Amazing job on the mirror. How did you even do that?

Thank you! I used diamond lapping film purchased from Jende Industries. It's what I use to sharpen it and cuts the tungsten carbide quite well. Started at 30 micron, then 9, then 3. Took a couple hours, all told.
It's not perfect, but it turned out better than I thought it would. ;)
 
Carried the new guy yesterday, Civivi Exarch. This thing is fantastic and has officially joined the harem. Opened some boxes and mail with it yesterday. Obviously a light duty knife with the lack of grip. It is insanely sharp and excellent in every way except the clip can dig a little when flipping. Despite not wanting to give the CCP my money, these WE/Civivi knives are just so excellent.

The Exarch, especially the CF/Damascus, is an oxymoron. Complex simplicity. Straight forward, minimalist design, with typical drop blade, yet CF, front flipper, bearings, damascus. I like that the scales are chamfered giving some extra grip.

It looks great and makes the knife look more like something people would be interested in carrying. I am sure you can put a nice edge on it also if you can do that to the entire blade.
