Those are some mean knurling patterns!

Grippiest Razor Handles I know Of
- Thread starter Rwoodreno
- Start date
When I was younger and worked with my hands stocking shelves and such at a local grocery, I played darts in the evenings. I was not very good, I just could not feel the dart in my fingers. Until I bought a set of hammerheads with very aggressive knurling. Once I could feel the dart, my game improved. I have liked aggressive knurling ever since.
I find aggressive knurling to be a bit intrusive, as I can feel the sharp points as I shave. My Ikon OSS handle falls into this category.
I much prefer the type of knurling that doesn't have "points", which I think provides a better grip than more aggressive knurling. My vote for for "Grippiest handle" therefore goes to my ATT Kronos.

I like the plasti-dip idea. My Futur has probably the slickest handle and that's part of what prevents me from using it more often.
Weber bulldog (similar to the ixgrip) is one of my favorites!
Grippiest I have is my '46 Aristocrat.
I was gonna post this! MR7, foreal! It's somehow grippier than than the other Maggard handles.
The Maggard MR 5 fits my hand perfectly. I will be using it with the new Wolfman Guerrilla razor soon.
My grippiest handles have all been early Triad handles from Toby S.
My last handle from Toby, a gorgeous copper Aristocrat knurled handle, was much smoother and less grippy.
I also found the iKon Bulldog (second gen 80mm) to be nicely grippy.
As for modifications, I added rubber grommets to a CooncatBob Improved handle to make it foolproof in the shower!

The handle on a PAA DOC is really grippy, as well.
I have the "Scientist" version of the Fendrihan, and yes it is very grippy. Almost feels like a large-diameter rat-tail file. I just find the appearance a little mundane.
I like this idea. Do you know if you can remove it at a later date without damaging the handle? Thanks.
The Rocca R95 Birch Bark handle is the grippiest I have come across, and the wetter it gets the grippier it gets
Lupo 72 with Super Knurl Handle, very grippy for me.
I've not tried every handle out there (not even close, of course) but Aji's (H&S's) new titanium handles are pretty amazingly knurled and hence grippy. (At first I was worried they'd be too sharp but I haven't noticed that at all in use; all I notice is that I can grip it anywhere and it feels secure.). Here's my P076 with one:

I have quite a few handles that are nice in the hand that are knurled but the TNNSER 3D printed handle is ergonomic and grippy and a joy to to use. It is very similar to the Enders speed razor handle that was around for decades and is a nice handle. The TNNSER 3D printed handle that was Designed by @twhite & @riverrun ? took the Enders design to different comfort level and grip level IMO. I also have the Enders speed razor and enjoyed it.
Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!

Just echoing others at this point, but the iKon OSS, Razorock Super Knurl, and Parker A1R are my grippiest. All a little too grippy, honestly. The new Timeless Crown is my current favorite in terms of nailing the best amount of traction. But that just might be another infatuation with what's been recently acquired.
The old Star double edge razor, a Tech clone, has amazing square patterned knurling.
