Fusion 360 help please.

How though to get a knurled effect on the curved surfaces of the handle, any ideas? Thanks.

Do you want a diamond style knurl of the full surface? The diamonds would have to constantly vary in size with the constantly varying circumference, I would be interested in how that's done as I can't even imagine where to start.

I would personally just dot or dimple it as I know how to model that.

You can see the problem @tigdlo mentions when the pitch of the knurling is reduced it starts to affect the shape where the knurls cut into each other. These knurls start and finish perpendicular to the end faces so not like a true knurl but probably maintains the shape better.

Increasing the twist angle...

Thanks both, any of them would do tbh but exactly how do you invoke the knurling? As in what command?

Before he's created knurling 'manually", by subtracting intersecting V furrows, like this:

Guessing there's some way to apply the effect to the surface?

You're basically just cutting a thread....
Produce a slicing surface by surface lofting between two lines (here the lines are 90° offset). Place a cutting tool (triangle) at one end of the surface/knob intersect

Create a path for the cutting tool to follow by splitting the knob with the surface (make sure you create a copy of the knob before doing this)

Use the edge formed as the path for sweep

Mirror that feature...and then circular array it.

Thanks @daedalusminos !
