CF carbon fiber lever

[Kent Swafford]

The carbon fiber shaft is about the same stiffness as titanium, but is  
lighter.

The head is cool. Note that the production head is smaller diameter  
than that of the prototype in the picture I sent. The advantage of the  
head is that its tubular configuration provides a stiffer coupling of  
handle to tip. Actually, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Charles were  
to consider adapting the aluminum head for his titanium levers as well.

(My first Faulk titanium lever had an ebony handle that was beautiful,  
but alas, it split out and had to be replaced.)
