It's like pants on a cat--surprising but not impossible. Here, according to Hermann Historica, is an excavated messer with both replacement grip scales and the surviving original scales with what appears to be a cord-textured leather wrap.

Rectangular (somewhat shortened) tang with replacement wooden grip scales (the originals with remnants of the leather grip cover are also present).
