"Gryptonite" |
Hi2all,
as hard to believe as it may be, I'm fairly new to BM and their knives but they are quickly becoming my favorites, particularly the Axis lock models  Recently I purchased the "gold" edition of BM's 551 Griptilian, designated as 551BK-101. The knife is a dream and as much as I love the standard 551, this is definately a cut above in terms of materials and even fit (operation). The action of the blade is smooth and almost silent in comparison to the standard 551. Very nice - this one's a keeper and I won't be selling or trading it, period  I've written a more detailed review over at KF with some juicy pics, like this one   cheers 8^) |

Full-sized M4 Ritters are no longer available, I'd have to buy it from an external source... . I do have a standard Ritter (stonewashed S30V) on the way but I won't be hacking up my 551-101; for better or worse, I like it "as is" and won't be modding it. I will however be playing with my regular 551 as well as incoming RSK Mk1 with third-party grips (Wilkins, Cuscadi). Speaking of which, I'm not familiar with "Nirvana" grips; I did a quick search but came up empty-handed, so I'd be grateful for a link, thx I had a quick look at the 806, nice, but I'd probably go with an 805 if I could find one. Both are a bit bigger than what I usually work with... heck, they're bigger than a 710 and I'd say the 710 is normally my comfort limit with "portable" folders...  The 805/806 are 5.5" closed, vs. the 710's still manageable 5" - both compared to my favorite size of The Griptilian at 4.5" Last but not least, you lost me on the "S90V Millie"... anyone care to clue me in, please...?

I don't think he meant a grip company named Nirvana, I think he meant nirvana in its literal sense. Grip awesomeness.
