Yes, have been using both for awhile now, Military is constant EDC, Temperance as well when not at work.
Short review :
I have used a lot of fixed blades in the Temperance class, it is easily the quality of the better customs I have seen in regards to cutting ability, handle ergonomics, sheath functionality and overall balance of design. The NIB edge was sharper than any custom I have seen, and exceeded even the OLFA utility blades. It was so sharp I had to change the standard way I measured sharpness to be able to record it. It resharpens easily and the edge retention is solid, no problems with corrosion even with extended kitchen work.
I have not used a lot of folders, however the Military is the equal of what I have seen, and quite frankly there is little to improve on unless the design was going to be radically altered (change the flatish handle profile to increase ergonomics which of course changes ease of carry significantly). The cutting ability is very high, close to the Temperance (edge angle was slightly higher), grip is very secure and decently comfortable for that type of folder. Lock is secure under standard testing and extended heavy use operates smoothly with and without gloves.
I had some problems sharpening it initially with waterstones (diamonds were easy), which went away after realizing the problem was mainly a lack of initial work with the setting stones, and realizing that the honing time is slightly longer than with VG-10. With this determined and slightly modifing the edge angle to match my preference for freehand (same as Temperance), ease of resharpening was not difficult, though I would not call it easy, and obtaining a high sharpness either very polished or coarse was readily possible.
More specific details will be in the various reviews, very fine knives both. With the Temperance I was very surprised by its size, I expected it to be much smaller.
