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.

America has reached 250 years, and I am grateful to be here, in the best country in the world. Thank every one of you who helps make this country a better place, those who have gone before and risked it all, and those who've paid the ultimate price to make the United States what we are today.
Happy Birthday America! Let Freedom Ring for all time!

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.
