If you have any woodworking skills at all they are straightforward to make. Look online for "knife scales" of "knife handle blanks"; you will find a dizzying array of exotic woods and other materials in the perfect size. Simply trace your current grips on 2 panels, whittle to shape, drill and countersink 4 holes and finish to taste. Voila... custom grips in a weekend!
If you want you can even inlay some skateboard tape for traction, or stipple (I tried checkering but I lack the patience) for added bling.
