Okay, So I Just Got My Orange Ritter Griptilian, I Love The Thing.
But, I Like The ZT 0350 And Have A Chance To Trade The Grip For One.

Which Do You Guys Think Is Better And Which Would You Prefer?

I Know Everyone Has Their Own Opinions.. And That's All I'm Asking For Is Opinions.
I Really Like The ZT 0350 But The Width Is One Of The Issues For Me.

I Like A Knife That Fits Well In The Hand And I'm Sure I Can Get Used To The Width.

Which Would You Go With?
Keep The Ritter Or Trade For The ZT 0350?
 
I'm not a fan of recurves. I sharpen my own blades and recurves are an issue.
 
+1!
I Also Sharpen My Own Knives.
I Have a Lansky Type System With Stones, And Can Use It, But I Then Touch Up My Fresh Edge On My Fine Stone On My Stone Set, And The Recurve Would Have An Issue With This...
But It's Still An Awesome Knife, And I Don't Know What To Do.
 
I personally think that the ZT350 is one of the best knives on the market for the price! I say Trade it!
 
Zt hands down. The griptilian's handles just don't agree with me. Recurves are really no problem once you learn how to sharpen them. If you have a sharpmaker its just as easy as any other blade only you just use the corners of the stones for the recurve. The belly can be sharpened on the flats like any other knife. If you don't have a sharpmaker I suppose you could just use the edges of the stones you have although I would definitely recommend picking up a sharpmaker as it makes sharpening any blade shape a breeze.
 
I Actually Have Used Different Sharpening Systems And Have Owned Many Knives Sharpened On Different Systems, And Really Like My Way Of Sharpening The Best. So I Think I'll Stick With That.
And I'm Thinking I'll End Up Trading This Knife. But I'm Not 100% Sure.
I'm Not 100% Sure What's Holding Me Back Either.
 
i just got the 350 in the mail and i love the thing its pretty beefy but it fits in the hand and just feels great.
I suggest you try one of em.
 
Ah! Another Thing I Just Remembered That I Don't Like About The 0350.
I Like A Knife That's Handle Length Fits The Width Of My Hand Well And I Have A Good Grip With My Entire Hand.
When I Hold The 0350 The Handle Is The Exact Length Of The Width Of My Hand And Feels A Little Odd Lol.
But I Still Like The Knife, Though I Don't Like That Part.
 
I say keep the Ritter Grip. It is definitely a knife you will regret trading, even if you like the 0350. Save the money for the 0350, or see if you can borrow one from someone and carry it for a while to decide if you really want it. I have had trade regret on enough knives that I know I will not trade certain ones, and my Mini-Rittergrip is definately one of them. Having custom g-10 handles for it certainly helps though. I say get some Wilkins or Cuscadi grips for your Ritter Grip, they make the knife absolutely incredible. IMO of course.
 
I had both and still have the Ritter Grip. Both are great knives and I think it's more personal preference. My 350 had a tight tight clip that made carry harder and I preferred the grind and blade shape of the Ritter.

But again, both are awesome blades IMO....
 
I've had and used both. Both are phenomenal knives. The stonewashed S30V flat grind on the Ritter is one of my favorites for a user. Easy to sharpen too. Carries well, bulletproof lock, etc. I ended up getting rid of my 0350 user because of difficulties sharpening the blade. A drop point on the 0350 would be the heat.
