CF cloth is made to be embedded in resin, so that's what it's designed for. If you try to use it "dry", you have to have good scissors to cut it well. If you use it embedded in resin, then you need tools that will cut that kind of plastic PLUS the rather cut resistant fibers as well. The CF blanks were maybe 10+ layers at least and embedded in hard resin, so they were a real bitch to work with and needed extra hardened tools to do it.But you can do the project you want reasonably easily IF you just use good scissors and work with the material before resination, I suppose. Don't worry, it's not a project you will screw up unalterably in any case.
I don't doubt that Oyaide deserves what it can get for their R&D and special machining of low volume pieces. However, I don't have that kind of money to spend, and I can DIY, so I get double the enjoyment for 10% or less of the price. But that's my story, not necessarily yours...
