I read on some forum a while back a debate on jimping. The argument was jimping isn't really needed, especially "gnarly" jimping. Reason being, if you are using a knife in such a way that jimping is needed, it probably needs to be slight or none at all, as rough jimping will blister the thumb and be counterproductive.... or something like that. Anyway, I hope you can see this. I use a chainsaw file and do an alternating pattern that is functional IMO as well as decorative, without getting all crazy with vine patterns etc. __________________ Find me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gpopecustomknives/ Gloria In Excelsis Deo!! |

I've done a fair amount of vine file work. It's pretty but I don't find it particularly beneficial where grip is concerned...
