Designed by Ostap Hel, it pairs a 3.50\" satin-finished 14C28N drop point — complete with a false edge along the spine — with a green 7075 aluminum handle that keeps the whole knife down to 2.64 oz. It rides on bearings and deploys from a front flipper, which is a rarer and more deliberate action than the usual thumb stud.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liner lock is hidden entirely inside the frame, so the handle reads as a single clean shape rather than a slab with a cutout. The backspacer is contoured for safety when the blade is closed, and the spine carries a milled digit stop that gives you real control for fine, close-in cuts. For anyone shopping a titanium-feel EDC folding knife, a lightweight aluminum pocket knife, or a front flipper folder, the Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5 is a lot of design for the money.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOstap Hel design\u003c\/strong\u003e — the flagship of Real Steel's G (Gentleman) class\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFront flipper deployment\u003c\/strong\u003e on a ball-bearing pivot for a smooth, unhindered opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHidden liner lock\u003c\/strong\u003e — the lock is concealed within the handle frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14C28N blade steel\u003c\/strong\u003e with a satin finish, flat grind, and false edge on the spine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMilled digit stop\u003c\/strong\u003e on the blade spine for control on smaller cutting tasks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e7075 aluminum handle and backspacer\u003c\/strong\u003e in green, keeping weight at 2.64 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTip-up pocket clip\u003c\/strong\u003e for right-hand carry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReal Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eG5 Metamorph\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eREA-G5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOstap Hel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.125\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.50\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Edge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.375\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.12\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.625\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14C28N\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Style\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDrop Point, flat grind, plain edge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSatin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.625\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.44\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7075 aluminum, green\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame \/ Liner\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLock Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLiner Lock (hidden in frame)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpener\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront flipper, manual\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePocket Clip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTip-up, right hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.64 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat blade steel is the Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5 uses 14C28N, a Sandvik stainless developed with knife makers specifically for thin, hard-working edges. It is a genuinely good all-round EDC steel: it takes a keen edge easily, resists corrosion well, and is forgiving to sharpen at home — which is why it turns up on so many working folders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you open the Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5 uses a front flipper: you push the small protrusion at the front of the closed handle with your thumb and the blade rolls open on its bearings. There is no thumb stud and no assist — it is a manual knife, and the bearing pivot is what makes the action light enough for the front flipper to work well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you close the Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePress the liner lock bar sideways to clear the blade tang, then fold the blade closed. On the Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5 the liner lock is hidden inside the handle frame rather than exposed, so reach into the relief cut in the handle to find it. Keep your fingers clear of the blade path as it swings shut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is a drop point blade?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA drop point has a spine that curves gently down to meet the tip, which puts the point in line with the cutting hand and leaves plenty of belly for slicing. It is the most generally useful blade shape there is, and on the Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5 it is flat ground with a false edge along the spine for a finer-looking, better-piercing profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5 a good EDC knife?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. At 2.64 oz with a 7075 aluminum handle, the Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5 disappears in a pocket, and the 3.50\" 14C28N blade covers everything from boxes and cordage to food prep and outdoor chores. The hidden liner lock and contoured backspacer give it a cleaner, dressier look than most working folders in the price range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do you sharpen the Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14C28N sharpens easily on almost any system. Match the factory bevel on a medium diamond or ceramic stone, work both sides evenly until you raise a burr, then strop or finish on a fine stone to remove it. Because the Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5 is flat ground and fairly thin behind the edge, it comes back to sharp quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere can I buy the Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can buy the Real Steel G5 Metamorph REA-G5 at Going Gear, an authorized Real Steel dealer.
