Shown here is quite possibly my favorite of the Mini Griptilian knives; the Doug Ritter edition. Why is this my favorite? Well, in simple terms, it's all about the blade!

* S30V blade steel! Gotta love that...

* Stonewashed finish. I can't help it; this is my favorite blade finish of all-time. And Benchmade did a magnificient job on this particular knife.

* The blade shape on the Ritter editions is absolutely ideal for me. It does everything...EVERYTHING...perfectly. There isn't a better blade shape that I've ever encountered.
