No slip handle scales,,,ideas please?

If it's a fixed blade and you don't care about looks, you could always go biker inner tube over the handle to help get traction. Cheap fix and easy to remove.

I used bicycle innertube for many years to increase the grip of knife handles and make them thicker when they were too thin for my hand. But then I switched to Plastidip, which produces a hard, rubbery coating. Like the innertube it doesn't last forever, and it may not be the best choice for knives that are going to get banged around a lot, but I really like it and have never gone back to inner tube. I do a minimum of three dips per handle for the best result.

Tero Tuf is mere grippy than micarta especially when wet.

Nothing that I know of beats the rubber type of stuff though.

How about fish scale machining on g10 or canvas?

I made these handle scales on my BM 151 fixed Griptilian out of peel ply course G10. I did a lime green g10 liner just for kicks. So easy to work with. I did it myself with band saw, drum sander and c lamps to hold the epoxy in place. They are not the greatest obviously but my first try at it and it's very fulfilling to do it myself.
