The handle material is carbon fiber. The photo dosent show it but this is a mortised handle knife. The two slabs of carbon fiber are milled out the width of the tang(1/2") and half the thickness(.050"), the tang goes all the way through the handle and could be seen at the but of the handle but the photo dosent show it. The two handle halves are held in place by 0-80 screws that are .100" long. The 410 stainless guard is pressed on.

Very nice I like it. That sounds like a different way of doing it I'm new to that, is there a any advantage of doing it that way or purely style?

I've seen plenty of knives with mortised tang handles. I don't know why others do this but I did it to keep the weight of the knife down and to keep it thin but to also keep it strong. The tang is 1/2" wide and .100" thick and goes all the way through the handle,this is the only mortised tang knife that I have seen where the tang goes all the way through the handle. I designd this knife as a law enforcement back up knife. It is to be carried in the sheath that is tie wrapped to a pistol belt,hidden behind an ammo pouch. That is why it is less than 6" long and thin and light yet strong.
Here some more photos of another LEBUK that show the tang and grind better.
