Knifemaking Tuesdays Week 87 - textured carbon fiber inlays Media

Up until now all of the inlays on my knives have been smooth, but I've always wanted to try adding a texture to them. It's a winner! This is a herringbone aka chevron pattern, super simple to design and machine since it's just zig zags. The carbon fiber material looks great with the new pattern too, it reflects all the fibers from many different angles producing more depth and appeal.
