Speedily Attending to the Unnecessary !

Thanks for the good-humored and informative responses!

The quill-feed handle 'wrap' wasn't a really serious project, but I do admit I like how it feels. It also has extra features: (a.) Less likely for your hand to slip off the slick plastic handle tip. (b.) The leather-to-plastic friction-fit serves as a perfect 'torque limiter' for tightening down the handle threads.

Tardy response, but, I do understand the comfort/slipping issues with the newer handle version. I am used to the 'original' Mark 5 shaped handles.

I think going to the newer version was a mistake.
