Pulled this one out yesterday, haven't used it in quite a while. I think this is my only M390, can't remember if I liked it.
How is yours?

I have 2. I love them! I have one of DOAT's Micarta scales on one, and the other I keep stock for the weight savings and not worrying about scratching or messing up the scales. I like the more neutral grip compared to the Freek, which seems like it's bigger brother.

Fabtabulous !
Thanks for asking.
It's right up there with the greatest User pocket knives of all time which I think these three qualify. It was my first M390. I've since added a 710 in M390.

The Ritter Grip was my first knife that right out of the box it was thin behind the edge and cut like a knife should . . . and the handle is like a knife handle should be (full and grippy and not limiting in how you hold it) for instance I bought a Manix LW about that time . . . it was NONE of those things not to mention the steel was weird; like the edge would fall apart on a microscopic level. Of the two I still have the Ritter Grip and for sure NO I WON'T SELL IT.

Still have my mini-grip in M390 with some G10 Wilkins grips. Can’t see myself selling it.
 
Still have mine: full size with the stock orange plastic scales.Thought several times of selling it (and my ZT 0561) to fund a Hinderer xm-18 gen 5 sheepsfoot, but gave up every time at the last min.
 
Never had one in M390, but I still have my M2 version. No way would I part with it.

Still have and carry my mini Ritter in m390. Great little blade. Mine won't be leaving me either.
 
I still have my M390 Ritter Grip with the Orange scales too. If I knew they would be this popular when they were discontinued, I would've bought another one when Knifeworks had them in stock.
 
My orange mini Ritter will be around til either I pass or the knife does. It's probably my most carried knife, though it's taking a back seat to another M390 blade I recently bought.

One of my favorite purchases for sure. Really glad I decided to go with orange too, I almost got a black one, thankfully my senses kicked in and I remembered that orange is a badass color for knives, haha. Not all oranges are equal, but I dig the the shade my Ritter came with.

Still have two - a mini M390 wearing cf DOAT scales and a large M390 wearing black and blue G10 DOAT scales.
 
I've got a matching pairof large and small M390's with Wilkins coarse G10 scales. They're great knives that don't look, cut, or feel in hand like Griptilians. I have 6 Grips altogether--all with aftermarket scales except for my 551-1702.

I brought the mini Ritter up to Vermont with me this trip as a second carry. I pocket one or the other or both from time to time and would do so more if I didn't have so many damn knives.

I have 1 in M390 and 1 in M4. I always liked this blade better than the other Griptillians.
 
I have a full sized Doug Ritter Griptilian (Orange Scales) in S30V but will be selling it soon unfortunately. I just don't carry it and it just sits around. I'd rather see someone enjoy it.
