Here's a way to reinforce the left grip corner, or the entire grip for that matter: Go to a model hobby shop and buy a bottle of cyanoacrolate instant glue. This comes in various viscosities, so be sure and get the "thin" kind which has the viscosity of water. Put a few drops on the back of the grip at any weak point. The glue will soak in, harden, and immensely reinforce the wood, preventing any breakage. Also, a broken chip can be glued back in place with this material and the repair will be completely invisible. This type of glue is tricky to use, so practice with it on some scrap wood first. Store the bottle in a freezer after use and it will remain fresh for a long time.
