My first stipple attempt. I see a couple places to touch up.
Makes it feel much better.

Doesn't look bad at all! Is that skateboard tape on the back side of the slide?

Yep and thanks. I was concerned about doing it and have wanted to for months. I tried it out on my KT P38T first.

Looks good. How do you stipple over the factory pattern on the backstrap?

If it's any help, I melted mine mostly flat and smooth with a flat bladed soldering iron tip
(like for doing light stained glass)
then go back over it with the pointy tip iron for the stipple job.

I sanded mine down a bit before I stippled it.
