I am very much enjoying my Mini RSK. It has been a great replacement for my previous EDC. Smaller overall package but the same blade length. I would love to see this made with some other blade shapes I know this is Mr. Ritter's particular pattern but it would be awesome to see some other applications to the same pattern. Would love to see a Japanese Style Tanto or a sheep's foot. I know that gripptillian is an option but would rather support Mr. Ritter's work and Hogue.

This was my first experience buying from Knife works and I could not be happier. Will definitely be doing more purchasing from them in the future.

Awesome knife came razor sharp and the red handles are sweet. Only had one problem the pocket clip was bent knifeworks was very nice and sent me another and all the body screws also very pleased with my purchase thank you knifeworks you guys rock.

I bought this knife under Alot of research and consideration as to what met my criteria. I wanted a 3-in blade or less as I do need these in some restricted areas! Made in the USA. And I wanted to try a barlock . I couldn't be happier though it only has a 3-in blade the handle is big enough for my hands. I wear a size large glove if that helps. I also wanted something that didn't look tactical! The handles very grippy and the Gmascus looks cool and not as threatening as all black. The pocket clip is good minor hotspot but it's to be expected with such a small handle. I would suggest buying the Additional black clip and screws with the knife . If you don't like shiny pocket clips for a little more discreet carry! I should have done that but now I ordered them and have to pay extra shipping! Blade comes out really nice with the able lock. Easy to open and close and very fidgety. If you're into those things. The blade comes super sharp and slices like a razor blade. Overall this is a great EDC knife it would highly recommend this for someone looking for a quality knife . I couldn't be happier!

Out of the box this knife had a very sharp blade. The action was a little tight at first but loosened up very quickly. Not a knife for someone with soft hands -- there are a lot of sharp edges. The studs have cutouts for the factory's fastening tools and the G10 texture has some sharp edges around the screw holes. A nice sized knife with a very nice blade.

This is the second Doug Ritter Mini RSK MK1-G2 knives that I've bought. I LOVE them - the design is fantastic! Smoothest knife I own and I keep coming back to it as a consistent edc. Incredibly sharp, great blade shape, grippy texture on the scales and the smoothest opening and closing of any knife I own. This knife will not disappoint you!

Received this yesterday-First odd,I have bought knives from all the mainline retailers,and knifeworks has the fastest delivery consistently of any of them-kudos for that.This is my second doug ritter,I bought the full size,a little over a year ago.If I could only keep one knife,out of my thirty or so mid to high ends,it would be the one,that's how great it is.However I seldom edc it-I prefer something not over 4oz for edc.I thought the mini would be a bit small for me,but I've found that in reality it handles all my edc chores with ease,so I am very pleased with it.I noticed a comment faulting the qc on these,I personally have found that excellent.The full size did develop just a tiny bit of blade play,after some hard use,but that was easily remedied by adjusting the pivot-it was locktited,so I heated it with a hair dryer,and that took care of that.As has been said,hogues come with the best factory edge in the bussiness,and you combine that,with the thin blade stock on the mini,and you just won't beleive it,till you try it.This red masqus is one very good looking option,and I'm very happy to have gotten one,before they go out of stock,since knifeworks is the only dealer who carries them,and usually,once a certain model is gone,it's gone,so you might take that in consideration,if you're on the fence.
Anyway,have a KNIFE day,ha ha

I received my new knife yesterday and I am absolutely delighted with the product and with the whole buying experience from Knifeworks. This knife is flawless in every respect. I can find no problems with it whatsoever and I have actually examined it with a magnifying glass. The fit and finish is perfect. It looks more like fine jewelry than it does a tool. This is my first knife made by Hogue but I will assure you it will not be my last. I just cannot say enough for the quality of workmanship on this knife. I have a pretty large knife collection so I have a good basis of comparison and I can honestly say this knife is as good as any and much better than most even those costing 2 to 3 times as much as this one did. I have played with this knife for hours now and have flicked it open using the thumb studs maybe 100 times now with no soreness or abrasion to my thumb in spite of the somewhat "crisp" machining on the studs. I find the studs to be just right although I guess you could buff them a little if you like them smoother but I like them just like they are because I can get a good positive contact on them. The blade runs on washers which I like better than those that run on bearings since I live on the coast and subject to a high salt environment which I suspect would cause problems with bearings more so than washers. The knife opens lightening fast even on washers and really don't think you would notice any difference from bearings. I mean just how fast do you really need to open your knife? The handles are beautiful with the color and texture tastefully done. It's not gawdy or weird looking but has a certain character to it that I really like. I have compared this knife to some of my Benchmade knives with omega springs and the springs on the Mini RSK do seem to be a little stouter and I think that will translate into better long term durability. The texture on the scales is just right to provide a good grip even when wet. The pocket clip is a beautiful stainless steel and although just a dab tight it is not going to drop out of your pocket when you sit down like some looser ones will. Let me say again just how good the workmanship is on this knife. It's superb. The folks at Hogue are really doing it right. It makes made in the USA mean what it should. I am proud to own this knife. Sure I could have spent much more on other knives but why would I? This knife is going to be hard to beat at any price. I will say it like this: I like it so much that I plan to buy 2 more soon. The buying experience from Knifeworks was very smooth, fair price, good communication, rapid delivery. Good job and thank you very much. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

I like this series of knives. I now own four of them, two of which are mini's. I find they are just the right size for me and also like 20CV steel. The scales on this iteration is the most attractive in the series. The colors are not as vivid as the photo. My only issue on this is the thumb and lock studs are quite sharp.

I highly recommend both this knife and knifeworks. The knife looks great, was very sharp, blade was centered, and the action was perfect. Really an excellent value. I love the looks of the red g-mascus. My only wish was that it was available to order with black hardware and clip. Not a complaint, I just had to purchase the black hardware and clip separately. Looks awesome with the black hardware and clips.
