I picked up a piece of Carbon Fiber at blade, from Chuck Bybee at Alpha knife Supply. He told me, "You gotta check this stuff out.. It's the coolest C.F. ever!!" He went on to explain that it is carbon fiber with bronze wire woven into it. Chuck said it is used on the new Boeing 777 to diffuse the electricity if the plane should happen to get struck by lightning. Hence, the name. " Lightening Strike.
I figured what the heck.. I would give it a try.
This is what some of it turned out to be. All I could say when it was done was HOLY COW!!!!
I called Chuck up right away and ordered some more!!
Believe me when I say the photos don't even begin to do this stuff justice. It becomes totally 3 dimensional when it gets moved around a bit..

Closed length is 4". Open length is 7 3/8". With a 3 3/8" blade of bead blasted CPM154.
Liners are .050 bead blasted ti. A ti thumb stud back spacer and tip-up pocket clip finish it off.


Thanks for looking and let me know what you think...
