The Brous Blades Carbon Fiber Money-Clip is made from 100% REAL Carbon Fiber, this is not a laminate or plastic that looks like carbon fiber, its 100% legitimate Carbon Fiber. These are very difficult to make but they will last forever, the spring is super strong and will keep its hold. I was able to fit 15 credit cards in the clip, I then left it for a week straight to check the spring and wow it was like it was brand new. We are proud to bring this clip to our line of Brous products.
