Like you said, it's a solid knife. From my perspective the Solis Lite is a little narrower in the handle so isn't as comfortable in use as the Luna. They have smoothed out the spine on the Solis too whereas the Luna has a ninety degree edge to use with a fire steel. The Solis blade is fantastic in use even in the D2 you get with the Lite and the tight back spring is a nice touch. In all honesty if I lost the Luna it would be replaced quick smart (after a lot of swearing), the Solis, no great rush (still a fair bit of swearing though).
I've been impressed with Real Steel, I think their designs show a real understanding of aesthetic yet practical form. Even the recent modern Rokot I reviewed seems a smartly made knife when so many other moderns are not.
Have been carrying a Solis !ite for several months. In my opinion not a pretty knife, but very functional and with very decent steel. The thin flat ground blade is a slicer.
Thanks Thrifty. Great review. I have the Luna lite and love it. I had assumed that the solis had the same handles - but can see here there are a few differences. There doesn't seem to be the same jimping on the tang behind the choil as you get in there Luna - which is a shame as that makes it feel safer. I put a thumb stud on my Luna to give me OHO. I guess you could do the same with the Solis as it has the same long nail nick.
Great little knife from Real Steel. I just bought the Real Steel Barlow and I really think they did a great job with it. Will to pick up this one too. Thanks for the great review and the channel. 😊

I like this one a lot. Even the funky stop.
Real Steel features this sort of half stop on many of their knives. I think it's a good idea. Thanks, Randy.
Love the blade shape on this but I'm with you on that lanyard position, makes no sense to me Awesome review John 🔥
Yep not a fan of the lanyard hole position, but otherwise a smart knife. Real Steel does good work.
Nice great looking knife and great size!!
Thanks, Mike. Tell Mrs. C hello for me. I hope you guys are doing well.

Yes you possibly could add the the thumbstud. I enjoy the Luna too, and it's probably a touch better knife overall If forced to choose.
Nice edc option. Thanks 😊
Yes, a nice modern slipjoint. Quite the contrast to the Whaler.
I’m a traditional fan but I do own a RR blue denim work knife
That's a pretty good one for what it is, Prop. I like the RR work knife.

Real Steel makes some quality stuff. Thanks, for having a look at it, Gary.
I like it!
Good stuff as always brother👊🏻
Thanks for the visit, Tim.

You’re welcome!
Wondering what your favourite modern slip joint is TK?
That's a tough one. I'm pretty partial to the Boker Plus Boston lately.
👍
Thanks, Bruce. 👍
I saw modern then the word slipjoint.... you guys are hopeless. I can't help you! I love the content though. Great looking knife brother!
Well, what can I say, I like a good slipjoint. Thanks, Frog.
@@ThriftyKaniffy I know brother. I always enjoy seeing what everyone is collecting.
Neat
Right on, Jeff. We all love a good Case.

Indeed. N690 contributes to that. Thanks, James.
