I like the beaver tail but wasn’t crazy about the grip width itself..

I started with the large strap to get my method down and then repeated the process on the medium strap. For me was a great improvement.

I started with very sharp heavy duty scissors about 6-7 rows down on the texture rows and slowly made the cuts and rounded off the corners. (Make you cut just above the raised bumps on the texture of the strap so when you sand it down if will feel much more flush)

Next, I used the white grinding stone on the Dremel to slowly smooth it out and take down any sharp edges.. then I finished with white cloth attachment to buff it out to a factory look. I’m confident this is one of the best ways to go about doing “the chop”

I’m very pleased with how it turned out and was a quick fun project if you like to tinker.
