I really like the sheepsfoot blade, hole opening and especially the upgraded scales... But--it looks like the Ritter blade shape might offer more performance and since they are not making any more of them, maybe I should get one while I still can. Those of you who have both--which do you prefer?
 
I have multiple Ritters and 555s. Get the Ritter if you still can - great steel and great slicing geometry .... and it's disco'd. Then scratch around for aftermarket scales.

Whilst the steel upgrade on the 555-1 was really nice, changing from the hollow grind to a sabre grind was a huge disappointment for me. If the Ritters are all gone, I'd take hollow ground 154CM and aftermarket scales before sabre ground 20CV with factory G10 but that's just me.

I just got the Ritter yesterday and like it very much, go for the Ritter
 
I got a mini Ritter. Love it. Can't believe this model is being discontinued.
 
I have a Mini Ritter, 555HG Oval Hole in 154cm, and 555-1. My favorite is the Ritter due to the blade shape...but the sheepsfoot blades are also excellent too.
