M4 Ritter Mini Grip FTW! S30V is OK, but if you can find one in M4, grab it. It has kicked all my other EDC's to the curb, and at one point I had quite a few.

are the handles the same on the Ritter mini as the Griptilian mini? like exactly the same/ interchangable?

My grip has seen alot of action, it is semi retired. I promised my 13 yr. old it would be his when he was mature enough, which is not now. I may take it out again, for I love it. It is a great user, and got me going on modern folders. It is a must have.

Exactly the same handles, yes...

You won't regret it. Your first axis lock will be a revelation.

If you can afford it I'd also say go for the Mini Ritter. S30V steel and IMO better blade design.

And finally a shot with all three of my Mini Grips:

My first BM, years ago, was a 440C bladed 551 Griptillian. I still don't care for the handle, but what a blade lock! Now a 551 starts at $105 MSRP, the Bone Collector, #15020 & MSRP $150, is a lot nicer knife - also an AXIS lock, but D2. Of course, there are other choices, too, in that price range.
