[@tonyochoa7097]

Got one on the way,will definitly be my traveling peice,as it's legal in all jurisdictions

[@daddygc5814]

Great knife,ihave this knife had to sand the sharp edges on thumb studs,no other issues

[@michaelniedorf8046]

Love it best small knife in my opinion

[@John-tv5fh]

Awesome well made knives I make the Screws and hardware for them :)

[@Stassa23]

Dang that’s super cool 👌🏻

[@justonemoreknaf]

8/10 review 😋 Got a Black/Black full size coming tomorrow. One 9V battery would have made this a 10/10.

[@Stassa23]

Jason F yeah I ended having to get an electrician to come fix it because there was a short in the hard wire backup to the smoke detector

[@mickkeim4142]

Are you talking about changing the thumb studs? And what? Sanding down the FRN? I get the sharpening choil though. Yes, I would like to see the results of your regrinds. I like a thin blade. I’m not out there chopping wood with my knives....lol.

[@michaelstevenson1735]

I’m loving mine after making the fixes you mentioned. The clip was a hot spot in my small hands. A Bugout clip works great and is much more comfortable. For the price and who the proceeds support, I don’t think there’s a better option.

[@randyf.9188]

They scaled down everything but the clip. I agree with you on the hardware. I'm exchanging mine for the orange, going to dye it denim blue or black.

[@Stassa23]

Randy F. I almost got the Orange to do you he same thing so if you decide to go with the denim blue let me know what color it turns out 👍🏻

[@randyf.9188]

@@Stassa23 Will do, just sent the other one back 👌

[@susanjavier2008]

Got my Orange mini last week and I love how smooth and slicey out the box, Thanks for the video

[@mjc7778]

I got the same one. Awesome knife. I agree slicey and smooth action. Great grip and ergonomics for a small blade

[@havoso]

I want either this one or a benchmade freek 3.6 , or cold steel ad10!!!!what should I get

[@franklara2050]

will this blade fit into a mini grip?

[@edsaban572]

This or decka?

[@havoso]

Regular sized Rsk ? Or benchmade freek m4?

[@Stassa23]

Chicago 23 is go with the Freak in M4 mainly because I prefer it over 20cv but that’s just my preference. You can’t go wrong with either one

[@havoso]

Stassa23 great minds think alike !!!!!

[@Stassa23]

Chicago 23 👌🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@MrSATism]

I’d love to see more of Brian’s (transparent knives) regrinds! I was planning on sending off either the deka or s90v mini freek to him so I’d love to see how those would’ve turned out! Side note: I talked with him for a slipjoint, which he politely declined. He’s a very lovely person!

[@jakegay5753]

Where did you get the s90v mini freek?

[@garyjacobs2789]

Mine is out for delivery today . I can't wait to get home . Nice reveiw

[@jerrymillett3895]

Sounds like pullin a plastic strip out the back of an Evel Knievel toy outta the pocket. Is it more grippy than the 1 (large)? Thanks Nick enjoy

[@Stassa23]

jerry millett not sure I’ve never handled the large

[@jerrymillett3895]

Stassa23 ok, thanks. Enjoy

[@robertschafer1151]

Just received mine this week, its awesome. It slices very well.

[@timyoung715]

Yup I would like to see the regrinds! And would like his info if he does it as side work. I’ve been thinking for awhile now about getting my Olamic busker reground. Cause I think it would be even better with a thinner grind

[@Stassa23]

Tim Young check a couple of videos after this one I did a video on the regrinds and I put his information in the description 👍🏻

[@The122979]

Nick, I for one would like to see the re-grinds you get back. And your mods to this knife. ✌️

[@Stassa23]

The122979 I have a mod video that may be uploaded in the next day or so and once I get the mods done to the mini RSK I’ll try to do a video on it as well👍🏻 I plan to do a video of the 3 knives I got regrinds on since several of y’all were interested in seeing them 👌🏻

[@The122979]

Stassa23 Nick, I would especially like to see what you do under the clip. With the rough scales. I’ve been on the fence with this knife for that reason. Thanks

[@The_Murmanator]

I removed the clip on mine and spent less than a minute with a piece of sandpaper taking the sharp tips off the scales. I agree with you that they are way too aggressive, but it’s an easy fix although one that should have been addressed during the manufacturing process. Other than that, I think it’s an amazing knife for the price!

