I love the look of carbon fiber

wouldn’t it be a little fragile?

how do you keep an edge on something like that

That is the definition of "backup". It only needs to be sharp once. If it gets used, you wont be getting it back so it doesnt need to keep an edge.

Expensive?

Pretty sure he made it...so its more like a classy prison shank that will get through metal detectors.

It would be a great boot knife but too pretty to hide I’d want to show it to everybody. That would defeat the purpose for sure.

That CF knife was a prototype. I’m working on a newer design, based off the popular SOC-P style perforator blades.

This knife is VERY sturdy. It’s made from the same material I make my ballistic armor from. The “edge” isn’t any sharper than it needs to be to do its job. But due to material, if you really wanted to, you could hone the blade to a near razor edge. The carbon and resin make a glass-like edge. Almost like a carbon Damascus

if survival is down to using this item, you have run out of options... but your last option is a good one.

An ESEE Candiru, just a tiny little thing. I etched and blued the logos, stripped the coating, put a decent edge on the spine for fire starting, and etched my youngest Grandsons initials on it, it's a gift for his first birthday.

your grandson will really enjoy this knife when he is older. my grandfather etched my initials in an old marbles skinner, i've used it my whole hunting life and i think of him whenever i get it out.
