Real Steel Metamorph Unboxing, Overview, and Review #realsteelknives #balbachdamast

I chose The Real Steel Metamorph as my very first front flipper. When I first got this knife opening was a bit tricky, but I quickly got the hang of it. After spending some time with this absolute beauty of a knife - I learned to appreciate this opener, as it allows the blade to recess in between these gorgeous burgundy micarta scales fully, which makes this Ostap Hel design very sleek and elegant.

The Metamorph arrives in this pretty cool Artisan Cutlery packaging that also includes a nylon belt sheath and a couple of other nice accessories.

Ball-bearing pivots give the Metamorph a buttery smooth action and it always makes my day when this 3-and-a-half-inch-long Balbach Damast blade rockets open. This Damascus is pretty unique, as it was made out of the barrel steel of the Leopard One tank - which makes our blade lean heavily into tool steel territory, so it is not only gorgeous but also performs well.
