NEW Richlite Doug Ritter RSK Mk1-G2 models from Hogue!

A survival authority’s definitive interpretation of knives you can bet your life on™.

After 22 years of knife design, survival authority and Knife Rights founder and Chairman, Doug Ritter, is entering a new era with two new Richlite colorways and a reinvigorated partnership with Hogue Knives.

Jim Bruhns, President of Hogue Knives, stated, “We couldn’t be prouder to partner with Doug to manufacture his highly regarded knives. That this will allow Doug to continue to fight for our rights is just icing on the cake for all of us at Hogue who one hundred percent support Knife Rights.”
All RSK Mk1-G2 models are fully ambidextrous and feature CPM MagnaCut blades with Ritter’s wide-chord, high flat-ground drop point profile, Hogue’s ambidextrous ABLE Lock® and Ritter’s signature ergonomic milled starburst pattern handles. The new Blue Canyon Richlite models feature a Stone Tumbled blade, while the Redstone Richlite models debut Ritter’s first Black Stonewashed blade.

Both new Richlite models, along with Ritter’s G10 versions of the RSK Mk1-G2 and Mini-RSK Mk1-G2 will be available at Hogue Knives Booth #737 at Blade Show in Atlanta, GA, on June 5, 2026 at 10AM ET. These Doug Ritter manual models will also be available for retail customers exclusively through Hogue’s website.
