As he puts it, a lot of makers believe the soul of the knife is in the bevel, and that is where his blood, sweat, and tears go. Building one means assembling and disassembling the same knife something like a hundred times before it ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTitanium and Fat Carbon\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame is titanium with purple Fat Carbon inlays, a carbon composite that reads in a marbled pattern under light.
