Solid Carbon Fiber "hideaway" knife with sheath

[JB Knives]

I made this a while ago, and it's been sitting in my display case. I finally got around to making a sheath for it, so it's ready for a new home. It's small size and construction means you can stash it just about anywhere!

The knife is made from a piece of 5/32" thick mil-spec carbon fiber- it is very solid, and there are no voids or pits. The bevel is hollow ground on both sides, and the final edge was convexed into the bevel for strength. The entire knife was hand finished to 800 grit and then buffed for a nice smooth look. I added a few serrations as well for some extra ripping ability. This knife is sharp and will cut, although it will not perform like steel.

The leather sheath is hand stitched from 9oz. leather and is quite rigid. It's designed for pocket carry, but it has great retention and can be worn upside down if desired. In the interest of not adding anything metallic, there is no eyelet hole- however, there is enough extra room to punch a hole in the sheath (just inside of the tip stitching) if you wanted a way to tie it to a neck lanyard.

• 5.25" overall
• 2.5" blade
• 5/32" thick carbon fiber construction
• Hand stitched leather pocket case (no belt loop)

What kind of sharpening method would be required for maintaining a cutting edge? Sorry for the newbie question, I've just never dealt with a carbon fiber knife before, it's definitely an intriguing looking blade.

I used a fine emery board for the main edge, and 800 grit sandpaper wrapped around a small file for the serrations. Like all CF knives, the edge will not cut or keep an edge like a steel blade- but for its intended purpose as a backup tool against softer targets it will do the job.
