Tip - Double stick tape

[Kit Carson]

Don't know how I could make it without this stuff. The best brand I've found is from Ace Hardware and it's a fiberglass carpet tape.
I surface grind natural and synthetic handle material using it to secure the stuff to a steel plate.
You can use it to secure temporary handles on while you sand or grind them.
Many other uses in a knifemaker's shop.

yes carpet tape...make sure it hasnt been sitting in your drawer for two years or you might have some big suprises.

Praise be, double-sided tape. I'd rather have a roll of this stuff than an extra set of hands and a whole bushel of C-clamps. Before I found this stuff I couldn't line anything up straight
