CJRB Pyrite-Light Pocket Knife, Folding Knife with 3.34'' AR-RPM9 Steel Blade EDC Knife Small Pocket Knife with Pocket Clip for Men Women, Suitable for Camping Survival Hiking Knives, J1945 Green

While the Sencut Sasche steals the show the Pyrite Lite quietly does the work. Almost half the price yet the only way you really feel it is in the handle material, which is still lots better than stuff we got in this price range up until recently this past decade. The button-lock isn't as slick on glass smooth as the WE/Civivi/Sencut button-locks but it's close, and it has slightly more friction meaning the blade doesn't "bounce" when closing. It's actually a smidge easier to close with the slight extra friction to be real, yet it's still fidgety fun.The blade shape is a cleaver yet this one has a functional point. Many cleavers have failed in this department, the most useful thing for an EDC is indeed the point so you can get into whatever you're cutting be it boxes, leather, tape, wild game etc. because even sharp blades if running flat against hide might have trouble starting their cut for a few seconds whereas a slight puncture can get an accurate cut started. We all know this via intuition, anyhow this is a cleaver shape that solves that issue perfectly while retaining all the benefits of the cleaver shape. Very smart design.The steel is okay, not too hard or soft, takes to an edge well and easy to sharpen. Not as finicky as D2 to sharpen and doesn't go dull too fast either. The handle material is a bit "squishy" as a soft plastic but not in a bad way, hard to explain until you hold it. It's super light though, and the thin profile of the blade makes it super slicey. The Worksharp Field Sharpener will get this thing back to shaving hair with a little practice since it combines diamond stones, ceramic hone, and a strop with compound.Overall this is in rotation with my Sencut Sasche and Civivi Mini Praxis. I gained a love for button-locks but the Mini Praxis is so well done (emphasis SO WELL DONE) I have to give it a pass on just being a thumbstud/flipper style knife with normal liner lock and it's price is right at $30 as well. The $30 price is easier to replace than the Sencut for sure, yet the Sasche doesn't go crazy and gives quality for the buck in spades. These knives all have uses and are in the budget category of "doesn't hurt to obtain/replace" because I just can't see dropping a hundred dollar bill on a blade. At a certain point a knife is just a knife and you're just buying prestige at a certain point, that varies for everyone but I cannot vouch enough for these knives in the $30-50 range. So much quality that you're getting diminishing returns from this pricepoint and you won't be lacking if you stop here with these recommendations based on my experience.

I couldn't resist the Amber scales with the black blade, especially on sale (for an already inexpensive knife!)I could do push cuts on paper out of the box so, very sharp.The action is easy, intuitive and very smooth. I'm not normally a knife fidgeter but this one is fun to play with and when I go to use it it's super easy to deploy.I'm in a wharncliffe/sheepsfoot phase and this knife really appeals to me visually.I used it at work all day, unwrapping a lumber drop and even with a utility knife that's usually a hellish, hacking and cussing good time. This thing glided through 16 feet of fussy, fibrous plastic like a figure skater! Just enough belly to Flip it on its back and slice like you were skinning a deer.Boxes, straps, 7 Mil screw bags, they all just melted away from this edge. It is a superior slicer, more versatile than a box cutter, half the the size, a third the weight and ten times prettier!Am I happy as heck with this purchase? You betcha!

I see why people like this knife so much, I can't stop playing with it, it's really fun. I never had one of these fast opening new type knives, the push button lock with the ball bearings done up like this...and I kept hearing about this one, and the price for it compared to anything similar is great. I feel like it's worth the money I spent on it for sure and I rarely get that feeling anymore with anything. I want another one of these kinds of knives now, good stuff. 👍🏼

Good knife, good for the price.

I have a few CHRB's in my collection now, this little knife is awesome arrived very sharp out of the box, I mostly use it as a weekend knife something light weight and easy in the pocket. I would definitely recommend for the price and the quality!CJRB is coming up, also own some of their cutlery knives highly recommend.

Really like the light weight of this knife. Action is buttery smooth. Even bought a second one for my son, in green, his favorite color.

Very sharp out of the box. I love the multiple opening and closing options. It is nice and fidgety :)The blade is centered perfectly and the action improved from very good to great after a little use.I am ordering another

This is my first CJRB knife purchase and I love it. The knife is lightweight and sharp out of the box.
