New Grip for the SOG Topo Contour

Got the one with Satin finish.
I really like the overall design (especially the blade) but find the grip with the SOG logo on it incredibly ugly. Ergo I'll need a new grip, which should be an easy thing to change thanks to the 6 screws.

The question is what material/design/thickness. Since I am very uncreative I would highly appreciate your ideas.
I was thinking along the line of silver G10 or maybe even stingray skin.

Silver G10 sounds pretty.
Are you going to do the work yourself? If not, I highly recommend someone named Chase Axinn to do this sort of job:

Gee, didn't think that someone would answer (like on the other german knife forum).

Yup, silver G10 like on the Benchmade Gravitator. But as I said, not sure really, ergo my post to collect some ideas.

I would really love to send the knife to chax but (unfortunatly) I live in Vienna. Luckily I already found 4 good knife makers, only need to call them to ask if they might be able to help me.

Edit:
Hm, white G10 doesn't look too shabby either, check this out:

Or white micarta:

I'm still considering the stingray idea though.
