Got my full size Ritter in the mail today. The pivot was crazy tight! Couldn't even flick it open all the way. I adjusted it and it's smooth as glass, no blade play. Sweet knife!
Mine was the same way. I blue lubed it and flicked it a bunch and it loosened up quite well.
Noticed a full size Ritter grip (m390) up for auction over at fleabay... last i checked it was over $225! Strange because when I looked at the KW site it showed they still had them in stock...
I'm just curious and dont mean to sound sarcastic but what is the huge following in the Ritter? Is it just the blade shape? What am I missing? I much prefer the standard drop point? Please don't take this as being critical but I always thought the Ritter blade looked odd in the Grip frame.
Some people feel the more belly shape of the Ritter to be far superior. That's it.
Well, that and it's different. It's always cool to be different.

AHHHH, I didn't realize there was a difference in the steel.
BM showing it without scales seems like they're probably coming out with a Ritter with upgraded scales. That would be awesome!

So it looks like BM is going to produce the same knife without the Doug Ritter logo and cut him out completely. I suppose this will also allow them to get rid of the dealer exclusive agreement for the knife. I am glad the knife will still be available long term but seems a bit of a dirty deal on the surface if you ask me.
No way. Look at the pic. The butterfly is still on the right side of the blade, the Ritter logo is still on the show side.
