Howdy Folks and Spyderpeople! How can I attach some sort of material to the handles of my Police in order to make it more tacky in feel. I love the design, I just need a less slippery handle. Any ideas? I don't want to use skate tape because it will wear holes in my pockets. Thanks!

I think you can find grip tape that has more of a pebble texture as opposed to a sandpaper like texture. That would fit you needs perfectly. If you really wanted to get creative you could buy some jewlers files and file a decorative pattern around the handle perimeter, which would also add grip. Similar to a handgun with a steel frame that has the crosshatch filed into it for grip. Would look better than grip tape if done right too. You could probally do a search and find some pictures of people who have done this. Let us know what you decide to do, and good luck!

Stiple it with a dremel tool?
Or, how 'bout some of that 200 mph grip tape (haven't seen it for a long time, though -not 200mph tape, the grip version).

Have it sand blasted. Or bead blasted.
You might be able to work out something with rubber tool dip. I think it's called Plastidip in the hardware stores. Clings to metal right proper. You'd probably have to paint it on.

You can spread out some Goop on both the body of the folder and the knife. Let them stand for about 3 min. and then place the handle scale on the body of the folder. Do the same to the other side and then set some books on the knife overnight. Works everytime.
Just remember to take the clip off the knife and not to get any of the goop down in the holes. You might also plainly mark where to drill them on the scales so you can re connect the clip later.

I used a spring-punch and stipled the scales of my Harpy. Created lots of divots which collectively give a rough surface to the steel. You just need to use care around the pivot pin. Peening this pin will cause a very slow/tight opening process for the blade.
