Hi Everybody,

Well I have been playing around with a couple of my plastic framed guns, that need a bit more grip when handling them and have been doing the stippling that everyone is doing.

I had even figured out how to draw with my stipple tool (more on that later).

So I looked over at a Res C handle 311 and thought hmm maybe it will work on this too.

The handle are pretty grippy already but maybe this could add to the purchase on places you would want it.

I did not do the whole handle because I wanted it to be interesting looking.

what do you all think ? it should work on any rubber handled knife.

I am expecting some bees to come crawling out of those holes.

Looks like it would help with grip, anyway. How does it feel? Tried it wet? Easy to clean out stuff that gets stuck in the holes?

I also have to say, I've been enjoying your posts where you show off some craft and work. Always cool to see something new, innovative, or artistic.
 
That is COOL Dave and I would say it adds a lot of traction!!!You keep it up and you'll be having additional work coming your way. I'm telling ya Bro that's nice...
 
Nice. Where did you get that sheath?

BTW Email sent regarding your awesome sale

You really don't keep that imagination of yours boxed up, do you, David. Looks cool!
 
For me Res C is a pretty good grip as is ... but I like the idea for harder plastic on knives used for food prep ... things like filleting knives ... :thumbup:

But that is a mighty fine stipple Dave! Nice & uniform, even has a purdy pattern! So you're sayin' this is your first attempt?!
