The only factory flaw I can see is a small tarnish spot on the underside of the brass thumb stud by the butterfly logo on the left side. Some brass polish would probably take care of this if you wanted perfection.

Description:
   The 556-1701 Mini Griptilian is a Premium Dealer Exclusive Limited Edition run. With the 556-1701, Benchmade welcomes in a beautifully upgraded Mini Griptilian combining precision machined titanium alongside wood and brass details. This limited edition is individually numbered and features CPM-20CV premium stainless steel. CPM-20CV is virtually identical in chemical composition to Benchmade's current M390 steel but is made in the USA by Niagara as opposed to Bohler based in Austria.  CPM-20CV offers better edge retention but is not quite as tough to sharpen as M390.
   The Handle: Fully machined titanium handle slabs come together to form a glorious package. Solid notching around the outer edges collectively with slotted grooves in the flats equate to a superior grip. Each slab is sandblast finished ensuring a consistent matte grey appearance and accented with stabilized wood inlays. The look is classy and modern.
To bring it all together, Benchmade has added Brass thumb studs and barrel spacers for a truly unique experience.
Finally, it is carried via a smoked gray DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coated split arrow reversible tip up pocket clip.
