I got this a few days ago so here is a few pics and some words about it 
:thumbup:
This is one of his small neck knives with the finger ring like an Emerson La Griffe or Kiku North land. This one is pretty much a smaller version of the HAK that WT does.
The knife is made from the carbon fiber and titanium laminate that WT is well know for and has a carbide frosting that forms the actual cutting edge.
Being made from carbon fiber and titanium its not exactly heavy, it wighs in at 14g so that is a very light knife by any ones standards.
The carbide edge is atually fairly hard wearing from what I've seen and will shave hair but does have a "toothy" feel to it.
The kydex sheath is geared for neck carry but i suppose you could put a few extra holes in for a tek-lok if you wanted to.
The sheath works just fine but there is a bit of a technique to getting the balde back in.
As you can see lots of points and edges for all sorts of mess making.
(note the small chip in the CF on the main "protrusion")
This is the standard Ti finish rather than the "finger print" finish you see on alot of his knives.
While the finger print anodising is pretty cool I personally prefer the look of the plain Ti.
This is the carbide edge that is "frosted" onto the back of the blade and forms the cutting edge.
Ti is obviously a bit too soft for any sort of respectable edge retention so this is a good way round
the problem. These knives can be "shave sharp" but generally have a more agressive micro-saw edge
that will cut very well but not feel as sharp as it actually is.
This is a better side on view of the carbon fiber titanium laminate.
I have a few of the laminate knives from WT and IMO G-10 is the better choice if you want to get one of these knives.
I have found that on alot of the CF laminate blades the carbon fiber tends to chip away at the points. This is something I
have never seen happen on the G-10 laminate knives and other than look there is no real difference in either G-10 or CF.
