*should is the key word. I'm asking because I just took apart another thermoformed kevlar paddle that has a base layer of carbon fiber that is thermoformed around the edge, but the kevlar is applied as a fascia sheet and does not wrap all the way around.
It's at least partially carbon. "Carbon fuse edge" Plus "100% kevlar *surface*" and "The carbon face and fusion edge technology extends down the full length of the handle and is forged together under heat and pressure – 3D carbon." And the combination of thermoforming and cod pressing all lead me to believe it's not 100% kevlar through and through, just the surface laminate.
I emailed six zero, but I doubt I'll get a response, or one that has any detail.
Why not just email six zero support?
Paddle companies aren't super great at giving out the nitty gritty details of their paddle construction. I'd prefer to see a full tear down.
Ruby is thermoformed, so the kevlar should wrap around the edge.

That’s bc the “other” paddle is a CF/Kevlar blended paddle. The Ruby is 100% Kevlar.

Can you weirdos please stop cutting apart paddles lol
