Hey everybody,
I have a CRKT Mirage Gray Ghost (AUS-8M, aluminum scales), and I love it. I can't believe I only paid $20 for this knife.
The other day while playing around with my Stryker and Gray Ghost, I decided I really wanted some G10 scales for my CRKT. It would lighten the knife up somewhat, and give better grip than the smooth aluminum. Any knifemakers do this sort of thing? What kind of cost would I be looking at? Anybody else interested in a similar project?
 
mgeoffriau -- can you share your source for this wonderful price? Are there any more left?

Sure, it's a seller on eBay by the username wigglewagons.

http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewListedItems&userid=wigglewagons&include=0&since=-1&sort=2&rows=25

He usually has a pretty good selection of knives, nothing super-nice, but some good lower end knives at very good prices. He'll also sell knives direct if you email him and work out a deal. I won two auctions of his, and he was great to deal with. Since then I've avoided the general hassle of auctions and just emailed him directly ("do you have this knife? how much?" etc). I think right now he has one or two Gray Ghosts starting at $10 bids with no reserves.
 
I just checked again, looks like the only Gray Ghost he had up for auction was just bought by somebody (I don't like that "Buy it now" feature). If you are wanting one, I'm sure he'll have some in the future or you could email him.
 
Thanks very much. Sorry to be so slow getting back here. I appreciate the help!

Thanks very much. Really appreciate it. Bookmarked him, and will try to remember to check him out periodically. I even like the current bid price on the Zytel Mirage. It's several bucks below Knife Center's special price on that knife. I have every other Zytel handled Mirage I believe, but never bought any Gray Ghosts. Cheap, you know.
