Is the bar knurled or have some sort of grip pattern cut in?

It is powder coated. No real grip, other than textured paint. Basically it feels like the body of most weight machines. I'd recommend tape on the bar or gloves.

The bar itself is smooth. I wrapped it in first aid style tape to give it grip.

No , no pattern, but the surface quality is outstanding, grip is easy, no "slipping hand effect". I do pull ups easy, without use of any grip powder.

Bar is textured powder coat. Imagine an orange peel with some fine grit sand in it. I would describe it as the perfect blend of grip with no slip without being too abrasive and tearing up my hands. Bar diameter is perfect for my wife and I. The whole family can use this chin up bar. I also like the tactical gray color it looks good mounted to my white ceiling. Our neighbors ordered one after seeing ours. I highly recommend this bar for TRX, Insanity, P90X or Crossfit it allows you to do movements doorway pull up bars restrict you from.

The grips are just different spots on the bar that you can hold on to. Moving hand positions changes the exercise. Each position you can place your hand is padded.Hope that helps...

It's a Ka-bar knock off but does the job. I use mine for jobs and leave my Ka-bar in its box.

It has a ratchet strip that goes around the bar. It's been very stable for me, even on very rough surfaces.

Sorry this took so long, I've been out of town. It has a straight bar. So far it works OK.

I don't know how to answer this. Its a bar that goes over the blade it's a bar that goes over the blade like majority of knives.

The handle is made of leather, not wood.Most full size and military KaBArs have the leather wrapped grip/handle.

The cross bar is telescopic. It is a little cheesy cause it don't tighten up and comes telescoping out when you hold it down.

Yes, the bar has a screw on one end and you turn the handle that has a big foam pad on it. Fairly easy too do.

Mine just arrived and, in addition to the pull up bar, it comes with two natural grip handles and two loose steel plates. I guess i can figure it out but a simple instruction sheet to avoid any doubt would be helpful.

I just checked my TWO Cap 1000 pound barbells that I ordered here on Amazon and neither of them have centered knurling. The center area is smooth. They do have two areas on each side that have knurling (or if you want to think of it as one long knurling area on each side separated by a small thin smooth stripe in the middle of the knurling). The width of the smooth area within the knurling is less than the width of my pinky finger. But, I use that smooth area on each side as a marker for hand placement on the bar.

Yes you will have to trim the end of the bars a little. Heated grips are shorter

I have heard both yes and no. The cut on the tops of the grips are not identical. But I am not familiar with an ambidextrous safety layout against the frame.

There are black caps on the ends of the bars. If the cut is rough, it might be hard to get the caps back on for a clean finish. Hope that helps.

The bar has 2 sets of grips. There is a set that is flush with the bar itself, & another set above on the raised handles. Both sets are perpendicular to the bar itself.

The bar is both. It has certain sections that generally adhere to the placement of doing bench presses, either for a wide grip or a narrow grip that are knurled. The rest of the center areas on the bar are smooth.

I believe I used a wrench to pull it up around the bar.... There might be a you tube video about it.
