Custom grips for Ritter knives? Any recommendations??

[Striderco]

I know of Kevin Wilkins and Cuscadi. Any input on these different dealers? Thanks!!

I have only good things to say about cuscadi. The folks there do some excellent work and Luke is a pleasure to do business with. I have no personal experience with Kevin Wilkins but I have yet to hear a bad report.

The big difference between the two is that cuscadi scales are custom made to order so there is a longer wait time but you get exactly what you want. Wilkins only sells what he currently has in stock, and they sell out fast, so you better hope he has what you want, or be prepared to wait an indeterminate about of time for them.

Either way, you really can't go wrong.

Have both and love both. Cuscadi are less blocky while Wilkins are more substantial. I love them both for exactly that reason.......they both turn a Ritter knife into a wonderful tool to hold and use. I've gotten rid of all my plastic scales and now have either Cuscadi or Wilkins....except for the the two Gold Class Griptillians that have carbon fiber. Luke at Cuscadi is wonderful to deal with, but Kevin is also a pleasure....communication is great, but waiting on production and/or shipping certainly tries the patience!!

I have orders pending with both Wilkins (Orange G10 Mini Grip Scales) and Cuscadi (Carbon Fiber Micarta Mini Grip Contoured Scales) and have been very pleased with the customer care and communication. I will have to chime after the scales arrive regarding quality of the scales, but from what I have read and seen on this forum I am confident hey will meet and even beat my expectations.

Luckily Wilkins had some small black aluminum grips in stock so I grabbed em! They look pretty nice!

Wilkins really transforms a mini-grip into a custom knife. You can't beat the feel of these in hand. Much better than stock. Eventhough I am a minimalist and they add some bulk, it is worth it.
