I was just reading over some comments about how people like or don't like their Zytel/Grivory. Personally, I admit that I like the Zytel less than Micarta or G10 - it is simply too smooth for may taste. If one isn't crazy about the Zytel, what are the aftermarket options? What is the texture on the Kryptoglow stuff?
 
There's micarta for the full size line, and all kinds of custom options. Some of us make our own as well. What were you looking for in particular?
 
The cheapest option, and one that I actually really like, is to pull a mountain bike tube over the middle section of the grip. It give it just a little give and a lot of grip.

Otherwise, Kabar and Saint Cutlery offer micarta scales that are both quite nice. Saint's have a slimmer profile than Kabar's, so pick your preference there. Tommythewho and Jim 62 make them out of wood.
 
I believe that Saints Cutlery also offers G10 but I haven't tried them yet.
