My new Ritter Mini with Wilkins G10 Scales! These custom scales are a beautiful addition to an already stellar knife. Perfect fit and finish, easy to install and very solid in the hand.

Now that is what I call a GOOD sturdy EDC, with the bonus for being able to find it if you drop it.

That is ready for WORK and I like it

Orange is definitely the hot ticket this year. That's really nice looking!

And easy to find when dropped in the grass!

Congrats on a sweet Denver Broncos slicer.

Nice, are they smooth or medium texture? How do you like the grippy-ness?

Actually, with the drought this year, those scales are almost the color of my grass

They are medium textured. I like the balance they strike between grip and not ruining my pants pocket.

If those are from his newest run, they are in fact smooth textured. They look the part as well. I really like smooth

Thanks for the pix tv, i can't wait for my set to arrive.

Sorry...they are from his latest run do I guess they are smooth. However, I probably would not use that term to describe them if asked. They have a light texture that is very nice, but not as grippy as the G10 on my Spyderco Paramilitary 2.

The word "smooth" refers to the designers offerings. He usually offers smooth, medium, or course. You're right, it has a nice subtle texture.

How is medium? Does it grip too much to the pocket? It is the same a griptilian scales or more aggressive?

Got my new (1st set) of Wilkins black Alu grips installed. Boy do they feel great. Will have to get a photo tomorrow. Looks good with with the black M4 blade. Wasn't sure how I would like the all black but it's better than I expected.

I will have to get a set of Red Alu and a satin stonewashed mine Ritter, which I have neither of.
