How hard would it be to make a handle like the C42 Howard Viele or C83 Schempp Persian using Carbon fiber with Titanium bolsters?

I think costs (and thus sales) would be the major problem, but it's a great idea!

Carbon fiber is expensive and a dust hazzard to finish. Titanium when ground yields a very hot spark which likes to start fires, and the material grinds away slowly.
