Carbon Fiber Stickers are only avaiable in the twill-weave pattern, not plain [nt]

Says (nt), yet it has 41 views as of the time I'm writing this.
Then what the subject actually says... I'm like... So what?
You're talking about a sticker here? Not carbon fiber? What are you expecting? Course or satin weave? By plain... are you just referring to a regular 1-over, 1-under pattern? I find it hard to believe you can't find a sticker that looks like that.
And what do you want it for? To cover up a hole in something actually made of carbon fiber?

Yeah, 1 over/1 under, or a checkerboard (like) pattern.
I did find these...

http://www.amazon.com/XXX-Main-Carbon-Fiber-Sticker/dp/B000X4L1TM/ref=pd_ybh_13
But I'm wanting something in either white or chrome (not exactly 'silver'). And every other sticker roll (any other color for instance) is in the freaking twill pattern. 
I'll probably just go with this to compromise.

I'm trying to make a replica of a sword (from a video game) that was designed by the same company/person (or whatever) that designed those knives.
http://nemotoknives.sakura.ne.jp/
More to see ^here.
------
Having found a 3D model of the High Frequency Blade, ripped from the game Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, I imported it to Blender, then imported/converted that file to something I could open up in Sketchup.
I needed to scale it to the correct size. Since the majority (from what I can see) Nemoto Knives makes most of their blades/knives in lengths measured in Millimeters, and at multiples of 10 (if not -then 5).
There is another replica of the sword in question, available on-line.... But, given that a good number of the aesthetic details don't quite match the in-game model - I'm prone to disregard the length that that particular model/replica goes by.
You've got to be kidding me!
Nope
48 inches?
38.75 inches
39 inches...
Low Poly indeed.
100 cm, or 39.3701 inches
So Damn close!  The difference are subtle, but not an EXACT replica.
In the end(?) I'm going to guess that, to SCALE, the blade is 990 mm (or, about 39 inches). But I could be wrong. 
etsy
If anyone else can come up with a different scale (e.g. Length) I'd appreciate to hear what you come up with, and your reasons why.

eta 3-15-19. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bujGPgFMsBo
In the first few seconds of this video...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtM3PGyiQUc
So, it must exist somewhere... Like a hidden page on the Nemotoknives website...?
ETA: Mind you, ^the knives posted here are shorter than the in-game sword.
Another detail; there are a set of 8 rivets on the in-game blade, as opposed to 6 sets of rivets.
The handle is longer in-game....

How I plan to make it....

I'm going to use a length of gray PVC pipe, heated and flattened.
I'm using 1/4" dowl rods to form the curve of the blade and handle. In other words; the channel the dowels will form will be what the heated/flattened PVC pipe will pressed into.
The handle section is thicker (obviously). I'll use other material for the apparent layers (this is where the Carbon Fiber sticker would come into play).
I have a model in Sketchup that I've refined from the 3D rip from the game. With this I can study the details...
What the 3D model doesn't show is where some of the rivets/hex head screws are located... But that should be easy enough to work out from watching cutscenes and getting screen captures.

I also wanted to share that Mr. Tomoyuki uses mostly G10 composite material for the knife handles/grips. Listed below are the properties of this material: 'G-10/FR-4 is a thermosetting industrial laminate consisting of a continuous filament glass cloth material with an epoxy resin binder. This product, first introduced in the 1950's, has characteristics of high strength, excellent electrical properties and chemical resistance. These properties are maintained not only at room temperature but also under humid or moist conditions. Today what is called G-10 is actually FR-4, the flame retardant version of G-10. The material FR-4 can usually be used where G-10 is specified, however G-10 should not be used where FR-4 is specified. Both G-10 and FR-4 are rated at 285 degree F continuous operating temperature. Because they are thermosets, no melting will occur with these grades, however charring will be observed after extended periods above the temperature rating. FR-4 has a flammability rating of 94 V-0. With these outstanding characteristics, it is easy to understand why G-10/FR-4 is such a versatile material and is used in a wide variety of applications. Properties: High dielectric strength, Radiation resistant, High tensile strength, Low cold flow or creep, Chemically resistant, High flexural strength, Dimensional stability, Low moisture absorption, Low dissipation factor, High impact strength, Cryogenic serviceability.'
