Grips Etc Discontinued?

S30V is OK I guess, but something like this....M390 in a flat grind would be even more betterer.

That is one beautiful knife, which one is that?!?

It's a DLT Trading SFO Grip with carbon fiber scales & M390 blade. I forget if they were an offering from last year or early this year.

DLT 551-1701. Brass spacers, CF scales, M390 blade — love it!

The Griptilians are not getting discontinued. There are some improvements coming so stay tuned.

Will you still have the great colors of the gray g-10 and blue accents with the 20cv steel?

Yep those SKUs will still be available in satin finish only.

So no more 20CV black blade models?

 

[Chalet]

Interesting! So are you guys introducing new blade shapes to the Griptilian line? I always thought the old blackwater model would've sold well. Drop point with a thumb hole. A spearpoint would be neat.

Correct.

I kept hoping they would modify the 761 to make tip up carry possible but they never did. It was just about perfect but tip down only is a deal breaker for me.

Are all the black blade mini grips discontinued? If so that would be disappointing.

No, just the 154CM versions. You will still be able to get the black blade mini grips in the new S30V versions.

Awesome I look forward to buying one

So, would the new hotness upgrade steel for the Grips end up as..... 3V?

Wonder if changes will keep them from fitting in Wilkins scales?
Glad I have 2 Ritters in Wilkins grips a grey G10 20cv Grip and about to put a 551-1702 M390 Grip in a set of Wilkins Grips.

I think they just changed the blade steel — and the grind on the sheep’s foot blade.

That's my understanding, too. AFAIK, there's no change in the basics of the knife, just the blade steel and grind for the entry-level Grips.
