The Creditor Carbon Fiber Money Clip Knife by John Kubasek is exactly what it sounds like, and is as sharp as it looks. The level of ingenuity behind its size and disguise is matched only by its sex appeal, deriving from the use of carbon fiber.

The blade is a laminate of real carbon fiber and D2 tool steel, with a Rockwell harness of 59-60.  The handle is made out of 6AL4V titanium with a small piece of carbon fiber in the corner, while the clip is black stainless steel.  The use of carbon fiber and titanium make this weigh just 40 grams or less than 2 ounces.

If you are a true gun fanatic then you most likely love attention to detail and can appreciate the time and effort it takes to create a beautiful gun which involves fine craftsmanship to get a complete product. If you happen to be one of those people that are very picky about the small details then you will love the work of Alexander Perfiliev of Russia who has been creating miniature gun replicas for over 30 years now.

It’s not until you have a closer look at the work when you realize that Alexander is serious about his creations. For example, the Mosin Rifle (pictured below) is a complicated weapon and it took him one year to get it right. He didn’t have access to fancy equipment or even a power drill. He started off by only using a primitive hand brace back in 1970.
