Carbon Fiber - 101
Carbon Fiber - 101
I just received these beauties in the mail today. I was lucky enough to find matching numbers, and was hoping to find the Civilian in PE as well in #101, but I wasn't that lucky! Anyway, I hope you enjoy the pic's.
Felly,
I was going to see something like introductory course on CF...and got your pictures instead :confused: .
I was not disappointed to say the least! Great pictures! I am not the biggest fan of Police with "Police" on the blade, but your pictures, or CF, or ...well...both make it look stunning.
Thanks!

Beautiful knives. Like WhyNot I was expecting an education...so how about it? What the heck is carbon fiber, who invented it, where does it come from, how did it get to be a premium handle material, why is my bicycle made of it? We really DO need a class on the subject!

lovely knives and photos Felly... :cool:
I do sometimes get a hankering for some "old scool" shiny/gloss CF clipit.... like my PE Harpy (sprint run vg10 one).......but that matte finish (on the Tmag and zdp Caly3) has got me all up in a tizzy....
That Police PE looks especially Sweet! Could it be THE ONE ?

I think I like the shiny CF because it's so much different looking than the matte CF. Really, I think it all boils down to the fact that I like all the CF Spydies and eventually I'd like to have them all.

like fishing with an Ugly Stik vs. a G. Loomis? :rolleyes: :p
Not to be snobby but CF handles feel ultra "kewl" in the hand, with their lightweight, high sensitivity "feel" .... vs the "dead/spongy" feel of a G10 handled knife... :rolleyes:
I can't believe u've resisted the Kopa Candy all this time Felly! :eek: :)
here's a brief reminder...

LOL!! I guess without the pic's on this Forum there WOULD be a lot less spent on Spydies. :rolleyes: I know I've fallen prey to many a drool session since I've joined here and been inspired to buy more knives than I care to talk about simply from seeing some nice pic's of them. I guess it could be worse, I could get hooked on Rolex's!!Harry White wrote:i hate you felly! :) actually i just envy your collection. every time i see one of your new pics, i get the itch to spend more money on spydies...
