Well, here it is, my first 25:)

I've always tried to use the best carbon fiber that I can find. Halperns and Alpha Knife Supply have never steered me wrong. But recently, I had a chance to test drive some of the fine carbon from Blacksite. Wow, this stuff is amazing! It is uniform with no voids, which is extremely rare in carbon.

And to you Sebenza lovers, this is my very first 25. Well, its actually not mine, but it does belong to a member here;)

Let me know what you think, please.






 
Love the holographic, dimensional look of the CF. I have a feeling your services will be in demand. Really nice work.

Thanks! This stuff has amazing translucence. I'm pretty sure I'll be using a lot of Blacksite material from this point on.
 
Beautiful. Not a big CF guy as I have only ever had a plain Hinderer XM24 scale to go by, but was just not for me. But I will tell you it had absolutely no depth and beauty like this one. This one is absolutely amazing.

Barry H, I have told you before, and will tell you yet again that you do AMAZING WORK :thumbup::thumbup: :applause:

Let me know if you make a limited run of the scale(s), I'm in!

I don't make "runs". I make scales one at a time. All my work is handcrafted, by using simple hand and bench tools. I do not use any cnc type mills.

I gotcha. Well that is the key to a beautiful result that you achieve. Good to know.
 
I'm returning it after a day because the CF is way too shiny in person. At least mine is. Is this CF from blacksite less shiny?

I don't buff mine to a high gloss, I do a satin finish. All c/f has to be finished according to what you want. You possibly could reduce your shine by taking a scotch brite pad to it (gray). But I don't know if that would void any CRK warranty that you have.
 
Wow!

If you have enough material to make another one and are interested please pm me the price so we can get the deal done.

That looks beautiful!
 
That is awesome looking, a job very well done! I also would appreciate a pm on the price for this service if you would please Sir.
 
Absolutely beautiful.

I do not like the changes made the Sebenza 25 (wider blade stock, thicker, weight, and "tacticool" finger grooves were not needed and undesirable) but your CF scales make the knife look appealing!
