Bad idea.

Carbon fiber is a poor choice for this application. Look at how thin the web is on the sides of the ring. You don't want a device like this collapsing under impact and guillotining your finger. Steel or Ti, now we're talkin'. CF, fuggedaboudit. You'd also start tearing chunks out of it the first time you opened a bottle with it, and that's going to eventually lead to CF splinters, which are unpleasant.

CF and G10 will also blow out and de-laminate when waterjet cut unless the machine is equipped with a pilot hole attachment.
