Trac-Tec inserts - how grippy are these? Would you feel confident enough to slam the knife into a board?

i would be hesitant to slam any folder into a board. the inserts are very grippy, i have not had them lose traction ever. but i would also probably use a hatchet or an axe to do any kind of "slamming into a board" work, since that is what those tools are designed to do while not endangering your digits.

Hello. It feels the same as rough sandpaper. Just like sandpaper, with extended use the grippy feel will diminish. As for slamming into a board I wouldn't feel too comfortable doing that due to the fact that your index finger doesn't really have much of an area to rest behind on the handle itself. This Is just a simple EDC for general purpose use. Hope this helps.

Almost too grippy. I fear they will wear out my pocket after continued EDC. Yes I would feel confident enough to slam the knife into a board.

The inserts are grippy. However, I don't think I would slam it into a board! If I take the clip off, I might.The Blur is a great knife for edc. I do recommend it.

Hi. We like these knives. There is some very fine serration from tip to about 2inches. These feel good to use unlike so many clunky ones they often have in restaurants. Recommended.

I bought a pair and they are a really nice set of grips. Perfect fit. The only problem you may encounter is they are thicker. Might be a problem with small hands or reaching the decock lever.

This is not a questions for me. But I do have this cutting board and like it very much. Mine does not have grippers on it.

They are the same as any other knives except for the non slip/stick coating so yes! One problem I can see happening is them dulling a bit quicker then using a standard cutting board.

You may want to check out YouTube for use demo. I received mine moments ago and they seem OK. It is important to not just pull up on area furthest from blade but also pivot the forward section on blade end downward, much as when turning a car key off or cranking the handle of a traditional kitchen opener . Don't just use finger tips but hold firmly between length of thumb and index finger. The idea is to evenly distribute the force thereby preventing holding at can grip slot.

Not for me. I use mine regularly for work and so far so good, its comfortable enough. The only thing with the majority of these knives is the flimsy little crappy screws that never stay in that hold the clip. This knife is no exception.

In smaller hands, it would seem like a dagger, but the grip is excellent if you know how to hold the knife in more ways than one. It all depends on what grip techniques feel more natural to the user. I have large hands. The grip seems small in a tight grip but feels natural in a more relaxed yet subtle grip. It does have a nice grip. It feels ergonomic.

It is a really grippy handle even when wet, I have never had it happen, I wouldn't worry about it. Super comfortable ergonomical and grippy ruberized handle. Most comfortable and sharpest knife I have ever owned.

I was a little concerned about the grip at first as well....but it actually has pretty good grip. The squared off edges give it a nice solid feel in your hand. I have never felt like it was going to slip out of my hands.

I would not try that, the knife blade had a torsion spring and would most likely just move the knife edge away from the board.

I think they should be ok. The rubber on the outside will allow a good grip and they are not heavy.

need a little finger dexterity, and just make sure you feel them snap into place

they are very comfortable in your hand. These are some REALLY nice inexpensive knives!! I love them. I do only handwash them, don't know if that is necessary but I do try to take good care of them. Very sharp!! I

Absolutely. They are not flimsy at all. I also like that the non-cutting surface is kind of tacky (but not sticky), so that the board doesn't slip all around while you are cutting or chopping. I think they are the best I've ever used. Hope that helps.

Im on same boat as you are but $200 + for a grip is way too much. let me know if you hear anything.
