Show me your griptilian!!

I posted pictures in the thread I started about my find, but figured what the heck, I'll post it up here too :D

I finally found an early Mini in 440C that is in very good condition. I really like this knife. It has had very minimal use, but is already smoother than even my Custom Build Mini Grip... I think it is safe to say, this is without a doubt the smoothest knife I have ever owned...

Here is my 551 Griptilian outfitted with a new set of Death Grips from deathofallthings.

 
Yea it the REI green G10 S30v. I reprofiled the edge to 40 degrees on a Lansky up to the 2000 grit super sapphire stone and stropped it for about 15 min and got the mirror edge. It holds for a crazy long time, my only complaint is the blade is slightly off center to the left and it bugs me cause I cant get it centered and I have tried every trick I know.

Can't post pics, but retired my 551 with 440c blade after about 10 years of hard used, still in great shape. Gary
 
My Ritter Grip. I personally believe that, dollar for dollar, this is the finest pocket knife available on the market today.
