Seems like a good price. I was looking at the orange Griptilian, but I may have to go with the Ritter.

Aren't the Grips great? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> That axis lock is like buttah! I have the yellow mini-grip 556, but I want the full size one now.

RE: Doug Ritter RSK Griptilian... ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Aug20006.jpg) Looks like a beauty! Been thinking about something in yellow or orange. If anyone has both, how would you compare the Ritter vs. the standard BM Griptilian? Worth the premium? Thanks,

Thanks, Don't have both, but from what I hear it's like SR-101 or INFI. Slight edge in performance, MUCH higher price...

Nice Orange folder! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> So... does anyone have any opinions or experiences with any of the Extrema Ratio folders? Just curious... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

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.

Need help guys. I can't decide between the Emerson Mini CQC-15 or the Spyderco Delica 4 with G-10 handles. I'll probably end up with both at some point, but can only get one right now.
