RealSteel knives are great but their so-called "premium S Series" line is over-priced. Stick with their basic offerings like the H6,H6-S1, H5, Griffin, Sea Eagle, Megalodon...those are all great knives.
Avoid the M Series, those are mostly SanRenMu for more money. H series, E series and T series are great.
I had the E571 and it was a great knife, especially for the money. Also a big fan of Sandvik 14C28N and wish it was available on more budget knives. I can usually keep it razor sharp just by stropping on the inside of my belt.
I'm looking at this one and was wondering if you can get a full 4 finger grip on the 4.125" frame?
I usually carry customs or midtechs, but wanted a cheaper knife to clip to my coat when doing outdoor work. I recently got a Real Steel Sea Eagle. It is incredibly impressive so far. Size, weight, ergos, action, lockup, edge holding, steel, grind, etc. All around a fantastic knife. Especially for the price!! I am going to buy a 2nd one for sure!

I can. If you are considering this knife, get it. Dollar for dollar, maybe the best knife I own.
The Sea Eagle is a great choice if you want a larger blade. This knife has one of the best flipping actions I've seen. I would also add that it's very pretty.
Sechip, if you like the blade shape of the E571, but want a larger handle, the new "H6 Elegance" scales up the E571 blade an puts it in the H6 handle with a thumbstud.
The G3 Puukko is a fine knife worth more than what I paid for it.
