This week’s featured knife maker is Maker Spotlight May , showcasing custom builds using GripX composite knife handle material. Makers across the industry trust GripX for its non-slip performance, durability, and confident grip in demanding real-world use.Hey Matt pardon the delay things have been a bit crazy over here lately.

Why I love GripX:
As an artisan maker I’m always looking for new and interesting materials to compliment my designs, so when Grip X hit the market I jumped on it.
Every client who’s received one of my Grip X builds raves about the feel and grip.
I take a layered approach to my laminations, blending elements of phenolic and natural woods to produce a clean, mixed texture, rich with color and contrast.
Surface prep and adhesion is a breeze, sanding to 320/400 and oiling really pops the grip texture at finish.
I love this material and so will you.
