U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Doug Ritter recalls that about the second or third email he received after announcing the introduction of his acclaimed RSK® Mk1-G2 was a query asking when a “Mini” version would be available. Those sorts of emails, texts, and posts have continued unabated. Ritter is pleased to announce that his Mini-RSK® Mk1-G2, manufactured by Hogue, is now available exclusively from KnifeWorks.com. The everyday low price is only $139.95 with FREE continental U.S. Ground shipping.
Sales of all Doug Ritter knives and gear support Ritter’s Knife Rights efforts.
The fully ambidextrous Mini-RSK® Mk1-G2 (Generation 2) features Ritter’s signature 3-D milled G10 handle, Ritter’s highly regarded wide-chord, high flat-ground drop point blade in super-premium CPM 20CV steel, 2.9 inches long, the ambidextrous ABLE™ Lock, and other refinements. Compact and svelte, it weighs in at just 2.6 ounces. Despite the smaller size, it is still a Doug Ritter knife you can bet your life on™.
The Mini-RSK® Mk1-G2 is a compact, more conveniently sized version of Ritter’s highly praised original. It is a superb utility folder and it will meet blade length restrictions that in some jurisdictions or locations still limit carry knives to a maximum three-inch blade length (albeit fewer than before Ritter started Knife Rights).
Ritter notes that creating the Mini-RSK® Mk1-G2 was not as easy as just scaling down the full-size RSK® Mk1-G2. “The smaller the knife, the trickier it is to get the ergonomics right. But, with Hogue’s perseverance, we have created a Mini without sacrificing stellar ergonomics and performance.”
The Mini-RSK® Mk1-G2 is manufactured in the USA and is covered by Hogue’s recently updated limited lifetime warranty that accommodates owner maintenance and disassembly.
The Mini-RSK® Mk1-G2 is initially available with either a Black or Orange G10 handle and a stonewashed CPM 20CV high carbon powder metallurgy stainless steel blade. It is available exclusively from KnifeWorks at an everyday price of only $139.95 with FREE continental U.S. Ground shipping.

TimmC, you are correct. Although, years ago Benchmade used to produce this model for Doug Ritter with some differences from these until they stopped production. Then he went on to now produce his model with Hogue knives. IMO the full size Ritter is a beast and has the upper hand to the BM Griptilian. I’m going to pick one of these up for sure.
If I saw this in person I would have to say I was looking at an updated Benchmade Mini Grip.
