Gang, just how sharp are these non metallic knives/weapons one see like the G10 La Griffe etc? Can they in fact be sharpened to any measurable degree? Which is the most easily sharpened?
Thanks,
Dave

Knives from G10, carbon fiber, kydex etc.

There's a good reason that many composite material knives use a metal layer and that's because there are limits to just how "sharp" you can make any purely composite edge that are far below that of the steel/titanium/cobalt alloy edge.
They're good lightweight stealth carry defensive knives with the express limitation of not being good slashers if all they have is an edge of carbon fiber/G-10/micarta. Add a thin metal edge supported by the composite body and they become better defensive tools. Are they a substitute in a utility role? They're pretty limited and not their intended purpose.

My understanding is that those knives are a "last ditch" type of weapon, designed to be used once.
