Jordan Lenz of Jurassic Knife Works

Jordan Lenz knows his materials. He turns to GripX™ regularly for his signature segmented builds because it stands out from traditional options and makes the entire process more enjoyable.

“I choose to use GripX™ often as it’s a good scale to use for my segmented builds and offers a different distinction over traditional materials. Also having material show up that is flat, ready to work and does not need a ton of prep work is awesome.”

Jordan appreciates how easy GripX™ is to work with. It does not tear up sanding belts and machines cleanly. His typical process is straightforward: shaping and texturing at 120 grit, moving up to 400 grit, then buffing with white compound to bring out a nice sheen. He deliberately stops at 400 grit to preserve the aggressive gripping capability that GripX™ is built for. The result is clean, high contrast segmented handles that look outstanding and feel locked in during real use. Minimal prep, simple finishing, and outstanding wet or dry traction. Exactly what busy makers need.

Excellent work, Jordan. Thanks for pushing creative segmented designs with GripX™.
