The Ultras are also hollow ground while the 520 is flat ground. ----------------- Current President Brotherhood of the 420 & Viceroy of the Knights of the Gravitator. SPTA Founding Member.

I do prefer the Mini Ultra (527) over the Mini Grip. Although they're basically the same size the ergos of the 527 fit my hand better, IMO. 350, 520, 525BK-1101, 530, 580-1102, 580 Proto, 583-1, 585-1, 710-1, 710-2, 710D2, 710HS, 722, 732, 740, 740 Proto, 741, 745, 746, 746-1201, 750, 790, 800, 800HS, 805-1101, 810, 812, 830, 831, 835HS, 840, 845, 890, 905, 907D2, 910, 910SCG, 912D2, 913D2, 12400 Proto, 12410, 14205, 14210, 40022-100.

is it just the blade thats any different than the 520? | |||
|
Forumite |
specifically are the handles the same material and all? | |||

The handle material is different. The 520 has anodized aluminum, where the 522 Ultra has textured Noryl GTX (high-strength plastic) for lighter weight. Also the 522 Ultra is a little thicker due to the molded handle material. The rest is basically the same. 350, 520, 525BK-1101, 530, 580-1102, 580 Proto, 583-1, 585-1, 710-1, 710-2, 710D2, 710HS, 722, 732, 740, 740 Proto, 741, 745, 746, 746-1201, 750, 790, 800, 800HS, 805-1101, 810, 812, 830, 831, 835HS, 840, 845, 890, 905, 907D2, 910, 910SCG, 912D2, 913D2, 12400 Proto, 12410, 14205, 14210, 40022-100.

thanks, so the handle is gonna feel like my grip, how is 440c steel compared to aus8 and 154cm? and is the grip on the ultra thjicker than a grip? thnks for the insight | |||

The handle of the Ultra is textured and has a completely different shape and feel from that on the Grip. You have to try both, if you can, to see which you like better. 440c is better steel than Aus8 and very similar to 154cm. Problem is: fully sharpened it's hard to really tell the difference between them when cutting stuff. 350, 520, 525BK-1101, 530, 580-1102, 580 Proto, 583-1, 585-1, 710-1, 710-2, 710D2, 710HS, 722, 732, 740, 740 Proto, 741, 745, 746, 746-1201, 750, 790, 800, 800HS, 805-1101, 810, 812, 830, 831, 835HS, 840, 845, 890, 905, 907D2, 910, 910SCG, 912D2, 913D2, 12400 Proto, 12410, 14205, 14210, 40022-100.
