"Carl's Lounge" (Off-Topic Discussion, Traditional Knife "Tales & Vignettes")

I did something clever by my standards a couple of hours ago.
This knife is nice and pinchable, but strongly sprung and slippery. Since it's already been broken and reshaped, I saw no harm in roughening the pinching surfaces so my fingers don't slip on them.

I'm glad I didn't try my fancier ideas. You can see I had enough trouble with my roughest dremel sanding drum.
If I were still a drinking man, I'd go back and try to roughen the rest of the flats without grinding into the handle.
Duh! I can do that with some rough sandpaper on a block!
I might get to that someday, but there's no rush, since I can't do much damage that way.

Whatever makes using your knife better!!!
