I need to select the proper tool for a small knurling operation...Having read previous thread and printed Dorian info, searched and studied my books I'm still at a loss for the best tool to purchase. I've never knurled before.
2 HP 12" swing manual lathe
I want to knurl a medium pitch diamond pattern 5" long on the end of a 1.125" cold rolled mild steel bar. This is for a hand grip on a Dake 3A ratchet arbor press handle. I can turn the dia of the bar to size. Which is better for a grip surface like this, male or female diamond pattern?
Could anyone help me pick a toolholder and tool to do this from this page ( or someplace better)?

Thanks for any help, and recommendations.
