My favorite knife that I own (a Ritter Grip in M390 with custom scales)

[Sharperthansticks]

While I'd someday like to own an Olamic 247 (though I've owned and sold them before), my current favorite knife in my collection is my Ritter Grip in M390 with custom scales. I bought the knife here on our folder forum, where it had its original scales. I consulted fairly extensively with Ryan (I have his email contact info but forget his handle on here), one of the guys on the forums who is famous for his custom scales, and we finally settled on scales made of shredded carbon fiber and copper. The knife feels great, looks great, and cuts well, too. All in, I think I paid about $350 or so. I'm always happy to have this knife on me, and since I got to choose my own scales, I've always considered it a contender against the midtechs.

Nice standoffs!

Beautiful! Where have you find out the standoffs?

Beautiful scales! I think the Ryan you’re talking about is deathofallthings? He makes awesome scales and someday I’ll get some for a project of my own.

Thanks to all of you, guys, and yes, Hackenslash , DOAT is the guy who made those scales. He is very friendly and giving with his time. I encourage anyone and everyone to do business with him.

Oh, and he made the matching copper standoffs, too.

Sweet knife. That is in my top 5 ever list. The Ritter grips are a great deal. Enjoy it.
