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. grin

Yeah, I know. I meant that I'm still using the same Easton aluminum arrows that I bought years ago. I got several dozen custom-made from an archery shop. I have not tried carbon fiber arrows.

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