Utica Pigman shank handle mod

[deltablade]

The handle on this knife is a smooth delrin material, which may have too little grip when wet. What would be a good way to improve the grip, sanding? or maybe a cord wrap?

Grip tape?

Would totally rob the knife of some eye-pleasing value though.

you could use a thin round file to carve some shallow channels into the delrin around the circumference of the handle, spaced 1/2" apart. Or use a dremel to "jig" the delrin like bone.

It looks as though those scales are attached with screws. If they are removable, why not make another set in micarta?

 

[A.L.]

Not sure exactly what worries you.. I mean, the knife has double guard after all.

Tennis racket wrap.

Rustoleum rubber protective Coating spray or dip.

Textured vinyl/laminate wrap or strips.

Drill small holes. Add rivets/buttons.
