Since there have already been a couple reviews of the full size Ritter Griptilian AKA: Benchmade RSK this will be a short, sweet, comparative review. This knife in all honesty is my second favorite folder. My favorite was my full-sized Ritter Grip. I say "was" because that knife now resides at the bottom of Cedar Creek Lake. 
Ironically I lost my beloved Ritter Grip just as the non-serialized and slightly less expensive mini Grip became available so I figured it must be a sign from the Knife Gods that I was meant truely to own the mini Grip. This knife has literally all of the same outstanding features as it's big brother. The AXIS lock, Griptillian handle, incredible S30V stone washed blade material and the brilliant wide cord drop point blade shape. I miss my full-size Ritter Grip but the new mini is a real nice substitute and it is the ideal size for EDC. I used to EDC my full-size Grip and I enjoyed it although it admittedly was slightly large for my pockets. Not the mini grip though. It was obviously made with EDC in mind and yet although it is IMO slightly small for the ideal survival knife, it would certainly get the job done. It would not be my first choice for a one and only survival knife but if it was the knife that I had then I certainly would be willing to trust my life to it. It is just as capable in every way as its big brother. The one real reservation I had in replacing my full-size Ritter Grip with the new Mini Grip was that with the smaller overall size and the slightly thinner blade thickness, that it would somehow be slightly less "strudy" than its big brother. However, now that I have had a chance to really put it to the test I must say it is actually every bit as sturdy as the full-size Ritter Grip and in my particualr case, my mini actually has a tighter blade-to-handle fit than the original full-size Grip did. All-in-all I will say that this is the toughest most truely usefull folding knife I have ever owned in the under 3" blade category!! It was $100 very well spent. Now if only I could find my full-size Ritter Grip. :grumpy:

Glad you like the mini, though.
