Is the bar knurled or have some sort of grip pattern cut in?

It is powder coated. No real grip, other than textured paint. Basically it feels like the body of most weight machines. I'd recommend tape on the bar or gloves.

The bar itself is smooth. I wrapped it in first aid style tape to give it grip.

No , no pattern, but the surface quality is outstanding, grip is easy, no "slipping hand effect". I do pull ups easy, without use of any grip powder.

Bar is textured powder coat. Imagine an orange peel with some fine grit sand in it. I would describe it as the perfect blend of grip with no slip without being too abrasive and tearing up my hands. Bar diameter is perfect for my wife and I. The whole family can use this chin up bar. I also like the tactical gray color it looks good mounted to my white ceiling. Our neighbors ordered one after seeing ours. I highly recommend this bar for TRX, Insanity, P90X or Crossfit it allows you to do movements doorway pull up bars restrict you from. Well built product simple yet genius design. Definitely worth the money it will last a lifetime and then some Bar is textured powder coat. Imagine an orange peel with some fine grit sand in it.

I agree with Rocco's answer. The handle on the Ka-Bar is leather wrapped. It looks nice with the leather sheath that it comes with. This model is more of a hunting style than "tactical". Ka-Bar does make quality tactical knives if that's what you're looking for.

No, they use flat head screws. If not mistaken, the stock grip screws were used.

It is a part of the grip. For my taste the thumb guard is a little small. I do love the handle, otherwise. It is very comfortable and easy to hold onto.

The handle is made of leather, not wood.Most full size and military KaBArs have the leather wrapped grip/handle.

The bar is both. It has certain sections that generally adhere to the placement of doing bench presses, either for a wide grip or a narrow grip that are knurled. The rest of the center areas on the bar are smooth.

Yes, but it is going to bend. My neigbor and I both had the same issue. Dont waste your money. Kabar needs a redesign for this clip. I wish it did work. I would carry this knife much more if it did.... but that is not the case.

It has a ratchet strip that goes around the bar. It's been very stable for me, even on very rough surfaces.

It's about 2/3 of the way down the handle, but do consider that it's half the width of the blade, which is thicker than the tang on a Ka-Bar.EDIT: This page has a diagram of the tang.http://www.moraofsweden.se/morakniv/companion-mg-50.0.202.2?group=prod_prod_grp-s1%2F41

The grips are just different spots on the bar that you can hold on to. Moving hand positions changes the exercise. Each position you can place your hand is padded. Hope that helps...

I am not sure what you mean. The handle is a tube in which the bar gets inserted for most of the length of the handle. The fit is quite snug and I actually had to sand the inside of my handle to be able to get the bar in. Does that help?

The bar has 2 sets of grips. There is a set that is flush with the bar itself, & another set above on the raised handles. Both sets are perpendicular to the bar itself.

No. The one I got was either the 2nd, or 3rd generation one. Steel lockbar insert, and cutout/depression facing out. It's a pretty nice knife. Only two small complaints: kind of bulky, and the lockup was about 50/55%. I'd buy it again if I had to do it all over.

Same way my kimber was. Really nice grips for the price. Made my desert warrier look like a different gun. To answer your question YES.

I find that the knurling on the handles is actually very good. It's much rougher than the knurling on my barbell, which surprised me. A couple of reviewers actually said it was too rough. Overall, feeling like my grip was slipping has never been an issue.

Wow I never noticed that b4. Mine is right handed so maybe the picture was just messed up or they put up the wrong 1but this knife is 1 of the best k nifes I have

This bar IS hollow. It is chrome plated steel with a knurled grip. Shipping weight is always more than product weight and may be rounded up.
