CJRB Pyrite-Alt (J1925A) Folding Pocket Knife with 3.11'' Stone Wash AR-RPM9 Wharncliffe Blade Green G10 Handle,Button Lock EDC Knife with Thumb Hole for Tactical,Outdoor,Hiking and Gift

I've always had an appreciation for knives, but I was never the type to always carry one, even during my time in the Army,. Recently, however I've delved into the world of knives and found myself extremely intrigued, and also somewhat shocked at the prices. After hours of YT reviews and research, I fell into the rabbit hole of the CJRB Pyrite. A stunning, well-built, compact slicer that punches above it's class. Like many people, I previously only owned hardware store knives such as DeWalt and Coast, and thought Kershaw was the creme of the crop. Of course my eyes went wide when I learned of evergreen models like the Benchmade bugout, the Spyderco paramilitary, the Demco AD 20.5 and the almighty ZT Hinderer, and I wanted one. Then reality smacked me across the face and said, "you don't even carry a knife, and you'll probably lose it within a week!" That's where this bad boy comes in. Just a wonderful piece of hardware that's also pretty friendly on the wallet. So I pulled the trigger... metaphorically, and purchased it. It arrived this afternoon and I was already pissed that I couldn't use the new knife to slash this box to bits. There she was; this petite, somewhat boring box quite frankly, nestled in between 2 other stupid things I ordered that I quickly dispatched of. Opened the box, and feasted my eyes on this beauty. Flat out, It's everything I could have hoped for, and then some. If you are in a similar position as me and are looking for a quality knife, but aren't quite ready to invest $200+ on one, this is it. I've only played with it for a few hours and I'm absolutely in love with it. Firstly, look at it! Secondly, it carries the traits of many premium knives at a much lower cost. I've included pics so that you can take a better look at that gorgeous warncliffe blade, and some of the other wonderful features like the smooth jimping and excellent choil. Overall, I can certainly see this opening a whole new can of worms, but for now I'm extremely satisfied with the CJRB Pyrite, and I'm sure you will be too.

I am somewhat of an avid knife collector and own some very expensive ones from the likes of Benchmade, Spyderco, Microtech etc... That said this things finds more pocket time with me than most of my expensive knives. The AARPM9 blade steel is pretty good (it's not Magnacut, but at this price it's kinda hard to beat) and comes razor sharp. It is also easy to re-sharpen and maintain. If you are looking for an every day knife to carry in your pocket at this price point, don't hesitate. Great little knife!

The blade came relatively sharp for a cheaper knife. Unfortunately the lock detent was insanely strong and it had pretty bad button lock. I fixed these with 2 t8s for pivot screw, took some adjusting but it settled in pretty nice with a tad of blade play and solid lock up.Now the button lock is actually caused by over tightening the scales. I took a t6 and backed out all the body screws half way and tightened them down a little bit a time evenly. Still has a little bit of button lock but it's tolerable, and is now flickable.All in for the 37 bucks I paid It's not bad. However if you don't like to tinker I'd probably just spend a little more and get a civivi. If you don't mind some adjustments because of QC it's well worth the money

I read some reviews stating their knife didn't lock and sure enough neither did mine when I opened the box. I had to take apart and rebuild the knife (also gave it some grease while I was at it) and now it works fine but at least for me the knife can't be tuned to swing freely without some amount of blade wobble.The knife is okay and I like the shape but for $50 it being broken out of the box is completely unacceptable. The button lock mechanism on my Civivi feels considerably nicer, this one still feels a little sticky (maybe it needs more grease) additionally the Civivi has a nice "ting" sound to it while the CJRB has more of a "tunk", though the Micarta on this one is more consistent on both sides than the Civivi.Unless you are someone who is comfortable with disassembling and tuning your knife I find this one difficult to recommend and I'd say just go for a Civivi unless you want to try this one knowing you can get a full refund if it's broken.

I really like this knife though it is priced a bit more than I would have liked at 54 dollars. This was my first knife with a hole opener, and my god I love the fidget factor that gives it. It's very lightweight and has great action for a button lock. The button lock is also butter smooth and doesn't stick at all.I did do an an exchange on the first one I received. It had an issue with detent lashing: with the blade in the closed position you could lightly shake the handle and the blade would audibly jiggle around. The second one I received did not have this issue, but came with some slight button stick, which went away with a bit of use and oiling.

I have had this knife for a couple months. First one had a defective lock, which was taken care of quickly, but I've never had this issue on another knife. I like the scales, and it is a comfortable handle and shape. I think the blade is nice, but it isn't as sharp as some I have. And the button lock is OK, but it just doesn't feel as solid as a crossbar lock or top liner lock. It stays engaged fine, but the button is just squishy feeling

My current favorite in a growing knife collection. Why? Almost completely because of the fidgitability and multiple deployment methods. I'm very much digging the middle finger flicking approach, and the pushbutton lock is perfect - my favorite lock up system. Finally, I use knifes for box cutting and construction, and the utility shape of this blade, a modified sheepsfoot style, is PERFECT for utility uses of all kinds. A great knife with some interesting, tasteful handle options. This is my second!
