For some time I've been telling myself, "Self you need a pinch knurl." but I've done nothing about it. Then I saw 2volts recent post of a pinch knurl he made. So I decided to get on the stick and do one. I didn't exactly copy his but did use the general concept.
Bulkier than I intended, didn't draw a plan like 2volts did just cut material and machined and adjusted as I went, also made a few learning errors along the way. It does work and that is what I wanted, the brass knob was knurled with this knurl. So, I might do it differently if I did another (e.g. add some pivot washers, 3/4"x 1/2" for the knurl arms instead of 1/2" sq.,use smaller narrower steel for main body, etc.) but this one does work.
