Slippery Scales ?

[NORTHCAMP]

Recently I purchased a BRK Bushcrafter with antique white micarta scales. The handle is very slick and slippery... What can I do to improve the grip without damaging the handle or it's appearance?

Bead / sand / media blast them!

There has to be a change ! My highly polished BRK I considered too slippery for safety [working knife] I tried a few things and finally used a fine gunsmith's checkering file .But it certainly changes the looks . Shine - slippery , dull grippy !

It all makes sense! Thank You. Next time I must look, and touch before mail order purchase...
