The oddest grip material I have seen was coarse pink wall plaster, the base layer type before the fine white grade is skimmed on to finish. This was on a quite decent yatagan, and had been painted black to disguise it. That came off after I got my hands on it and replaced with buffalo horn.
This was done 20 years ago, and I would go about it differently now, more cautiously and better researched.
