Haha, was thinking the same thing, but, that handle is so comfy, for me at least, just the right thickness etc. But some day I will be moulding a new grip, hopefully be an improvement!

Maybe just another rivet?
Maybe, if it didn't weaken the tang, would have to see how beefy that tang is before poking another hole, maybe just resins and a better rivet/fastener! Possibly even gently drill out the rivet fill the present handle with resin and fasten back up with some type of sunken bolt! Would firm it up and make the original grip stronger!

Missed out on that model but will order 2 if they sell them again.

Canadians have (a) the right of the individual to life, liberty, security of the person and enjoyment of property, and the right not to be deprived thereof.
Never in doubt, seldom correct.
Nice, got a bit of a look at the tang there, looks like it is as thick as the knife an at least 1/2 inch wide, no wonder the guy could stand on it! So the balance is ok on the bolo for throwing?

Man I tell ya, being front heavy it sticks real good (with a *very* satisfying thunk) once you get the rotation down.
I am by no means an expert but of the Hibbens and Cold Steels etc that I have tried, this dirk is still my favorite.
