You can get an old leather glove, cut off one of the fingers, and stitch it over the back of the ricasso. If I was playing with it, I'd also get some braided wire and put it in the recesses on the grip, drill small holes where they terminate, and secure the ends with tooth-picks. The hilt can be cold-blued on the cheap. That should go over well with the ladies.
