I know that my Protech Malibu, with a porous type of aluminum that seems to be hard anodized like a firearm or AR-15 lower, is still grippy when wet.

And Charlie Fox Charlie Fox : You guys just got me curious about this as I have 2 protech knives and they just happen to be the CQC-7 and a Malibu. Mine seem to have a little bit different texture. I know what you mean Doc by the Malibu having a chalky feeling which does give pretty good grip, however my CQC-7 doesn't really have that same feel to it. Maybe it's that they were blasted with a different media before being anodized, something like the difference between a sand blasted Sebenza and a glass blasted Sebenza. Or maybe they used a slightly different anodizing process. Not sure, but they do have a little different feel. That said, I've never really cut much in the rain or what not with the CQC, so I don't know if it'd be slick when real wet. It does have some nice feeling, yet pretty aggressive jimping, that feels like it'd hold your hand in place pretty well.
