I've heard good things about this Griptilian and I'm trying to research this knife the best I can before I decide to buy it. Any owners out there who love it, or hate it?
 
I don't think you'll find many people who hate it. It's an improvement (better steel, blade shape and grind) over the already great Griptilian. I think most people consider it a good knife. Some might think the upgrades aren't worth the price difference with a regular Griptilian, others will disagree.
 
You will not regret it. Been EDCing one for over 4 years, still sharp and in great shape.
 
Not too many negatives about the knife from what I can tell, and people seem to be very happy with them. I think I'm going to hunt one down.
 
The negatives I have heard have been related to BM's recent drop in QC. I have heard that BM is fixing these issues (mainly heard that blades havent been centered).

That being said, I still want one.... I have been holding off but will hopefully be pulling the trigger soon. I grabbed one of those sprint run mini grips with a cerekoted M4 blade and have loved it... but i wish I grabbed a ritter since that was what I originally wanted.

I think a ritter with some wilkins scales would be the ultimate knife.... ( i think the mini grip scales are a little too "bulbous" and the wilkins take care of thise) but i absolutely love the axis lock and blade shape.

Now... do I order the coated or non coated s30v......hmmm....

non coated for me.
 
My only issue was that after I got the first one I liked it so much I bought two more.
 
Yes.

Great grind, profile, steel and ergonomic griptilan handle.
 
I got myself an orange mini Ritter a while back and I really like it. I'm thinking about some Wilkins scales to really take it to the next level. I vote "yes". :D
 
I have had my mini ritter grip for about 2 weeks now and it hasnt left me pocket. Yesterday i got my wilkins scales and now its a whole new improved beast. The s30v is the best ive had so far it takes and holds a great edge(only touched up once after cutting a ton of boxes). Do not question it you should buy one :D

Love mine :thumbup:. Stock scales are fine but for me the Wilkins scales definitely bump them up a notch or two ;).

If you want to buy one you better do it now before they decide to raise the prices on those too. :)
 
I don't like the stock grip on the full size grips and won't pay the price for custom grips to replace them. The mini on the other hand is perfect. It's about as perfect an EDC as they make. I like the Ritter blade shape and steel but the standard is just as good for a lot less. I have both in a mini and my Ritter gets a bulk of the carry, but that's because it's yellow.
