This could be a small tool, about the size of a nasal hair trimmer, or an attachment to a multi-purpose tool such as a Dremel. It has a set of rotating diamond-tipped knurling wheels and its function is to add knurls to anything. Does your toothbrush feel insufficiently machine-tooled? Can you not get enough gription on your lunchtime burrito? Super-sleek new smartphone keeps slipping out of your hand? - just add some knurls.

It might be a bit bigger than a nose hair trimmer, but... [MechE, Sep 23 2015]

       I'm sure embossed det-cord would do the job.

       Baked.   

       Hand held and operated knurling rollers exist. See link for one example.

       You just know that the kids will start calling everything totally knurly.

       //It could be reserved for a faceplant into a wire fence.//   

       again?...   

       That had no feeling whatsoeveratall... and that link looks suspiciously like a pipe-cutter... and 'that' man's playing Galaga.
You thought I wouldn't notice...		   

       Except for the fact it has grooved wheels instead of a blade, it is a pipe cutter. It's got the same basic function, roll around a round surface and press into it really hard.

       I think it's a good job the knurler MechE links to has a knurled handle. Else you'd be snookered.
