The G5 Metamorph model is a stylish knife with a textured blue aluminum handle and a sleek satin finished blade. Designed by Ostap Hel, this knife from Real Steel's Gentleman Class is a front flipper with a unique and innovative design. It features a narrow 14C28N blade that opens smoothly with just one hand, thanks to the smooth ball bearing pivot. The handle and backspacer are made from lightweight aluminum, which is layered over skeletonized stainless liners to keep the weight down.
