I do not put anything on the handle. It is not exactly easy to get the grip on, but once on it will not slip off. I use a vice to hold the knife while applying grip. Eric

Dish soap and water will help it slide on easily then dry for a secure fit.

Harley Davidson handlebars are 1" diameter while Japanese and European are 7/8". Model 18 has a 1" diameter handle. Just so you know what's what.

I received the knife today from Buxton knives. It's beautiful! My wife even said it was too pretty to use!

Once I decide on what material to put on the handle, I'll post a pix in the Knife of the Week Thread.
