i love this knife. the shape is comfortable and it doesn't roll off the table when set down. i have had mine for about 8 years now. you can find it at jo-anne's or sometimes at wal-mart.

So an update is in order,

I did some searching, online at Amazon and Staples, and even checked a local Staples store for pencil/pen cushions.
I didn't find anything locally, but Amazon had what I wanted, for $6, 2 packs of 6
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

When I got the cushions, I disassembled the knife, and slipped, twisted, pushed, pulled, squeezed a cushion onto the part of the knife where the original orange rubber cushion sat, and reassembled the knife.

So far I am enjoying the cushion, the knife doesn't roll much, mainly due to the angle of the knife when laying on the table, if it does roll, it rolls in an arc, and the cushion also acts a break, slowing the motion of the knife down.

Maybe this is a fix for someone else.

One tip to stop rolling knives is to attach a small 'blob' of epoxy putty to the side of the handle (end opposite the blade.) The resulting knob prevents any rolling.

Epoxy putty can also be used to turn the typical round handle into a custom fit grip. Just make sure not to get any putty on the blade grip or threads (use masking tape as protection while shaping the putty.) Wear a plastic glove while shaping the putty wrapped around the handle.
