Yeah, I’d be all over a mini of this. Great looking knife! Glad to see a RSK back in the game!

Nice!!! I've had mine pre-ordered from KW for a month, wondering when the pics will drop. I definitely like what I see--basically, the same or very similar design with a few minor upgrades in design. I just don't get why Benchmade would discontinue the RSK Mk1--it was clearly one of the most sought after models in its line. Puzzling...
Glad that Hogue picked up the ball, though. This will be my first Hogue. Can't wait til it arrives on my doorstep.
I suppose I'll chime in on the lobbying for a mini version, although I feel pretty confident that it's on the way.
Given that many of us will no doubt wish to replace the G10 scales with Wilkins or other after-market grips, do we know if the specs are the same on the Mk1-G2's such that the scales currently produced will fit them?

Doug Ritter and Hogue have basically put out a Griptilian clone, I’m sure it’ll be a great knife but doing this doesn’t feel or sit right.
Where is this knife made?

I like it. I was really excited by this pic because I thought it was a black & red handle!

You mean they made a RITTER Griptilian clone?

Maybe so, but I'll bet QC is better and you may even get a blade that is 1/2-way centered right out of the box. It would be nice to have a knife with no scale rub, even grinds and G10 scales at a reasonable price for a change.
Not trying to bash Benchmade as I own quite a few, but I always ask my dealers to pre-inspect the knife before shipment. I have had to send too many shitty knives back to Benchmade for repair and I sure get tired of it.

Sure looks like it. If that ain't a Ritter Griptilian clone, then I don't know what is. It says USA on the non-show side of the blade.

I agree. While I don't necessarily like the "clone" aspect of this knife, I will eventually buy one, especially if they come out with some new colors. Hogue makes great products and I want to support Ritter.

Sad to see Doug putting his name on something like this, hogue as well. Could they not come up with their own handle and lock?

This isn’t my experience with Benchmade or the experience of anyone I know personally, I’m going to reserve judgment until I’ve held and used one but I expected more of Doug Ritter and Houge, simply ripping a design in this manner is the sort of thing I expect from Ganzo on a $20 knife.
