    Someone here mentioned Get a Grip or something long ago, sounds like similar stuff, I think Tennis is what it was for too.

    I see this stuff comes in blue and green too. Now if they made it in pink, they'd have a hot seller on their hands. I could have some fun with that.

    I bet that stuff would work really good, especially for folks that need a little more hand filling.

      Well, I still need some kind of thin textured cloth tape or something to wrap the plastic handle on my Cold Steel Roach Belly knife. It is too slick. Anybody have an idea?

      Very interesting...

        how aboyt some rough sandpaper to texture it or wrap it in paracord. You could have someone actually texture the handle but it would be $$

          Jfootin:

          That looks like the perfect place to develop your stippling skills and personalize that knife.

          That way when you loose it (I loose all knives that cost $100+) you'll know who found it when they use it.

            Thanks, guys! I'll have to look up some instructions on doing stippling. The knife just cost me $15.xx shipped, so cheap enough to experiment with. If I get good at it, I can do my CM9!

            I put out a feeler about Bawanna making a grip for it, but he didn't bite. :40:

                Well, it was $10.xx + shipping for that or $150 I don't have for something American made. Now, when I win the lottery....

                  Man, that's a huge price difference. Are you able to assess differences in quality between a Taiwanese version an an American one?

                  Is this for SD carry?

                  You can tell I am not a knife guy. They are generally illegal in Michigan once they are over 2 inches.

                    I bet Bawanna could checker it, prolly cost more than the knife though.

                          Illegal in Michigan!?! That's too bad.

                            I know very little about SD knives. Didn't know these were made in Taiwan until I got it. It was very cheap and I liked the shape. Turns out to be very high quality SS and sharp as a razor blade (ouch! ) I just threw that $150 figure out there. There are knives at every price imaginable.

                                They start around 160 and go up from there based on handle material, liners, and pins. Not cheap. Mine is desert ironwood. It's a nice little knife that is legal in most states being that the blade is under 3". Here's the dealer:
