Carbon fiber supplier for USA handmade knife makers

 Sierra Composites has been the leading supplier of carbon fiber sheets as well as silver texalium sheets and laminates to USA handmade knife makers for many years. We supply thin carbon fiber sheet material for use as handle scale inlays, and we supply thicker laminates for handle scales that can be profiled. The handle scales are particularly important since the carbon fiber layup has to be in the correct orientation in order to have the correct look once the handle is profiled down.  Since our silver sheets have the same great high gloss tough surface, our silver texalium sheet looks just ...

Fake Graphite Texalium Sheet (not carbon fiber)

Recently a B2B customer had sent us a sample of another fake carbon fiber type product. This time it is a fake Graphite Texalium sheet, often confused with carbon fiber sheet. Texalium is a high end raw fabric  fiberglass product made by Hexcel. Texalium is a high grade fiberglass that undergoes a process that applies a 200 Angstroms thin coating of aluminum, thus giving it the woven metal appearance. The aluminum base color can then be tinted by Hexcel to produce other colors such as the graphite steel color. It is used only as a top decorative layer on its own, ...

Carbon fiber signs at indoor karting and restaurant facility

 A couple years ago Sierra Composites teamed up with a design studio in Chicago to fabricate some custom carbon fiber sheets for one of their clients. Those carbon fiber sheet laminates were used around the facility as signage. They were made from our .059" carbon fiber sheet and mounted to the walls with standoffs so they "floated" off the wall. We have had this photo for quite a while and forgot about it. Its a great photo showing how Sierra Composites carbon fiber products are used in may applications. The restaurant is Stewart's Bar and Grille located in the Chicago ...

Corvette Z06 carbon fiber sheet fuel door

One of our great customers just sent us a few photos of Sierra Composites .015" thin carbon fiber sheet veneer. The carbon fiber sheet with 3M adhesive backing was used as a veneer layer over the stock Corvette Z06 fuel door.

This project was simple and inexpensive to complete but makes a nice upgrade to the Corvette Z06. Sierra Composites manufactures the absoulute best carbon fiber on the market and has been for many years, that is why this Corvette ...

Sierra Composites NEW 2inch carbon fiber angle

Best carbon fiber sheets at best prices

In the past year or so a couple other businesses jumped into the carbon fiber sheet market, lets call them DP, MV and PC , unfortunately they also have attempted to copy some of our products, the way we sell them and even use some of our terminology.
