That is an awesome collection of rope handles!
As for both snakeskin & ropecut CNC pattern... as customers it's really difficult to know when "can't" is being intentionally used in place of "won't" or "just don't want to". Same thing with the original basic handle mold that got destroyed. Either way, it doesn't matter much if they are not available, they aren't available.
Speaking of handle patterns: I do appreciate the fact that the fusion handle pattern was tweaked to lower the sharp points of the textures down several thousandths to a smoother rounded hump ever since the NMFSH came out. Then with O2W an entirely new Fusion handle pattern appeared on the WTF & FSH. The original fusions could be a little rough on the hands, but the newer two designs are perfect right out of the box. I also appreciate that over 30 something new machined handle patterns have come out in the past five years, some with designs much more complex than the old diagonal groove rope cut pattern. The pebbled golf ball ASHBM and brick SOB just the first two to come to mind! Oh, and my favorite... the TTKZ pattern, we need more of those!!! How about an INFI HWS with the TTKZ handle!
