BRT Thunderstorm Kevlar and Hitachi White Damascus

[Leethal Cutlery]

Hey guys! I picked up some of Bens Kevlar handle material a couple weeks ago, and I must say this stuff is awesome!! I've always heard Kevlar makes a bad handle material because the fabric frays out and doesn't sand right. That wasn't the case. This stuff was super easy to work. I just wanted to show y'all what it came out like. Now all I have to do is make a sheath.

Cool handle. Cool steel. Cool knife. :thumbup:

Cool, kinda looks like burlap, still cool though

Thanks William. Yeah I think so too. It has little pieces of brass fiber in it. Kinda like lightning strike carbon fiber. It looks really cool in the sun.

Def. The Hitachi White gets crazy keen.

I love that steel. It gets crazy sharp.

Completely agree! I'm in love with this stuff. So easy to get it laser sharp. I have an Ozuku Asagi stone that that is perfect for this steel.

Here is one that my Brother Trevor made from the same steel. Kevlar bolster and carbon fiber. I made the sheath.
