Do you love carbon fiber?

Then you'll love these! Though maybe $150 is a little much!

CHOPSTICKS

I used to love carbon fibre until I started working with it but now I know it produces the finest and most irritating dust of all time if you cut or sand a cured laminate.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRGGH! Make the skin irritation stoooooppp!

P.S. $150 for carbon chopsicks, they must be off their collective chumps

gotta love how pointless they are, smooth chopsticks are nigh impossible to use.

Not working with Carbon Fibre, there used to be a bit of high tech mystery with it. Now it's everywhere it's getting a bit Chavvy like Burberry! - Carbon Fibre winglets on your diesel kid taxi to make it go faster etc

people just think 'carbon fibre' is 'carbon fibre'. The wet lay-up stuff that we all know and love is often no better than a good bit of GRP. Its the pre-preg autoclave stuff that is where the real engineering and money goes. And because THAT sort of carbon is so expensive (for good reason) then people tend to just say ANY carbon fibre is expensive.... because it just is. Thats why people can (and do) charge stupid figures for crap like this. And the chumps pay it.
