Didn't want to sidetrack BOM's thread ( awesome job again on the wave mod!). Here's the comparison between the factory plastic grip's and the G10 WilkinsGrip's. Thickness is about the same, but do to the G10 being flat and not rounded it seem's to ride much flatter in the pocket.

L-R, Trainer with Wilkins, Factory, Ritter with Wilkins. All full size.

No issues with shipping. They fit perfect. Little pricey though.

You aren't kidding on the price.

Still, looks like nice stuff.

Knowing your appreciation for Ritter Griptillians, I thought I'd post this. These were waiting for me when I got home today.

Wilkins are nice. I've had some but they are HIGH dollar. Check out these ... great quality and more reasonable.

Dude, I really wish you had just said, "You can't buy them, I made them myself." If you had, I wouldn't be trying to rationalize buying another $200+ knife. My wallet hates you.

Those all look like nice panels, but isn't one of the main reasons to buy the knife is for the ergonomic panels that come with it? It is after all called the "Griptillian". It seems like you're changing out the significant feature of the knife.

I prefer the blade and the Axis lock, the plastic grips are meh.

Thanks for sharing.

"Manix2 Scales are now available with the “Honey” pattern. This probably goes without saying but they will not fit the Translucent or pinned version. The Manix2 XL will be finished soon…….

:D

Agreed. Plus, the replacement spine is much grippier than the originals.
