Woohoo! Yesterday was a great day. I finally got my backordered Ritter Grip which I ordered a month ago or so. I also finally got a Lone Wolf D2! My family was in town and we went to a local knife shop, my generous dad talked me into picking up a LW D2 by going in half with me, and then he wouldn't take my money from me later!
I got my hollow grind Griptilian not to long ago, and I just had to try out the Ritter Grip. The blade shape was very appealing, so I had to try it out. So far I love it! The stonewashed finish isn't anything to fancy, my brother thought I had bought a used knife! I miss the thumb hole from my other Grip, but not too much. I haven't had a chance to give the Ritter Grip a beating yet, but I'll post once I have.
The D2 is just awesome. I've been drooling over Lone Wolf knives since I moved to Oregon, and I've also been drooling over double action autos since moving to a state where they are legal. It was a hard choice between the D2 and the Lobo, but I really like the beef of the D2 more. It's a tad bigger than my regular EDC, but it was well worth it. The clip was incredibly tight! So I spent some time working on it to bend it a little to loosen it up. I'm still adjusting to tip down carry. I love the blade geometry, and the grind is just great. I've been looking at the same D2 in the shop for a few months, so I was able to make sure it didn't have any quality issues or defects. I'm planning on adding this to my EDC and my in-the-wild rotation. I know auto's are the norm in the wild, but I'm interested to see how this Harsey design holds up to some abuse and elements. I've done some testing on the liner lock already, and it hasn't slipped yet.
I just pulled these images from the web, I'll take some of my own as I'm testing them out!
I also picked up some Benchmade Blue Lube (paraffin based) and simichrome paste to do some maintenance on my knives. I also just got some buffing compound for my stopping belt for my little Delta grinder... which is my single best knife accessory purchase. It's just amazing! (the strop and paste).
Wooo! Any particular pictures requests or tests for these two knives? I plan on comparing the two grips to each other, and the two S30V blades to each other as well.
