Sorry just saw this. I love Res-C but in an oil/fat enviroment it is not grippy at all, is way slippery. however the mudder's gemotery allows you keep the kinfe in control with out it squeezing out of your hands or requieing a death grip to hang on it. I don't know if I would want to chop with a oily mudder, but cutting/controled work is just fine.
