Here's a nice little gentleman's knife that I finished up last week. I call this design my Bobcat. It sports a Mike Norris Damascus blade, zirconium bolsters, and lightning strike carbon fiber scales. I love how this one turned out. It made me sad to put it in a box and send it off to a new home. Let me know what you think.

Very nice Brandant, love the blade shape.

Thanks, Justin. This Bobcat design usually has a drop point blade, but at the request of the client, I modified it to a wharncliffe. I think I like this blade better than the original.

Beautifully done! Is there a trick to preventing the little stabbies when using lighting strike carbon?

That's a great question. Anyone who has worked with lightning strike CF knows exactly what you're talking about. I find that if I finish it up to about 400 grit and then take a piece of wood and "burnish" it from all different directions, those little stabbies break off and then you can proceed to your desired level of finish.
