I am beyond satisfied with the purchase of the mini rsk. Came well packaged, shipped same day. Comes with its own pouch and helps fight for knife rights. The knife itself is just simply outstanding. It has to be the best value in a high quality edc available. The blade shape is amazing. Sharp as a scalpel but has just enough thickness to accomplish virtually all every day tasks. Sharpest knife out of the box I’ve purchased. Materials, workmanship, feel of the g10 all on point. Very impressed. I may buy another to gift and also pick up the full size. You will not be disappointed if you purchase this knife.

Love this knife. It is a small one but it feels good in the hand. I'm excited to carry it for a few weeks in place of my usual (para3). The handle has some seriously aggressive knurling that I kinda like. The blade was extremely sharp upon arrival. Sharper than any of the multiple Spydercos I've ordered over the past couple years. Action is smooth as silk and, as a lefty, I really appreciate the lock mechanism. This is a fun knife to play with and to have handy!

For weeks now I have been looking for a benchmade doug ritter mini griptilian. All overpriced or very hard to find. I found the mini rsk which was my next option.

First let me start off with what I originally planned to do. I was going to do a blade swap on my 555bk-1 mini griptilian with the knifeworks doug ritter 20cv blade. It did not work for anybody who was wondering because the liners differ between the mini griptilian & the mini hogue ritter. The mini griptilian has full steel liners, where as the mini hogue ritter has partial liners like the full size griptilian & the full size hogue ritter. Another issue with the swap, the tip of the hogue ritter was not fully flush with the scales, it would stick out a good amount of the scale when closed.

At this point after the blade swap shenanigans, I've decided to use the mini rsk as is and it is amazing. Slightly bigger than the mini griptilian & a more ergonomic grip on the scale shape itself. Since receiving my mini rsk, I've retired my mini grip and I carry the hogue mini ritter now and I love it. I highly recommend

Blade centered perfectly and very sharp. Lightweight but still enough size to fit comfortably in hand and carry all day. Thumbstuds have groves which make the smooth blade deployment quick and consistent. Clip is very sturdy. Very happy with my purchase plus quick delivery. Highly recommended.

After purchasing the regular-size RSK, I had to buy the Mini-RSK. The amazing qualities of the larger is now shrunken down into a more compact package, especially if your area has size restrictions. Excellent build quality is what you come to expect from Hogue & this is no exception. Not really any negatives I can think of for this knife.

Pretty happy with this knife. Arrived with a very nice, very sharp edge. The action was perfect. Looks very nice. My only complaint is the clip, I had a problem with the clip bending slightly the first week of carrying it. It was just enough to make it unusable. Kudos to knifeworks, I called them and they sent a replacement out right away, free of charge.
This knife would have been 5 stars if it wasn’t for my problem with the clip.
I also wish it was available with the red g-mascus scales. I ended buying the mini in the red and it looks fantastic!

Absolutely perfect straight out of the box. Action, lock , blade center are flawless.
Blade is Razor sharp. I prefer this over my Zt 609 / 452 and Benchmade 940-01 2004 / mini freak for every day use. 1/2 the cost and better action out of box then all of um IMO. This is a gem.

I already have the large version of this knife and like it very much, so when I saw this smaller version become available I had to have it. It’s top notch for the price in most every way with the exception of an uneven edge. I did take the time to re-shape the edge and now it’s even and scalpel sharp. This size is perfect for an edc used for light duty daily tasks. G10 scales feel great in the hand. Blade action is smooth with no side or vertical play. Hard to beat.

Out of the box very sharp and beautifully ground blade. The action is butter smooth. Solid lock up and dead on center. The scales provide a nice texture but not too aggressive of a grip. I also have the Deka Wharncliffe and am very impressed with the quality and ergonomics of both knives. Hogue knifes are an outstanding product and great value.
