Hi Bryan, Thanks for the review. It was a real pleasure working with Eric on this knife. We started discussing it with him a few months back now and at the time there were a few options on the table; CF was one of them which then lead to an upgrade in blade steel N690. However as we both knew, (and as many Realsteel fans and knife fans know as it happens) is that the G5 biggest problem was the 'bath tub' slip. Becuase of this the G10 version was the best option. Hope you enjoy your knife dude, again it had to be blue for the finish, still not as striking as the Alu blue finish but as LTK puts it 'big, blue and bad ass' Jamie Realsteel Knives
This is really awesome. Do you think Real Steel will ever consider making a G10 version of the Griffin Model? That knife is amazing but is also very slippery.
Glad to see Indiana knives come out with this exclusive! If you live within a reasonable distance from his shop definitely go check it out ! Hes a good guy and very easy to talk to and deal with. If you're not close definitely check out his website!
Man, I've always wanted a Metamorph. What great price too. It's just a bit long for me but I still kinda want one cause it's just really cool. Thanks for showcasing this one.
I have bought from Indiana knives before, got a sweet Kizer T1 from them. Great knife shop, fast and friendly service. If you want a Metamorph (which you should lol), go grab it from Indiana Knives.
The Metamorphs are all great knives, I can tell! However with fat hands that get in the way a lot, I’m hesitant to get one having no experience with front flippers.

Love your knives Real Steel, especially the Metamorph! Keep up the great work (and using those needle bearings!!!).
Thanks for the review, glad you like it!

Thanks for reviewing. Bought one and now it's my favorite EDC. Really loving this one.
Ordered one! Thanks.

Mine arrived, and first impressions are good. I have the mk2 version too. The grippy G10 helps. I carry these in my shirt pocket, like a pen.
I never had an issue with the original handle either but I do like the G10 on this edition! Thanks for showing it off!
Already wanting this knife but blue g10 deep carry, gotta have it. Thanks, Harry
Ordered had to. I love blue, slender carry, deep clip, smooth bearing action and price. No brainer.
One cool sleek knife that is very affordable......Nice info sir.....Good stuff....
Already ordered, even before I saw this video ;-)
I need a front flipper !!
Nice review thanks for sharing..
Ok I purchased one. I already have the aluminum one and I had to try this one. Great video.
Mine is sitting in the mailbox at home waiting!!
It reminds me a lot of the Civivi McKenna...except it’s a little longer. Very similar however for EDC.
If the similarity is that they are both knives then yes we 100% agree with you
Real Steel Knives...lol. Glad you agree with me...

I’m so tempted. I don’t have a front flipper. I like the blue g10 too. N690 is pretty decent steel
They are a really fun front flipper that won't break the bank... if you can, I say go for it. You'll enjoy it.
Never had a problem with the aluminum handle but it's cool that we get more options on a sweet knife.
Think we'll ever see a carbon fiber version?
I hope so! They're doing some cool stuff with carbon there now!
Slicey Dicers!!!!
Hoosier hospitality!
The Metamorphs are all great knives, I can tell! However with fat hands that get in the way a lot, I’m hesitant to get one having no experience with front flippers.
If you're at all front flipper curious, this and the Civivi McKenna are good places to start!
👍
The G10 version may be the most uninteresting knife design I've seen in months. The ti handle a little better. But hey it sounds like it performs.
Real Steal it is lol
