Best way to make grips thicker

[samuel5090]

I have a Micarta handled knife and I need to thicken the grip a bit.
I don't want to spend the bucks to have new grips installed. Is there a wrap that will work?
Thanks

If it's a flat tang knife with scales and you can remove the scales by removing bolts or screws, you could put a few layers of spacers under the scales and leave the knife "purty lookin"

There are lots of possibilities for wraps that could work, but some may look more "ghetto" than others. Here's a few to get you started.

Tennis racket grip tape

Big heat shrink tube, comes in black and colors

3M 130C electrical tape or a similar self fusing rubber tape like "Rescue Tape"

Airgrip cold-shrink handle wrap from Stilleto tools

a layer of whipped twine, saturated with resin or not as desired

ductape and paracord will also work great.

Love the twine idea Mahoney
