So , what do you think about this ??? I think that I already see something like this , but I m not sure ........First one / SIC / was done just not to forget the idea.I used leftover/not enough/ epoxy so it didn't come great .Then i do this ...........coated the entire handle with epoxy and then very fine aluminium oxide ..............NOW that is grip , i like it .I've been using this knife for a few days when I need it. In the beginning there was a drop of grains ... but now it stopped and i think that finish would last long time ...What do you think ?
Silicon carbide is little on coarse side on this one .I will try other one with fine SIC

I use horse stall mat. It makes a great non-slip handle. Many knife suppliers sell it in blocks or small sheets. An equestrian stable probably will give you some.

I don't know if I would want a handle made from abrasives :eek:

I don’t mean to derail the thread, but will truck mud flaps work well as a knife handle?

Sometimes I have a creeping feeling you're an excellent knife maker who likes to get a bunch of americans are riled up when you are bored. You're amazingly good at it.

I love the ebony by the way, looks like diospyros celebicia
 
If you can make a grinder, you can make a glove with grip for him:D

Well , my problem with my american friends is that what I think is nice conversation they think it is confrontation .................and they start jumping on me from all sides :D
 
Ultrex Suretouch is something I wouldn't mind trying it looks like it would make a good non-stick handle. I think this has been post in this forum previously, has anyone had a chance to try it yet?Screen Shot 2021-03-01 at 11.33.43 PM.jpeg

Sheath ? You worry about that piece of leather ?? Come on my friend , who cares about that ? In middle of nowhere you care about YOU ! BTW , we take the knife out of sheath when we really need it , not to play in front of screen and making funny video how impressed we are with our new knife !
How will last sheath .........:eek:
