This is a little off topic, but I've been thinking about this for a while:
If the handle of a pugio is too small for the hand, could they have wrapped the handle in leather?
Several modern knife makers wrap a metal handle with para-cord and I don't see why the Romans would have used a knife with bad ergonomics when they could have just made the handle bigger or wrapped it in something.
