Benchmade Ritter Grip: perfect blade design?

[nevermind35]

I've got a mini S30v Ritter a CPM-M4 Ritter and a Gold Class Griptillian that I took the blade out of and replaced it with another CPM-M4 Ritter blade. All three of them I consider to be some of my very favorite knives. I find that the blade shape is perfect for me for outdoor and edc uses. They have a nice thin flat grind that cuts exceptionally while still keeping enough steel to be tough. Also, they have a good bit of belly for skinning and slicing yet still have a relatively low centered point. This makes it much easier to puncture material and to use like a straight edge when you need to cut something against a hard surface like cutting leather against wood. The handles on the full size fit my hand perfectly and the blade length is optimal for weekend uses. I will say though that the Mini had a tiny bit smaller handle than I liked but that was completely fixed when with the Wilkins g11 scales. They add a few centimeters, just enough to get a good purchase with my pinky finger.

Give em a try!

I hope you don't mean the FFG Endura, because although I don't have a Ritter Grip, I doubt that it out cuts the FFG Endura.

Both are 3mm thick flat ground blades. Doubt there's much of a difference given the same user and sharpener. Ritter has a more pronounced belly that comes off a straight edge, while the endura starts curving up earlier, a shallower but longer belly if you will. close enough profiles for most tasks, I'd say
