C-tek?

[TheOTBalisong]

I just saw an advertisement for this material called C-tek...

I was wondering if any of you had any experience with it, and how does it stand up to G10/Micarta/Carbon Fiber.

Thanks.

C-tek is manufactured by Composite crafts inc in Orlando, FL. The owner is Kim, I met him last year at the FKA show in Lakeland, he seemed to be a nice guy. C-tek seemed softer than G-10, CF, and micarta. It doesn't like to be buffed at high speed and it will chip out if you're not careful and flexing it can snap it. I did have some issues with it warping if I did not work both sides the same amount. I really liked a sand/media blasted finish on it.
Hope this helps.
