I am hoping to connect with another member in my area in southeastern Wisconsin. Maybe someone who collects or has a few knives they rotate carrying. I currently have a few folding knives I am looking at to purchase for an EDC blade. I'm not going to ask which one to go with because I have read good reviews from the BladeForum community on the individual knives already. I would rather not have it turn into another thread on this blade vs that blade, there are enough of those floating around for me to read 
The two folding knives that I am interested in:
Ritter Mini Grip
Paramilitary 2
I realize they are very different from each other. My main concern is weight(trying to keep it under 4 oz.) I like the idea of a compression lock but have not used one personally. I have tried the axis lock and I feel it would work fine for me. The only knife I currently use and EDC is a plain Skyline. I like it a lot but would prefer one with a little better blade steel. One day I am hoping to get the opportunity to buy the Bladeforums Version of the skyline 1760BFC. That Would be awesome
So my main question would be are there any members willing to meet with me so I can hold either of these knives in my hand? I am limited to purchasing only one knife at this time so buying both are not an option for me although I wish I could. I have tried a few local shops but none have either mentioned blade in stock. I would obviously drive to you so you are not using fuel or too much of your personal time. I live in the Racine,WI area and work in the Franklin, WI area so maybe there is someone in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, Kenosha or surrounding areas that owns one or both of these knives that I could handle for a few minutes?
Any help is much appreciated!
