I think it's rpobably one piece molded rubber, I'd say the tang runs about 3/4 of the way up the handle. you can split the handle around the edge with a sharp knife and probably pop it off with a screwdriver. For a replacement you can mortise out two peice of handle material to fit around the tang. add a guard or whatever you like.
