Doug Ritter RSK Mk1-G2 folder in Magnacut

[Sonnydaze]

I've just ordered this knife..
This new Magnacut folder (3.44' blade length) employs an ABLE lock, and the grip thickness is listed as 0.65".
I'm an old Spyderco nut, and the famous Spyderco PM2 (similar blade length) has a grip thickness of 0.45".
So, my question is .... WHY the greater thickness of the Doug Ritter models?
Perhaps the Doug Ritter ABLE locking mechanism requires the added thickness....??

The PM2 has thinner blade stock and the scales are flat and not contoured.

It's a very well built knife and a great design. Fantastic in the hand. Nice balance. Great blade shape.

I did sand the G10 where the clips rest on it in order to prevent them from tearing my pants. Clips are back on and it's good to go.

Would you buy this folder for EDC light use?
Previously, I bought Ontario RAT 1.5 in Magnacut. Physical disability prevented me from being able to thumb blade off hard detent. Returned folder. I've owned many nice folders in the past. Have carried Zaan for last five years, but want lighter, thinner blade for good slicer.

I have both the full size and mini. And I have the Ontario 1.5
Both Ritters are well made.
The blades on the Ritters are considerably easier to open than the Ontario. (The Ontario wants you to apply enough force that once the detent is overcome, the blade...
