Here is a little experiment I did with my model 18 I bought some brown micarta tubing, 1 inch inside diameter and 1.25 inch outside diameter and made a slip on cover for the handle of my 18. I put some finger grooves in it too. There is no permanent alteration to the knife.
Who knows, there could be an ironwood cover in the future too
