The Mudder handles don't have that sandpaper feel but they have dimples all over to enhance the comfort when using. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hopefully you won't be hacking away at stuff with a knife with Mudders.

They are on smaller blades for a finer control. The dimples give more fingertip dexterity for small cutting challenges RN. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
I too wash mine in warm water and dish-washing detergent then towel dry. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My Mudders are all perfect for the blades they cover. Like the new Scrap Muk.... boy i can't wait for that sweet Mudder to be released. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

Enjoy those handles RN, they are great just different! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
