Just got my Orange Griptilian today...I have to admit its was worth every penny...solid..love that axis lock..sweet blade..perfect size for all my needs...now for sh@ts/giggle should I get the mini-grip.?

When you get the mini....you wont be using the full size so much.

How much size difference is there? Like Blade length and OAL. I have been trying to decide between that knife and a Spidie of equal size.

These are the Ritter versions, but here's a mini and full together.

Personally I love my full sized grip, but I will not own a mini. I find the mini's handle to be to small for me and very uncomfortable. I have handled them but just do not like 'em. But congrats on that full size you soon find that it never leaves your pocket.

I have had both and for me the mini is much more comfortable to carry as a edc than the full.

i like the full size better.. i just gave my od black blade mini grip to my brother last night as his first knife and he loved it ... its a great knife just a bit too small for my likings ... hopefully i converted him into a new knife person with the bencmade quality and axis fun!!!

In answer to your real question, get the mini too.....I love both of them.

and I am sure you will too..

Of course, the only thing better than an Orange Grip', is and Orange Ritter Grip'

marthinus · Nov 3, 2009

I prefer the large over the mini. The mini is just uncomfortable for me. congrats on a great knife!

blackjackdan08 · Nov 3, 2009

Still think of getting the yellow handle mini grip or possibly the Boker Plus M-type knife..or maybe both..lol

depends on the chore, the mini is a ton of fun in a small package, wife has the pink mini grip, she loves it.

I'd say for most stuff the mini works just fine, with a plain edge being the best.

blackjackdan08 · Nov 3, 2009

I would most likely use the mini-grip as my EDC knife and the full size Grip as more of a recreation knife....i like the bright handles ...gives it a nice flare..

I just got an orange Grip also. It really fills up the pocket, (Hey big fella is that an orange Grip, or are ya just glad to see me?

), but that's ok for weekends. I wasn't sure if I would like an orange knife but I do. Also, it is my first Axis knife, and I am loving that system.

I bought some orange scales in a private sale on another forum. I have put them on the 550HG that lives in my firejacket.
