Re: Place here your Tiger striped NSKK or SA Grip
It takes a steady hand to do this and not a drunken one as most likely alot of grips were burned during that period..which Im sure ...LOL had to be explained to the SA manns immediate superiors. This should turn out to be a great thread. Looking forward to some of these beauties

Another nice find Gerrit..and this thread is beginning to grow! Nice to see a few pimples in the motto....and the crossguard to scabbard fitting fit is tight..including the grip to the crossguards itself.Judging by the photos only...... the grip looks like someone well preserved it as it does not look like it was period laquered. In any case a great early example including the early type long nosed snap clip Regards Larry

I am not a dagger guy but these examples with the tiger striping in the wood are beautiful!

One learns somehting new every day. Ive seen them, but it never occurred to me, how they were made.
Interesting as alway, 'gerrit.' Thanks.

The tiger stripe effect can also be achieved in the manner the wood is sawn from the log. The method is called quarter sawn and was quite popular at the begining of the 20th century for millwork in residential and commercial buildings. It is not seen much today as this method also wastes a lot of wood. It is possible that this method was used to make these grips and then the detailing was brought out in the finishing process. I would not doubt that this form of grip was an additional extra price when a man ordered his dagger.
