Handle grip on Buck fixed blades

[donnord]

I have a 119 with standard phenolic handle, which I find too slick for my tastes. I have roughed it up with 600 grit and cut grooves into it as well. It's better, but does not look very good. I was looking at the 120 heritage with Cocobolo handle on Bucks website and wanted to know from someone who has one how slippery the Cocobolo is. I read one review which said it was worse. If that is the case I may opt for a custom 119 with Elk.
Thanks
