Carbon fiber addiction
I remember I didn't like carbon fiber too much. Over time my tastes have changed and I find it's actually my favorite material. I really like the peel ply carbon fiber Spyderco uses. I really like how light it makes a knife. Now it seems like if a knife has carbon fiber I almost have to buy it.
Anyone else on this boat?

I also love Spyderco’s CF peel ply. Makes the knife look really elegant and classy. I have the Sage 5 and it’s the perfect gentleman’s folder.

Couldn’t agree more!! Love CF!
I just unboxed this bad boy! I fell in love with the orange G10 version......but CF was available and I couldn’t resist! It has a very different texture, feels great!

Big fan of the peel-ply Golden's!

You haven't lived until

Re: Carbon fiber addiction
I don't agree. I own probably 20 or so, but only because the other material combinations weren't available with G-10.

Re: Carbon fiber addiction
I really like the peel-ply cf. The other varieties...not so much.
Re: Carbon fiber addiction
I also need the right steel along with the CF, but I really have come to enjoy peel ply CF. I really like how it feels and it just adds a little extra special touch to a knife.

Re: Carbon fiber addiction
I like everything. Cf peel ply is newest to me and I do love it. I don't really know if I actually prefer full cf to spydercos peel ply. Atm I feel I need more color in my collection.
Re: Carbon fiber addiction
Peel ply is usually solid CF unless it's from Taichung where they use a lot of CF/G10 laminate. The Military 52100 and Yojimbo 2 S90V for example are solid CF with a peel ply finish. The peel ply is referring to the texture, not the construction.pftbahaa wrote:I like everything. Cf peel ply is newest to me and I do love it.

I hope to add another Fluted CF Native to the collection soon. Beautiful and functional.

Re: Carbon fiber addiction
I'd buy a Military with fluted CF scales in any steel. Literally if they made a tin foil blade I'd buy one just for the scales lol.ZrowsN1s wrote:I hope to add another Fluted CF Native to the collection soon. Beautiful and functional.

Re: Carbon fiber addiction
Still holding out for another carbon fiber Police run.
I'm real tempted by this run.bearfacedkiller wrote:

Good to know. The sliverax is my first cf peep ply knife, so I wasn't aware.Evil D wrote:Peel ply is usually solid CF unless it's from Taichung where they use a lot of CF/G10 laminate.

Re: Carbon fiber addiction
As far as I know, the Sliverax does not have peel ply CF. It's just plain old CF/G10 laminate.pftbahaa wrote:The sliverax is my first cf peep ply knife, so I wasn't aware.

Yep, it is yet another type of CF finish. It's kind of between peel ply and your standard smooth CF. Peel ply is pretty similar in feel to nice new crisp G10, maybe a bit more aggressive even. Underneath the peel ply top finish you can still see the typical CF weave underneath. It's awesome.

Re: Carbon fiber addiction
I don't have any peel ply cf yet. May just have to pick up a Para 3 52100 so I can experience the steel and the scale material.Evil D wrote:Sharp Guy wrote:As far as I know, the Sliverax does not have peel ply CF.
