Got my first set of Cuscadi scales in today! They're even better than I expected! Hell, even the packaging is nice. If anyone is on the fence about picking up a set of these, DO IT! They increase the feel of the grip 10 fold, and look even better!

Crappy cell phone pics:

Black CF micarta scales with GITD backscapcer.., I'm diggin' them!
 
Sweet scales man. Think i'm going to get some for my 552 too. How's that texture feel in the hand? Like it or wish you got something else?
 
Thanks man. The texture is good.., grippy without being overly aggressive.

Im very satisfied with this purchase, but my next order will be more colorful. The black and blue glow combo looks good together, but I'll be switching it up a bit on the next order just to keep it interesting.

I have a carbon fiber set for my griptilian and it totally changes the feel of the knife. Problem is, I can hardly bring myself to use it, its too nice now. Switched back to the stock scales for the time being.

I have that same problem whenever I pick up a "nicer" Knife. However, due to the durability of micarta, I don't think I'll have too much of a problem using this one. Only downside is the 552's aren't always available.., maybe I need to order a backup soon!
 
Just ordered my 552 yesterday. Looking forward to putting some Cuscadi on. How long did it take, from order to delivery from Cuscadi? Wouldn't mind upgrading my mini Ritter too. I noticed Wilkins site is back up, but for the price and looks I'd rather go Cuscadi.
 
I think the Cuscadi scales really make the Grips special. The unique Ritter blade deserves better handle scales, and these really spice the knife up. I asked a member of another Forum if these tore up pockets as the stock GTX can do and was told they don't. Thanks to the OP for the good pics of these on his knife!
 
I placed my order on 2-16, and got them yesterday. Pretty damned quick, especially since they're made in Germany.

I had also been eyeballing the Wilkins scales, but I liked the options available from Cuscadi better.

Smooth "gentleman"-type CF scales on a beater blade just didn't fit right.
