife. You do great work, Sir. I sincerely hope that you get well soon.
Met Bryan at a local knife meet a few weeks ago here in Minnesota. He's for sure my favorite knifemaker and I almost shit my pants when someone told me he was there, got to try out the B3 and a bunch of other prototypes he brought. Really cool guy and I absolutely plan on getting every knife of his I can get my grubby little hands on.😂
Does anyone know if you can customize the giopivot and lock buttons? I really want the magnacut carbon fiber version, but I am not the biggest fan of the lime green accents.
I’ve been interested in getting one of these from the beginning. Being that I’m a machinist, the magnets concern me. Of course I’d never take it to work tho. Hmmmm
would he consider making the G10 Deployment into Titanium and Steel (against the blade)? I'm thinking it could make a nice acoustic on contact. plus being more sturdy than G10.
The Factor B3's will come in two configurations - either with a carbon fiber flip lever (the one shown in this video is black G10, but in production they'll all be carbon fiber), or with a fixed backspacer that fills the notch (also carbon fiber)... If you're a fidgeter like me you'd probably prefer the flip lever configuration, but for those who prefer a more "normal" knife with a little better ergos, the solid backspacer configuration is a really good option - it almost feels like a different knife. ...The carbon fiber flip lever offers less friction and lightens things up a bit vs titanium.. ..Cheers! :)
I believe the damascus version is a 9CR type blend and not actual Damasteel. I think Bryan mentioned that in some comments on instagram. I could be wrong. But since it’s not actual Damasteel branded damascus, that should keep the price down. And the damascus blade is only on the black version. Do your own research people, take everything with a grain of salt in case I am wrong. But I’m fairly sure that’s what Bryan said in many responses. Hope that helps.
Yes, you’re right. Bryan alerted me to this right after my upload. I haven’t seen the Damascus in person, and from pics, it looked like Damasteel. Bad guess on my part!
@@jvac138 9cr18mov is a Chinese made steel which is pretty good at keeping an edge and also good stainless properties as well. It’s a generic, lesser expensive steel that performs pretty well. I don’t know how much the properties change in Damascus form though, and what other steels may be in the matrix that could affect performance.
I wonder if you can customize them or if itll be a set amount of color combinations i may email him and see i came in the game late for the b2 and just figured out about them a month or two ago and bought one off ebay for alot but anyways im not missing out on this one
Did you ever get an answer from him about customization? I really want to get the Magnacut version 3 that is coming out but I don't want the green accents
YT Vertigo stretches and boom gone. Not to be rude but it’s easily treatable and silly to deal with the intense wave that goes across the brain and then fight the dizziness.
I wish they helped. Mine isn’t from inner ear problems, it’s cervicogenic vertigo. I’ve tried a few stretches that I’ve seen but it doesn’t change anything unfortunately. I have multiple degenerative discs and multiple exposed/pinched nerves, so it’s pain everyday, reduced mobility in my neck and loss of feeling in my arms and hands. Sometimes my hands will actually lose strength and even drop things I’m holding. Tons of fun daily.
@@JimSkeltonKnives ouchie :( recently got treatment for chronic pain and I didn’t even realize how debilitating it had gotten until I could move normally again. I hope you’re doing okay
@@JimSkeltonKnives Believe me or don’t but if you do the stretches where you pull your neck to the left and to the right along with sleeping with your hands below your head, it will be a tremendous help. We all have degenerative discs at some point in our life and very typical at your age and many with spinal stenosis or exposed nerves. Stretches, resistance bands and hands down will cure what ails you.
The purple ti isn’t on the preorder list. In fact nothing on the preorder list has the milling or contouring yours does. Are the pics of version 2 and still need to be updated or is yours special? Super curious because that purple might be my favorite color and the knife you displayed might’ve immediately become my holy grail knife
I'd love to handle one of these. Surely it's no good if your in the construction industry? All I can imagine is every piece of iron sticking to it. It's probably ok if you're an office worker...

Hello fellow Minnesotan. Always nice to know there are others near me.
@NotReallyRicky There are dozens of us! Gotta check out american edge if you haven't, that's where I scored my Factor B2.
Yeah us MN knife people lurk in the cold shadows, but we do exist! 😂🥶 ...Thanks Mitch! 🙏
Wait a minute!? A Minnesota knife meet up!? How do I get involved in future ones??? Burnsville resident here.
He’s a super nice guy, isn’t he?
I miss Minnesota sometimes. But I don’t miss it at all from October through June 😂
Purple is everytime it appears. Good choice Jim- solid review
I've always wanted one of these an finally I got one coming an it's the B1 🤙🏻
I hope you are feeling better
I've been waiting for the B3 drop and that purple looks awesome, may have to try for that version
Getting in on this 💯
Great knife all versions!
is there a set quantity that will be available or number made according to pre order amount
One day I will get one. Maybe May 24th will be the day...or at least pre-order it.

I want a purple frame with the toxic green g10 accents

@Jim Skelton what's the deal with 9cr? Quick rundown please?

@@JimSkeltonKnives Thanks m8

I bet there’s some mixing and matching that could be done.
Did you ever get an answer from him about customization? I really want to get the Magnacut version 3 that is coming out but I don't want the green accents
thinking that I have no reason whatsoever to buy another Factor, while simultaneously placing a calendar reminder on Outlook for the release of v3.
LOL! You'll be glad you did once you have it in your hand. The changes made to how it feels in the hand are significant
Nice but you didn't try to scratch your watch crystal with it !
