My wife just bought me a Buck 119, and I'm wondering about its handle. It's got the typical Buck black handle with the silver pommel & guard; I haven't used it yet for anything real, but it seems the grip would be slick as can be, once it got water or blood on it.
Could be I'm spoiled, as my only other sheath knives are Cold Steel and Spec Plus and have rubber or kraton handles.
Does this Buck handle material get as slick as it seems it would, and what's the cure if so? (I'm even considering some large heat-shrink tubing shrunk down over the grip area, if nothing else.)
