Any ideas on how to make the wood scales more "grippy"? (short of a dremel tool...:p)

Thanks!
 
some time ago i sent around for field testing a buck 110 with alpha hunter grips as scales.. every ont that tryed them loved them great grip like it was griping your hand!

this knife along with a print out of the praise it gathered was sent to buck's marketing projects and leagel teams...
as this had been a while i contacted Joe today and
he said " it is still in the works "

so no team ruled it out right away!!!
that says to me that it has a real chance of becomeing an issue knife!!
of course it would not hurt to have some of you knife lovers contact joe and give him a vote that you would like to have one!!!

years ago i did some checkering on a 110 and it helped some...
 
Hi edison!
I presume a new purchase is not in order so: skate board tape, light dimpling with a center punch, use a small brush to apply some of the dip-type rubberized coating? Perhaps the best alternative is to try the finger-gooved model? 334Dave's rubber Bucky is a very good approach but may be some time off so a standard finger-grooved model is not that expensive to try. If you did want the ultimate 110 and grip-ablility, investigate the many options to choose from with a Custom Design Custom Shop 110! Stag, elk, grooved buffalo horn in addition to the finger grooves will keep that puppy in your paw all right!

Edison, just curious as to what you are doing with a 110 that you need more "grippy" ?

I have been using a 110 for my deer field dressing and some processing for the freezer since the mid 70's and haven't really had a problem with slip or grip.

I guess a slimehead catfish might cause a problem....

anywho...just curious.
