Thanks, I recommend jumping the ring. It gives you that little extra grip for your pinky.

thanks for the tip I would have never thought of that

Nice job!

Hi everyone. I just wanted to show what I have done to my Eskabar.

Here it is at work yesterday. I added the jimping along the spine a few weeks ago.

Hi, well done! How did you do the jimpings? I tried with a file but they do not look so perfect as yours.

Verrry nice work Jukrui. The knife looks badass now.

Excellent work! As others have said, the jimping turned out great. I've got a pretty crappy jimp job on my 14 and 13 that I did with a dremel.

Losvedese, I would recommend stripping the coating. My jimping looked much better after that. Then really smooth out the file work with some rolled up sandpaper. Good luck.

For the moment I won't strip the coating because I like it; I'm looking for a rounded file to finish the job and give it a better look, then I'll use the sandpaper as you suggested.
Thanks for your suggestions.
