Black Badger Advanced Composites http://www.blackbadger.se/main Official homepage of BBAC by James Thompson Mon, 14 Nov 2011 18:54:15 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 en KolFlicka carbon fiber bracelet http://www.blackbadger.se/main/kolflicka-carbon-fiber-bracelet/ http://www.blackbadger.se/main/kolflicka-carbon-fiber-bracelet/#comments Mon, 14 Nov 2011 18:50:36 +0000 James Thompson http://www.blackbadger.se/main/?p=31 New from Black Badger Advanced Composites: KolFlicka carbon fiber bracelet

KolFlicka

The KolFlicka bracelet is milled from 100% solid carbon fiber composite, with an accent layer of pink G10 aramid composite. Both materials are aerospace quality and damn near indestructible. It weighs 80 grams, which is surprisingly light for something you could beat a moose to death with.

Similar to my successful Sidecut carbon rings, KolFlicka is milled from solid billet carbon fiber. This method highlights a gorgeous cross-section that is far, far different from the traditional glossy ‘checkerboard pattern’ associated with carbon fiber products.

KolFlicka loosely translates to ‘carbon girl’ in Swedish, and I guess you would say it’s an attempt to make things more female in nature.

The bracelet may be viewed here:

KolFlicka is $1000usd

This is the Norrsken ring, Norrsken is the Swedish word for the nothern lights / aurora borealis.

Norrsken is milled from Glacier White DuPont Corian, and fused with a layer of photoluminescent polycarbonate. It gathers ambient light and gives off a striking green glow that lasts for hours. A few seconds of direct sunlight is all that is needed to get it charged, and as soon as you move into the shadows…

The Norrsken ring is $250usd and is available direct from myself at james@blackbadger.se

These are inspired by the technology and grace of the Tron universe. Naturally these are simply inspired by the films, and are in no way connected to Disney or anything like that. There, that being said, here’s the Tron-inspired rings

The Yanko design review can be found here:

These rings are similar to my popular Sidecut series of milled carbon fiber rings. Made from 100% solid carbon fiber plate, these rings highlight the cross-section of the carbon, giving a fantastic woodgrain effect that changes in the light. Three colors are available: white, orange or blue

This Tron-inspired series has been fused with either DuPont Corian ™ or G10 aramid composite to give a zap of color that is sure to turn heads as you park your lightcycle outside Starbucks.

This series sells for $300usd each, and each ring is made to order. These are handmade!

Email me at james@blackbadger.se for ordering information. (Worldwide shipping is included in the price)
