Opening via the flipper
While knife is closed, hold knife firmly allowing for knife opening to be clear to open blade. Then apply pressure with your index finger on the flipper. The more pressure, the faster the blade will fully open to locked position.
Unlocking the Blade
The blade will automatically secure when fully opened by the frame lock. To unlock the frame lock, simply push the left frame in the left direction with your thumb until blade is clear. Then push blade down to close. Be sure all fingers are clear before fully closing blade.

Warranty Claims
In the event that your Factor Equipment knife breaks under the terms of this warranty, please contact customer service by emailing support@factorequipment.com. A customer service representative will provide you with instructions for getting your product serviced. Shipping charges for repair or replacement are not covered under warranty.
Products that are discontinued and not repairable will be worked with on a case by case basis with each customer.
What is not Covered
This warranty runs as long as you own your product unless your Factor Equipment product is modified in any way.
This warranty does not cover breakage or failure due to misuse. Our products are designed to be of high quality and it should be extremely rare that your product break due to effect. Usually they break or fail from what we consider abusive behavior (not covered by warranty):
The warranty can become void if:
- Our knives are used for any purpose other than cutting (improper use).
- The knife is modified in any way.
- There is damage caused by abuse, misuse, loss, improper handling, alterations, accident, neglect, disassembly, or improper sharpening.
- Repairs to your knife are performed by any other source
- unsuitable tasks like prying, pounding, chiseling, and hammering
- most blade tip breakage is not covered by our warranty.
Also, consequential and incidental damages are not recoverable under this warranty. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of consequential damages, so this exclusion or limitation may not apply to you.
Misuse of your knife can cause serious injury or even death. It can also cause your knife to break or fail and the Factor Equipment limited lifetime warranty will not apply. Failure to properly maintain your knife also may cause its mechanisms to not function properly, which could result in injury to you or damage to the knife.
Like most tools, our knives should be cared for properly. As your knife has been used for an extended period of time, it is possible that the knife may need sharpening or maintenance to retain its usefulness. Any and all maintenance is the responsibility of the knife owner and is not covered by this warranty.

Fantastic knife, I have them all and am a huge knife snob and bought this actually to experiment with sharpening and customozing the scales and when it showed up I was blown away. Seriously I have knives from every big make like Chris Reeve, Hinder,Hoback,Spyderco,Benchmade and this one is my most carried along with the kizer T1. Some good info as i’ve had for over a year and actually bought 4 I liked them so much, they are great,easy to sharpen, the knives comes apart for cleaning in minutes, has an amazing action and detent is perfect.. and this is not one sample but the four I’ve had. I love them and at this price don’t feel bad using them hard. Factor is also a good company as I had to make some calls and they were super helpful and sent me to the person who packs each order as I was wanting a carbon fiber one really badly and he was super helpful. I can say I would deal with them again although so far none of the new designs have been my style I have heard some good things about them in the reviews and on the forums/youtube.
