[Real Steel] Solis Lite Slipjoint, D2, G10

The Real Steel Solis Lite Slipjoint is a featherweight folder that doesn’t dick around—designed by Jakub Wieczorkiewicz, it’s got that sleek, futuristic bite you’d expect from a custom maker gone production. At 6.65 inches (16.9cm) open and 3.74 inches (9.5cm) closed, it’s a compact little bastard, weighing just 1.7oz (50g)—so light you’ll forget it’s in your pocket. The 2.91-inch (7.4cm) D2 tool steel blade is a sheepsfoot, satin-finished, with a razor edge that slices like it’s got a grudge. D2’s tough—hard enough to keep sharp through daily grind, not some flimsy steel that folds under pressure.

The handle’s black G10—rugged, textured just enough to stick to your hand without chewing it up. It’s slim, chamfered, with an industrial vibe—think less fluff, more function. There’s an elongated hole near the end, dropping weight and adding a touch of sci-fi cool, plus a deep-carry clip that keeps it buried in your pocket, tip-up, right-side, no fuss. Slipjoint mechanism’s non-locking—120° half-stop keeps your fingers safe, and the nail nick pops it open smooth, no fumbling. Bronze accents give it a little swagger without turning it into a show pony.

This isn’t a heavy-duty bruiser—it’s an EDC slicer, built for packages, fruit, or light camp tasks, not prying nails out of boards. Real Steel took Jakub’s brainchild and made it affordable—D2 and G10 keep it practical, not pretentious. It’s a pocketknife that feels like it’s got your back, not begging for a pedestal. Simple, sharp, and damn easy to carry.
