Anyone customized their Busse or Scrapyard knife with a carbon fiber handle or with scales? I really like the stuff and tend to want to buy edc blades s, especially, with it. Anyone else have this problem?

Not that I know of... I don't know if you have worked with carbonfiber before, but if you haven't, make sure you make the proper precautions! Most I know, who work with carbonfiber, recommends full protection gear:
Proffessional breathing mask Gloves Bodysuit Goggles
In short: Don't get in direct contact with thr carbon fiber particles! The particles can travel through the skin, and are harmful to your health.
Carbonfiber does look though!!

Yes, I know the required precautions. Thank you for stating them anyway. It should make someone a nice little side business setting up and making cf scales for busse and swamp rat amd handles for scrapyard blades.

I just meant that carbon fiber should be used for arrows, not knife handles.

I have some Easton aluminum arrows that are over 20 years old.  Still good!

Carbon Fiber splinters in a bad way. It might look good but if it broke it would be ugly.
