CJRB Pyrite-Alt Folding Pocket Knife, Button Lock Knife with 3.11'' AR-RPM9 Wharncliffe Blade Stonewash Steel Handle, EDC Knife for Men Women Tactical Outdoor Hiking Gift (J1925A)

Great quality, and dependable. This is my 5th CJRB folding knife and I have not been anything but impressed and thankful to the company. I have a really hard time paying $140 for a 3-4 inch spydercojust for the name. The first CJRB that I ordered was just me blindly ordering a knife without reading reviews or anything at all. I ordered a CJRB, a Vosteed and a Civivi at the same time and the CJRB is the one that i keep in my packet EVERY DAY. I would recommend these knives to any and everyone. I will be ordering more because I love the quality, the price, the feel, and the designs. They come razor sharp and easy opening with a very smooth opening. The others that I have really good spines and easy to close. If you buy one you won’t regret it. I’ll give them a 5 ⭐️ and would give them a 10 if I could. Why did you pick this product vs others?: quality and price

I'm reviewing this based on first impressions. Ease of opening and closing and for both operations being safe, excellent. It took me about a minute to figure out how to flick this open with very little effort needed to push lock to release blade then simply flicking from a position where the blade is hanging down as gravity is enough to start the blade moving once unlocked. Maybe there's a better method but this was simple for me and feels comfortable. Next sharpness. Blade was sharpened nice and evenly from factory, was able to cut paper strips using the entire blade and the cut felt nice and smooth. Lastly, I don't see why this blade wouldn't last a long time unless it's abused. You can look up the type of metal this is and it's a good quality blade, not great, but it's good for a lower cost blade. It's tough so it will hold an edge good enough and it's fairly easy to sharpen so if you have a pull through that can deal with the hardness of this steel you should be able to use that, or you can buy a more complex sharpener that sets up to work at different angles, I don't know what the factory edge is set at, but I'll take the effort to set it at 18 degrees. This type of steel is supposedly best in the range of 16 - 22 degrees. Since I'm not dealing with any materials that are hard I can get away with 18. I set kitchen knives at 14 degrees so it's still a more durable edge than kitchen knives. I think this will end up being my EDC since it's easy to deal with this with one hand for both opening and closing the blade and that's my main concern. It's also a good size for what I'd call a medium size blade, so it's easy to carry.

This knife is beautiful. From the way it's shaped, to the way it’s finished all the way to how it feels and performs. I love how the weight is distributed. You shake it, there's no wobble. No blade play open or close whatsoever. It feels solid and hefty but with a butter-smooth action. Very fidgety with a nice click. I got this on sale for $49.99 + 20% off and that price was a no brainer. This knife is popular amongst value minded enthusiasts and now I understand why. I bought the all-metal version. The only drawback to this model is naturally it's not as grippy. But this is not a heavy task knife. Came nicely packaged in its own box wrapped inside a nylon zipper case wrapped in plastic. Blade was razor sharp upon unboxing but after a few minutes on a strop this thing is a scalpel. I’ve since customized my knife with some touches of selective polishing to make it mine and removed the clips since I fidget with this more than anything.

I like the solid aluminum build quality, the shape of the blade, and the sharpness out of the box. The button lock is solid, holding the extended blade firmly locked in place, but easily unlocking. The deep pocket clip holds tight in your pocket, but with the screws being mounted flush with the clip and the smooth aluminum sides, it doesn't wear out the hem of your pocket. A press of the lock button and a flick of the wrist deploys the blade with a satisfying click. I have one wish on the knife. It would be a big improvement if it had a thumb stud on the blade, as other models of Pyrites do. I didn't notice that this model doesn't come with a thumb stud when I ordered it. Not a big deal but definitely missed. There is one problem. The detent doesn't grab the blade when you unlock the blade and flip it closed reliably. It often bounces back it. (See video) I have seen some other models of Pyrite reliable click into the detent and hold the blade closed.

I bought this knife about two weeks ago and have used it basically daily since it arrived. It is very useful and is a good value for the price, in my opinion. I like the weight, shape, color, and the handfeel of the handle. I also appreciate the button lock and the clip, the shape of the blade, and its durability. Easy open and close and it clips tight with the pocket clip. My only concern is that the knife wasn't really at a brand new sharpness when it arrived (did not pass the "can it slice off any arm hair?" test). Test cuts on cardboard, paper, and fabric started sharp then showed tearing/roughness for the second 20% of the blade, then were fairly clean the rest of the way down. I don't mind having to sharpen my own knives but I do think a new one should be super sharp when it arrives. I would recommend this knife if you're on a budget but still want a reliable and sturdy cutter.

I picked up a CJRB Crag (?) 7 months ago based on an article I read about small American companies that have been making their knives in China and overseeing QC. This led to another article about Chinese companies putting out their own knives and maintaining the same level of quality that the companies contacting (like Kershaw for ex.) Anyway- I'm not even sure if cjrb is fully independent but I know it's related to Artisan Cutlery. The point is, The Crag cleaver blade blew me away on most levels and I'm sure I'd get push back but I think it compares favorably to my Spyderco and an old Benchmade. (I know... heresy) So, I haven't used this modified sheep's foot blade that much yet but I can tell that the same things I like about the Crag I like about this. Extremely smooth and quick exit with flip. (plus this has the added thumb oval to flick and the very sweet button lock) So, it's pretty amazing what you can get for < $50. I'm impressed. And at 65 with literally dozens of knives over a lifetime of vanity l cabinet maker and carver it's nice to buy something priced like this exceed expectations. Twice. -⁹ô

Action is butter. More spydieflickable than most spydercos. Button lock easy to time for deploy or close. Well balanced with Ti scales. Fit and finish great. Purple accent on pivot and screws reminiscent of tanzanite, but not gaudy. Good to great slicer considering geometry, came sharp, full deep carry clip. Not a hard use knife, even though medium blade stock, and scales are slippery. Perfect for office edc and can dress up to white tie. Can't tell how finish will wear or judge the steel yet as have only had for a day, but it took a stupid sharp edge with .5 micron and bare leather strop... considering another one in micarta or G10 for town/everyday edc.

For $50 show me another knife with this smooth and action! Seriously! It’s smoother than many of my other “high end” knives! CJRB hit it out of the park with this one! Shaving sharp out of the box, great feel and shape, deep carry pocket clip, the perfect size blade, not too big, not too small. I would give this knife 10 stars if I could! I now own three CJRB knives and I have liked every one, this one takes the cake though. I have been using there AR RPM9 steel in the other knives and it is a great steel. The edge retention is decent for my use. It sharpens well and takes a razor sharp edge so no real complaints for the price. Seriously worth the coin! Thank you CJRB!
