After reading a lot of posts about the Ritter Grips being the favorite EDC's for a lot of folks, I odered an MK1 folder and MK3 fixed blade from Aeromedix, which I guess is the only place that sells them. I've got several regular Grips in 440 and 154CM so I'm sure the S30V will be great as well. I like the wider blade of the Ritters and prefer stonewashed blades when available. I imagine the MK1 will work it's way into my EDC rotation quickly. I'll post pics when they arrive.

Good choices, I really like mine. I have a mini-Ritter that is in my work EDC rotation and I've used a full sized Ritter in the woods many times. The large BM nylon belt pouch is a good fit for the full size Mk 1. That one is just a bit big to be comfortable in my RFP.
I don't have a Mk 3 yet, but it's only a matter of time. I gave my only FB to a buddy heading for AK so I need to replace it and the Ritter is at the top of my list to take its place.

Got my Ritters last night, really nice. I like the wide blade on the folder, should be a great slicer. Very smooth action and the axis lock is a winner as usual. The MK3 fixed is slick, very light for it's size (4.5" blade). It is similar to the RAT RC-4 in feel, which is a nice compliment. MK3 weighs 5.5 oz with a 1/8" thick blade. RC-4 weighs 7.5 oz with a 3/16" blade. With the light weight, the MK3 will make a fine hiker knife (so will the RC-4). I'll take pics this weekend. Again, thanks for the recommendations, I think I'll enjoy the Ritters.
