Very nice Chris, I like the shape of the guard and spacers. What is the inlay in the sheath?

thanks Chris, i am really glad you like it.
this is the first knife of this type or honestly an s-guard of any type, and i am pretty happy with it too. The inlay on the sheath is a single layer of 2k Twill Carbon fiber laid up with West Systems epoxy. it really adds stiffness to the sheath.
thanks!

Chris, I thought it was Cf. I like it.

Thanks, Allen. Did you end up with some good pictures from the shop visit in Mountain View?

Quite a few from the cutting comp turned out and there are some other good ones as well. I'm trying to write up a bit about it and once that is done I'll get them on the net.
 
Very nice! There were some great camp/choppers there. I learned from the event and understand edge geometry better now.
