"Super Grip" type has been developed in PEEK material



54 individual micro "protrusions" are precision-machined individually.
these bulges fits between finger print ridges, enhancing anti-slip properties.





difference boundary length was tried for choosing best overall aesthetics.
in the end i chose the one in the last picture.
it seems quite adequate, not too excessive.







in terms of performance,
indeed, the name "Super Grip" matches the actual performance.
it is nearly impossible to lose grip of it, especially when some force is applied between the three gripping fingers.
it is very grippy indeed.

Cool! Does the material have a role in the "grippiness"? Sheaffer put such ridges in their celluloid sections in the 1940s.
