Clear CA would work much better , believe me , I try both way .
The trick is that the carbon will reflect the light from below and it is absolutely impossible to notice that there is CA glue instead of carbon.

Hollow ground and a quick dip in the park tank to see what the Damascus looks like!

Just due to my ignorance why does that choil scare you? Cuz it could be mistaken for a finger notch Mabee?Little scary, but would make a nice wireman's knife.

Is there a certain kind of magnifying visor you find works best, or at least that you like more than others?

Starting the new year with a CPM 10V Karambit. I have only made two other K-bits before and I felt the design was off. This time I started with a drawing (as always), then made a few in aluminum to feel them in the hand, vice my normal clear lexan. This one feels good in the hand, I may make a few more in S90V.
