Interestingly, this would create a knife that is undetectable to metal detectors.......
How you going to get it passed the groping fingers of TSA?
This looks pretty cool. I wonder how well the blade will take and keep an edge? I would like to see one with some colored fibers.
For the people wondering how CF holds an edge, I can tell you it's nothing like good steel.
I can cut soft things with them, like veggies and fruit and trim steaks and things with no issues, and the blade stays sharp.
However, if you start trying to carve wood or hacking through cardboard boxes and things, the blade does lose it's edge very quickly, and hacking at harder things puts tiny little knicks in the blade that a good steel knife would have taken no damage at all from.
It has it's ups and downs as a material. It would certainly make a poor machete, but it does seem to make a fine kitchen knife.
