Stainless Delica 4 gets some grip

#1

Post by Jazz »

I decided my D4 SS needed some grip so that I'll accually use it, so here it is. I used a Dremel with diamond bits, various sandpaper grits, and some polish (in case anyone cares)...

It accually feels quite nice in various grips now. I didn't go all fancy on purpose - I plan to use it, and mainly was going for some grip. There are a couple scratches on it, but I'm sure it'll aquire more. Anyway, thanks for lookin'.

- best wishes, Jazz.

1. I like how there is a border around the texturing.
2. I like the added jimping.
3. Heck, I like the whole knife! Looks great!

Looks great! I don't usually like SS, but I'd consider buying one of those if it came that way.

that looks great jazz!
the one reason i never liked the stainless versions was because they felt so slippery.
problem solved.
the jimping looks very functional too!
later,

Very nice work. The big jimping on the handle is interesting, looks like
it will really lock in the grip.

It's **** Superb! Beauty and function. Great Job

I have always stayed away from using most of my SS scaled Spydies because if you just look at the wrong way they scratch and get ugly quick.

I hope Sal sees this and brings it to life in a production model. He can do what he did with the etched Cricket or Spin and then ad the jimping...

very impressive! That is the reason I avoided purchasing a SS, if they offered that, I would definitely be more inclined to purchase one. Great job

Looks great! How long did this take? I am definitely thinking about doing a similar treatment to a SS-handled knife in the future..

This treatment would look great on a Lava, in my opinion.

Very nice! I like the bordering and it addresses many issues I have with stainless steel handles.
