Jacob Street is a maker who puts his money where his mouth is. The only two knives he has fully finished for his own personal use both feature GripX™ handles. His Shrike model wears Limitless Edition Crimson Veil GripX™ with red glow liners. He liked it so much he made three identical ones for himself and his brothers.
His signature Flyway model is dressed in striking white and yellow bicolor GripX™ that is already developing a nice patina on the yellow. He also sent along another Shrike and an Osprey, both rocking bicolor GripX™ combinations that he loves.
Jacob finishes GripX™ the same way he finishes G10: 120 grit ceramic belt for shaping, followed by medium and fine surface conditioning belts. On the red Shrike he went all the way to ultra fine before a final coat of our Formula C hardening wax.
“The grip is incredible. I used my Flyway in the garden recently and even though it was soaking wet, there were no issues.”
Jacob plans to keep GripX™ as a regular handle option going forward and is already grabbing Old Glory GripX™ for his upcoming 4th of July drop.
Excellent work, Jacob. Thank you for the kind words and for trusting GripX™ on your personal blades.
