My Mini Ritter Grip

gull wing · Feb 12, 2016

I know this isn't a new topic, but

I wanted to try M390, so chose the Ritter Grip. Haven't really had it long enough to see how good M390 is. Hoping for a super sharp edge that holds up a decent amount of time.
I like the stonewash blade, looks like the "old" Sebenza Regular's finish.
Nice size knife, but the stock scales had to go, so these scales are AWT.(dark charcoal and OD green)
Looking forward to carrying it.

already dropped it on the concrete.

Very nice! My Ritter Mini has the cobalt blue AWT scales.

This was mine. Just sold it to my brother in law. Really regreted it after I did. So I just ordered a new G10 Mini that will be here Tuesday and a set of DeathGrip scales for it. I'll give the G10 ones to my son for his Mini.

Someone educate me as I'm new to the Benchmade scene. Will custom Ritter scales fit the standard 551 Griptilian? Handle and hardware on both are the same with the difference being the blade steel/profile?

Same handles, same hardware, 2 sizes of knife, the regular and the mini. The scales are all interchangeable, but can be a challenge for some people to reassemble/disassemble.

I love these scales! Are these custom scales or is this a stock offering?

Those scales are made by a forum member named Deathofallthings. He does outstanding work.

Do the scales add or subtract any weight?

Ravenbrook · Feb 16, 2016

They add a bit of weight and make it feel MUCH BETTER IN HAND!! Knife feels more balanced.

This is his page on the forum. Check it out. He can do tons of cool stuff. Just keep in mind that any knife with a wood inlay or carbon fiber inlay means that the knife itself will be smooth in texture and not have the same texture as the black and orange one I posted.
