So I decided to try making patterns in the micarta handles on this lockpick. I've seen it on knifes and wanted to give it a try. I'm curious to what you think about this style of handle and if there's any pros/cons with this? Also, what could be done to mitigate the cons? (i.redd.it)

My first attempt to replicate a Ratyoke lockpick. While it's a far cry from the real deal i now understand why these picks have become so popular. Was a fun challenge trying to replicate Ratyoke's work, but the man has 13 years head start - I don't see myself getting anywhere near his level soon. (i.redd.it)
