The Stippler

[Bushman5]

broke out the dremel and a stippler bit and put a mild stipple job on my BK2

That looks pretty good, is it grippier? With the dremel it looks a little more smoother than the stiple on the soddering iron jobs. In any case I think it looks alot better than plain handles.

very grippy but still smoooooth.

man, you guys have done a great job with your grips. I slipped a bit of inner tube rubber on mine and like that quite a bit, but I'm impressed by the stippling.

Nice job bushie!
how long did it take you and do you think that method is better than the recent soldier iron stipple thread.

 

[Bushman5]

took about 10 minutes.

I have not handled a Becker knife done with the soldering tip method, so i cannot comment!

I will say this though,,,,,,,,a light touch is required....or The Stippler will gouge away a LOT of material fast.

BTW, that dremel bit works great for wood shaping and texturing too, and on Micarta and G10 (WEAR A RESPIRATOR THOUGH!)

more pics, did the whole slab, next stage is some file work on the knife and tan/OD tiger stripe DuraCoat over the whole thing.

That's looking really good, Bushy.

to test the stipple grip, i dipped my hand in mineral oil and gripped the knife, thrusting and jabbing it into a wood board. No slip.

next up today or tommorow is my KB-BK9........I will be doing a worm pattern grip.

stay tuned

I detect a true master of the greased up hammerfist in the second to last pic!!!!!!

Try it with some KY, but i'm sure it would pass the test, great job!
