It seems I forgot two which would've made 13:
12. Lock bar engagement - It's not necessary to have a lock bar insert. GEOMETRY is EVERYTHING. It doesn't matter that steel is riding on titanium. It won't move like the lock bar insert will, hence needing to be replaced. Watch Allen Elishewitz talk about this in his videos.
13. Heat treatment - most custom makers have this down pat. Production companies (excluding Spyderco) need to get their act together with their heat treatment. Stop hardening the steel too soft. Increase the Rockwell hardness! Watch BBB and Dr. Larrin Thomas speak about this in their videos and Larrin's articles: knifesteelnerds.com
