checkering
Carved grip texture
Checkering is the process of cutting a crosshatched pattern of fine grooves into a surface, typically the grip of a firearm or tool handle, to improve traction.
The resulting diamond-shaped texture prevents slipping: The gunsmith added checkering to the pistol's wooden grips.
The pattern itself is also called checkering.
