I don't believe they have.
It would be nice though, and add an axis lock while we are at it.

I was just looking at my TSEK (same handle as the AFCK) and it doesnt look like it would be hard to put on a CF handle, there is no taping of the g10, all you would have to do is cut out the shape using the old handle as the stencil and then drill the holes, i am considering trying to make a blue g10 handle for my tsek

Someone could probably do very well for themselves making aftermarket scales for popular knives and just shipping the scales out for user replacement. I'm not sure whether or not I'd buy them, but I know a lot of people would jump on it.

I don't know if they still do it; but at one time Northwest Cutlery sold CF handles for the (damn; can't remember the model #) Elischiewetz (don't spell well either) with the blue Ti liners. If there was enough demand they might do this for other models?? Something to check into I guess.

Still in it's rough stages but I figured I would let you take a peek at it so far.

Lizardking, the holes in the handle are tapped and need to be tapped on the new handle as well.

folderVSfixed it looks great! i am impressed!
the carbon fiber had to be tapped? when i looked at it i thgought that the G10 just had a counter sink and that the back spacer and the linners had all the tapping, but i havent taken mine apart, how hard was it?

Yep, the face side is countersunk, but on the clip side as you can see (barely) from the picture that the liner holes are to big for the screws to be attached. Now if you notice the clipside handle grip you will see that the holes are the ones the screws attach to.
