I have one in S30V and one in M2 High Speed. I have owned many knives, by many different manufacturers, but consider the Mini RSK to be one of the finest knives out there for EDC.
One of my other favourites for day to day use is the Benchmade 943 Osborne.

I have the BM 558 and I think it is a fine knife. If you do a serach, some do have chipping problems with the blade but they tend to go away after a while.
Pros:
Light to carry
Smooth as silk to open/close
Great grind good slicer
S30V last a bit longer then other steels
Cons:
S30V can be "chippy"
"Pain to reprofile"
A bit expensive compared to others in the same price range.
I personally don't carry mine anymore, but it has been sitting in my backpack. It has been replaced by my Spyderco Caly3 G-10 in PE Vg-10. I would take a look at the Caly3, the new FFG Delica 4 in G-10 (Full flat grind) and also the BM/HK 14210. Also, take a good look at the other Mini-grips such as the standard in 154CM,the new HG minis as well as the Cabellas Mini-Grip in d2. The S30V is a great steel, but some feel that the extra price doesn't really justify the additional cost.

I carry an M2 version. It is my most carried "at work" knife. Blade length rules prohibit my preferred knives.
I like it as the blade shape is "right", the blade shape seems ideal for the size IMO.
Plus, I admittedly prefer the Axis-lock over most other locks. Not a lockback person and don't trust liner-locks much anymore. Framelocks are a bit better than liner-locks, but I've had some issues.
If you can deal without a lock, a Spyderco UK is nice. In lockback form, I have a Falkniven U2 I sometimes carry - great steel and shape overcome my aversion to lockbacks, there.
