I considered getting the standard Griptilian in orange, but I wanted another Ritter since I had the fixed blade model. Both knives share the same blade shape. I also prefer S30V a little over 154CM, but the performance difference is really not enough that I would actually notice it. The Ritter cost quite a bit more than the standard Griptilian, but as Benchmade folders go, it's still not that expensive.

As far as Extrema Ratio folders, I have no interest at all in them. They are angular and ugly looking to me. The problem with most super duty folders is their weight. Some, like the ZT are heavier than a 5" fixed blade. The whole reason I carry a folder is to put it in my pocket where it will always be available for use. Some of the best ones for pocket carry are the Spyderco Endura and Military, Cold Steel Voyagers, Swamp Rat, and now the Ritter.
