Okay, this was done on a Ritter RSK, but should apply to any full size Grips.

First, the clip: Grab it with pliers and pull. This will relieve the death grip it exerts on pants and allow a smooth draw without bringing a portion of pocket along with it. I also recommend sanding the checkering directly below the clip contact point.

Next, the "cheap" sounding scales: Using a Fallkniven U-2, carve away the sharp edge of the blade slot. This eliminates the cheap "skrikk- skrikk" plasticky sound that emanates when you spliff the slot with your thumb which is hard to avoid because the sound is so awful to begin with and it is simply something you must do regularly just because you can't believe it sounds so bad.
The modification of the blade slot to a smoother angle results in a more substantial and more quasi-pleasant and richer sounding "SMUTCHH SMUTCHH" when spliffing the slot with your thumb.

Finally, the sharp irritating little ridgy things on the handle: Again, using the Fallkniven U-2, carefully carve down those grabby things FOR SURE on the back of the handle that de-skin your wrist when you put your hand in your pocket for anything OTHER than getting to the knife. This will allow accessing your pocket change with no loss of skin.

As a bonus mod, I also removed the ridgies on the FRONT of the handle bottom with no apparent loss of grip and so far I haven't lost the knife.

The ridgies on the front part of the handle front are OK. They seem to assist in gripping while cutting.

:D
