Kershaw 1820 grip panels wanted

Hope this is the place 4 my wanted post...I am a newbie.
WANTED .. My Kershaw 1820 has worn out grip panels both left n right. Kershaw does not have any. Might have to buy a complete knife...rather not. Any help out there?

    Ugh.  No joy here.

    I am making new ones to replace the ones on my Kershaw Vedder (2460), but I never had any interaction with a 1820 (Needs Work).  I do like how the flipper tab on yours is 'hidden' when open though.

    Bummer!  I missed out on the Needs Work / 1820 when they were in production, really missed that boat because their current aftermarket prices are through the roof!  I really like that wharncliffe blade; I hope you can find a set of scales somewhere -- that knife looked like it was just begging for a handle scale upgrade.  Seriously wishing you luck, man.

    Oh, & to Kevin:  I heard direct from an employee at Kershaw that the Vedder was in fact named after Eddie Vedder, lead singer of Pearl Jam, because the designer was a fan (have I mentioned this before?).  I just love knowing that (I actually met a couple of the members of Pearl Jam -- Stone Gossard & Jeff Ament, but not Eddie Vedder -- back in '94 I think it was, when Pearl Jam was in Minneapolis on the Lollapalooza 2 tour).  I was a big fan of the Seattle sound back then; Eddie Vedder of course being the only member of that band NOT from Seattle...  Sorry, didn't mean to hijack the conversation...  ;P
