Still have your Ritter Grip in M390?

The large is a bit heavy and bulky but nice. The small is exceptional. I rank it with my favorite small carry knives (small Sebenza/Inkosi, Les George ESV) but never seem to carry it for some reason. I really should.

I am the same way. Do you think they will continue to increase in value?
 
This was a great response, thanks for the great backup.
I reprofiled the edge this weekend, with the diamonds, pow! it cuts so much better. It was not as hard as I expected.
UP, with M390!
 
I gifted mine to my son, his first good knife. Wearing some Putnman g10 scales at the moment.

It’s hard to say. I’m always surprised how knives increase in value an hour after they are discontinued. There are usually good alternatives available. People always want what they can’t have.
 
I wish I had one, still kicking myself for not purchasing a few KW while they were discounted.
 
I really do not care if it increases or decreases in value, I have no plans to let it go.
The Ritters have a better blade geometry than the mini grips and that's a big plus for me.

I just preferred the blade shape. I bought mine from Knifeworks a long time ago and wish I bought the one in M390... They seem to be going anywhere from $200-$300 in like new or new condition. I'm sure the custom scales, etc bring more money for resale as well.

Wow, that much with the factory scales? I’m in that range for each of mine with Wilkins Ti scales. I would not pay that for one with plastic scales. You can get some fine knives in that price range.
 
Never gonna sell my Ritter grips.Love how the blade is ground thinner than a regular. Cuts effortlessly
 
Down to 3 M390's.... Wish I had saved the others. No glamor shots, just 3 blades on a towel... A matching set with custom DOAT scales (still need to add the silver screws/pivot and clip) and a full sized with Cuscadi Carbon Fiber scales.

My Ritter Grip is in my edc rotation currently and is my favorite Benchmbade in my collection. I m glad I have a back up. Great user.
 
I still have mine and carry it occasionally. I believe it's one of the only Benchmades I still own.
 
I have a large with orange scales with m390. Also have a small with orange scales but in s30v. Love them both and wouldn’t sell either.
 
Sold mine. Love the blade design, finish and steel.

That said, there is just something about the Mini that i don't care for. Hate the feel of the plastic scales and overall the kmife doesnt fit my hand well.

That said, i realize a lot of people love it so I'm definitely in the minority on this on.

It's all about supply and demand. $300 with the factory scales is high but $200 will sell within minutes. Another example is m390 ZT 0562cf, the steel of which is the same as 204p, but it will sell faster and higher than 204p ZT 0562cf.
