I'm thinking about putting a little non-slip tape on the sides of a Spyderco Delica II. I have some 3M stair tread tape, but it feels more like sandpaper. I would like to use something with a rubbery texture instead of sandpaper-like. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
 
Check around your area...ACE usually carries an adhesive backed grip tape like your looking for, I remember getting some at Home Depot, and an Orchard Supply, usually in either 1 inch or 4 inch widths...unfortunately, I've only seen it in a grey color. I used to back my aluminum clipboards with it, so they wouldn't ding stuff, or slide around...good luck, I used the standard (sandpaper) grip tape on my paragon auto, and it works great (but it doesn't have a pocket clip, so is carried in a sheath). You can even get artsy with the design for your grip.

Thanks - I'll look around. The 3M tape I have, I use on some handgun grips. It's more "sandpapery" than I would like for something to keep inside my pocket. Maybe Ace has some other options.

PM me and I'll mail you some.
 
If you're not paying member, you cannot PM.

The 3M can be used. I suggest put it on, then rub off some metal on it, it gets less coarse. The one on my Enlan EL02 has worn out smooth, yet grippy ;).
