If one were to put this on a high polish steel handle, would it compromise the grip? Or does it protect without making the surface slicker?

My experience is that it polishes, and blocks oxidation. I have never experienced it making a surface slicker.

I used this on some silver spoons. It did not make the surface slick at all.

I would say it adds something to the handle size compared to most other replacement grips, but not a full 1/8 of an inch and probably not even 1/16 (as an overgrip). It is a good, long-lasting replacement grip.

Nope. You have to cut a small portion out for it to fit around the grip safety. Otherwise it will simply cover it.

This product will protect the head/bristles. The entire handle will be exposed.

I actually never used it.. turns out was not worth the purchase, been in a drawer. However I don't see that the grip would cause any issues.

The handle is a bit slippery if you get soap on it, but not when it is wet. The lack of knurling is unfortunate, but with decently consistency lather, soap doesn't really proliferate the handle. The handle length has not been an issue for me.

I dont believe the grips will be an issue since the do not come into contact with the holster itself.

I have not had reason to expose the handle to different heat than the scraper. It does okay when I leave it on top of the oven.

anything can slip in certain circumstances, like when covered with grease/vaseline (from fire starter cotton) etc. If you know your grip is weak due to injury or whatever, then...All the reviews I've read/seen compliment the ergonomics/texture of the handle. Personal use confirms these positive impressions.

It could but it will ruin the finish. I'd rather just change the grips if it were mine.

Yes, it is. I use it to protect my cast iron woodworking tools. I treat my table saw and band saw surfaces after cleaning to prevent rust and it also makes the table surface slick. I rehab old hand planes and coat them as well. The JPW does a great job.

I believe the soft handle grip is a covering for an inside steel core. It gives adequate cushioning for impact.

It is fairly course but not enough to abrade your fingers. I use it much the same as you might to provide extra grip on a handle. Be sure to clean the surface well before you apply tape. Regular alcohol works great for this.

the surface grip doesnt prevent sliding, as the majority of the surface is metal. there will be some sliding so be aware.

I'm assuming you mean the lever and not the grip. If youre not worried about cosmetics, i would drill out a 1//8 inch hole on both sides of the break and cut a piece of wire hanger to reinforce. Also would sand around outside surface of lever to remove clearcoat/dirt/oil

I havnt owned the regular black handle version but I would guess no because this one is also very slippery. However the quality and sharpness of the blade makes up for it

I had the same problem, I used a piece of the packaging foam that came with it, lined the outside of the rod and slid the handle on it, the friction keeps it in place just fine.
