Hey guys, I don't own a Sebenza but I do have a Mini Ritter Grip. Looking at pictures, the two blades look extremely similar. The Ritter grip has more belly (which I like) and the grinds are very much the same. If anyone has both could they please chime in? Thanks
 
I have a small seb and had a mini ritter. The contour of the edge was the same, but the blade stock of a seb is much thicker which it's why it has a hollow grind (i think it has a hollow grind atleast). The ritter is a high flat
 
I have a mini ritter and a small sebenza, too. The sebenza is hollow ground, the ritter is flat ground (technically a saber grind, but pretty high). The ritter has a much thinner edge. Otherwise, they are very similar in size, although the small sebenza handle allows a full grip, while the mini ritter does not have enough handle and you can't get all your fingers on it.
 
I own both a small micarta sebenza and both mini and full size Ritters. I would say that the Ritter blade profile makes for a slightly better slicer whereas the Sebenza makes for a bit more sturdy a blade. Both are some of my all time favorite blade profiles and unless you're looking for a massively thick blade either will provide you with a great EDC.

Also the mini Ritter handle could definately work just fine for you as not everyone has the same size hands. For me it worked fine but I would have preferred a tiny bit more room for manipulation. After getting wilkins grips for it though it added just enough extra length to be perfect. I have medium sized hands.
