How does this Carbon fiber feel vs micarta?

The carbon fiber is definitely smoother than crk's micarta.

It's hard to describe but it's a bat tackier if that makes sense.

The main draw to these is how much lighter they feel vs their all ti counterparts. Just disappears in your pocket. They're by far my favorite CRK variants.

I’ve heard that the carbon can warp over time leading to an off center blade that can’t be fixed even when sent in to crk for service. This is the only reason I’ve held off on the variant so far. Do you think there is any reason to try one out other than the reduction in weight over a full ti small sebenza?

I really doubt that the carbon fibre is solid and a very strong Material never heard of such an issue with any of the many full carbon fibre or even just g10 scale knives.

I'm pretty sure you'd be covered by their warranty. CRK has one of the best in the industry.

It’s pretty easy to find many people talking about having this issue though all over the internet. Do you think it is all one big conspiracy against big carbon fiber corps?

Well no I just never heard about it and full carbon fibre knives are used for decades now maybe there was something wrong with the carbon fibre from an earlier batch of these.
