Got the D1K with SFT70 3000K a couple weeks ago. I found it much smaller than the pictures. And for me, it fits the best among other emisar/noctigons. It's very pocketable and “clean”. It's full blackout with black retaining ring and black bezel.
I took it out with me for a short trip out of the city. I took it along with my S21E and D3AA. And I didn’t even take the S21E out of the bag. Just used the D3AA indoors for a bit. The D1K was enough for me to not miss any other light or LED to be honest. Very nice feel in the hand, great beam resembling the old flashlights with medium sized reflector but with excellent Lume X1 and anduril 2. It made me feel that I don’t need another flashlight, lol.
My only issue and disappointment is that the black coating in the bezel sucks. I took it in my pocket with just my phone/wallet, not even any key or anything sharp. But the coating is ruined already. I put it in a ziplock bag inside the bag so there was no chance of scratching as well. So I'll get the stainless steel bezel for it next time. Even though all black is such a cool look for it.
I will try different emitters with this host. D1K surprised me more than I expected. I would love to see your D1K setup and your favourite LED on it. Thanks.

He has a black stainless bezel you can get. Personally I don’t think you should worry about scratches if you’re going to be using it. It is a tool after all
I forgot to mention on the other thread:
Strongly consider the RGB auxiliary color for your next D1/D1K switch unless you have a particular color preference.
You can set the aux to voltage mode and have a very handy voltage indicator on your button that you may otherwise not have if you opt for a solid color/no color button. ✌︎㋡
