I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one that has a knife or knives that they always want to buy, but never do. For me, it's a Ritter Grip. Every time I plan on getting a new knife, The Ritter grip (or mini Ritter) is at the top of my list, but it is always bumped out of the way by something that I want more.
My first Knife buying decision (after I learned that there were more than just SAKs out there) was between a Ritter Mini Grip, Kershaw Leek, and Benchmade 557. I went with the Leek because the Composite blade was sweet, and I liked the assisted opening.
Next knife I bought was a 557SBK. I wanted a serrated edge and a Tanto point. But the Ritter was still on my list.
Next I wanted a larger knife. I was about to buy the full size Ritter, but someone pointed out that the D2 Paramilitary was on sale for $99 shipped and I couldn't pass it up.
After that I needed a Nice Survival knife fore hikes in the woods and such. I was looking at the Ritter, and a few fixed blades, but decided to make my own out of an old metal file and a pair of blue jeans. So once again, no Ritter Grip.
Now I have the knife bug again, and even better, the full sized Ritter comes in orange! I've always wanted an orange or yellow handled knife and now I can get the Ritter in either, depending of the size I want. But I can't stop looking at the Benchmade Sequel. I feel like once again, the Ritter grip will be pushed out of the way by something that, for the moment, I want just a little more.
So, who has the same problem?
