So, is the carbon fiber fully carbon fiber or is it a thin laminate of carbon fiber glued to g10? I ask because Spyderco does this frequently even on fairly expensive knives.

Notsurewhyibotherit is a solid piece of carbon fiber. it is not a veneer. That being said, it's also a pretty small amount of carbon fiber--half a handle on only one side. the carbon fiber and titanium bolster on the presentation side of the knife are attached to a thin titanium liner. The other side is just a flat piece of titanium with chamfered edges and the lock bar cut out. Since the presentation side is 3D machined while the lock side is flat, the presentation side is a little bit thicker than the lock side. I have this knife in hand at this moment. It's weirdly shaped, asymmetrical in appearance and construction and there are more hot spots on the handle compared to paramilitary or military, but while this may seem negative, I do like this odd knife.