[@Stassa23]

Mr. Love I agree 100% and I’m glad to hear that the aggressive texture didn’t just bother me because I am always weary to talk about that because I know my hands are already messed up and super sensitive but I’m

[@Stassa23]

Mr. Love I’m also really enjoying mine I’m glad they decided to go with the thinner blade stock. I plan to fix the scales and extend the sharpening choil on mine and eventually I’ll probably send it to get a regrind because I go my Deka done and it cuts like an absolute laser beam now 👌🏻

[@JackGHobbies]

REALLY appreciate this review Stassa. As usual. Had the pre-order in my shopping cart waiting to make a decision. Mahalo!

[@jeffsmith6441]

Got mine today in black. I love it!

[@dphill4762]

That oval on the scale on mine is the same way. I put a bug out clip on but I think that spot needs some attention so it slides in and out of the pocket better. I really like the knife though. Nice review, as always Stassa

[@Stassa23]

d phill same here and I plan on sanding mine this week 👌🏻

[@tonyochoa7097]

Just bend out the clip a bit

[@mannyz5307]

Great vid. I always enjoy your take on knives. What are you using to smooth the scales? It sounds like a good vid. How to fix or modify your knife in detail. What do you think?

[@Stassa23]

Manny Z I’ll probably start sanding by hand and if that doesn’t cut it I’ll use a slack belt on my grinder. I’ll try to see if there is a way I could do a DIY video showing the mods it’s just really hard because my lighting in there is terrible for video and sanding g10 gets really dusty especially on the grinder and I don’t want to mess up my camera so I’ll see if I can come up with a good method 👌🏻

[@mannyz5307]

@@Stassa23 It's obvious that I know nothing about working on knives. Yeh, dusty and dirty from sanding. I guess some stills after stopping at strategic points in the process. Good for us to see, not so good if you want to finish in a timely manner. Before and after pictures are probably best. With an explanation of the process. Thank you for taking the time to answer my stupid question.

[@Stassa23]

Manny Z only stupid questions are the ones never asked 👍🏻

[@111111111Tiger]

6.875" a bit small for me. I will check out the non mini...

[@Stassa23]

111111111Tiger the bigger one is awesome but I’m just the opposite 👌🏻

[@jamesstraub4981]

Thanks for the review bro. Literally JUST unboxed mine a few minutes ago. It's awesome, can't wait to put it to use and carry it a bit..

[@caldrenfitzpatrick3308]

Looks like such a sweet knife...

[@mjc7778]

Great review. I always enjoy your take on a blade. I personally find the Ritter Mini much more pleasant to cut with than the Bugout because of the rounded handle. My biggest gripe is the rough G10 and the clip going in and out of the pocket. There is the pocket destroyer sound. I completely agree with you there. On the orange the match the pivot and the rest of the hardware.

[@davidmarshall7752]

Just pre-ordered an orange one-- wish there was a Mini orange w/ black blade.

[@BrentonCarr]

Great review. You hit all the talking points I look for in a review. This is now on my list. Do you like the deka or this better?

[@Stassa23]

EDC elephant there both great knives the main difference in the two is the Deka has flat scales and a clip that caused a hot spot for me a the RSK has 3D contoured scales and a good deep carry clip but the scales are way more aggressive in that middle part. So if I had to chose one or the other I’d have to go with the Mini RSK since the proceeds go to support the Knife Rights organization 👌🏻

[@TNea0926]

Did you ever smooth out the g10? Would love to see pics if you did. Can shoot you my email for some pics!

[@0zmosis2001]

I had the Doug Ritter vinyl variation that was made by Benchmade and I absolutely loved it with its FRN scales nice full flat grind slicey blade and was he treated very wellso I've been debating on buying one of the new ones that's made by hogue with g10 and

[@Stassa23]

osmosis 01 I had 2 followers f the original ones from Benchmade I had the S30v version and the M390 one and I loved them as well. I preferred the aesthetics of the the blade on the Benchmade a little more but the mini Benchmade version was just barley to small for my hands and the Hogue mini fits my hand absolutely perfect so that was a huge win for me 👌🏻 I also love how this knife purchase is helping to fund Knife rights 👍🏻

[@Teddy-fx6fx]

Would like to see grinds👍

[@Stassa23]

Teddy1093 I plan to do a video of them soon 👌🏻

[@michaelpattie9244]

Great review thanks

[@darshankumardave7485]

Please do a video on reground knives. Thanks

[@chads9179]

I'd like to see the ones you sent for a regrind. You should put a new battery in your smoke detector.

[@kevink.2719]

Awesome looking knife 👍

[@matthewharris7373]

Hell yeah let’s see those laser beams from Brian glidin through some cardboard! Thanks.

[@carysorensen3029]

You’re right. I’ll pass on this one.

[@Sugardaddy501]

Too many old folks here vote in PA to unban autos; so thats not happening.

Old folks dont have problems with knives,its the younger liberals and their ideas
