...and it's not even a Griptilian!!! Smiler

Friday up at Grand Prairie Knives in Troy, IL. I picked up a 522 Presidio Ultra Lite in 440C.

Great knife, solid lock up and razor sharp. Great handle ergonomics, and carries well for a big folder.

Here with a Ritter RSK for size.

What DJ said Chris, a non-Grip but a good choice. I like the 522 also, much prefer the handle design over that of the 520. (Even if the 520 is a classic.)

Congratulations. You're going to let us know how you rate it compared to the Griptilians.

Nope, not my first non-grip', I've had 3 730 Ares and a 710 in the past.

I think there was a 350 or 530 in the mix as well? That little boot dagger looking folder???
