    Get a book (or something thick with a straight edge) , smash down your grip and make sure that the ends are flush with your straight edge. Take your exacto knife and push straight down on where you want to cut. Basically just make sure everything is flush and it should come out fine. happy.gif

    Slowly cut them, or perferate them first then cut.

    if you are cutting profile grips, leave them on the pen, and then use an exacto and follow the seam of the grip, you just have to take your time

    Put them on a BIC cap or something. I just use a razor blade and push down on the grip so it's flat, and cut slowly.

    that seems a good idea...i'll do that^^

    but i'll take more suggestions!=D

    i'm just afraid the grips stretch...won't that happen?

    Theres a thread about this. wikisadob3.gif and search

    BTW I use a razor blade and just roll the blade on the grip while it's still on the pen.

    I put it over a pencil and put a razor on the grip and roll the pencil and it cuts very clean.

    I use a chopping knife... Produces quite a clean cut but the only problem is that you might cut it a little slanted rather than straight

    i thought of putting it ther, but since this is something that i've never seen anyone asking, i thought i could make a new thread....
