Steep Country - Replace Grip

Digging the Steep Country specs and gets good reviews for a hunting blade, but wish could swap out the rubber/synthetic grips for something more solid (G10/Micarta/etc) that I could take on/off to clean.
I have the ability to make scales but was wondering if anyone knows what's under the rubber grips? Are there holes where bolts/pins could go through?
Thanks,
Hawk
 
A picture of the knife with handle removed is on this page...


...and it appears that the tang has two holes up front that the handle covers and one in back that it does not.
 
I plan to do a mortise tang on mine when the grip wears through. Walnut sides, orange g10 in the center. The rubber grip is surprisingly durable though.
