Thanks' Von. I'm beginning to look for more carbon fiber rod and tube colors to incorporate into my designs. I really like the similarity in color as well. So far I've only been able to find the color above and black (the good news is you can get different diameters). I'd love to find some dark maroon and a darker brown, in rods and tubes alike.I like the similar colour pins in the top knife OP. I have started to think very positively of this aspect of the visuals of the knife.
