Folders with Carbon fibre Handles?

I think the carbon fiber scales are nice. But they are expensive. What is the attraction of carbon fiber scales? Explain it to me.... just something different?

Yes, they are a laminate and not "gen-u-wine" carbon fiber.
The one's from Tawain use G10 and a very, very thin layler of CF on the outside.

I have a Sage 1 and like it a lot, but its not solid carbon fiber.

Since you're from Sweden I thought I should mention something from your Finish neighbor, the Enzo Birk 75 with a scandi grind.

Thanks ToR. The 560 scale is lightning strike carbon fiber and was done by forum member Barry H.
The Grip is Benchmade's gold class carbon fiber scales.
