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

I was looking for an inexpensive, lightweight, compact, good quality EDC knife for occasional travel and the Pyrite Light seemed like a good fit. And not that I was expecting a bad product given my past experience with CJRB products , but what I got was much more than expected given its price.The FRN scales were very well contoured, comfortable, and well textured. The inset steel liners made if feel very sturdy and well built yet it was still lightweight. The action was beautifully smooth and light with great thumb studs and button lock. The blade was extremely sharp and slicey and had a nice crowned spine.So it turned out to be something I wanted to carry much more than occasionally. That then led to ordering one just released in S90V that's the same other than blade steel, price, and available colors. And I find it in my pocket much more than many much more expensive options.Highly recommended. Really outstanding for the money.

I already own the Pyrite XL in Green Micarta, which is a favorite of mine mainly due to it's ergonomics. This standard sized Pyrite was too tempting to pass up. Unlike some people, I like FRN knives and this Pyrite is a well made example of an FRN knife. The FRN is kind of smooth, but not slippery feeling. The scales are light weight and yet are still stiff enough to have a great deal less flex than the XL Micarta version does. The use of non-weight relived liners helps add to the stiffness of the nested liners. The ergonomics are extremely good for the price point we are at and the steel is decent. The action is smooth and snappy, but opens relatively quietly. The pocket clip is recessed slightly and has recessed screws, which really helps the ergonomics out. I prefer the thumb stud on this design because it allows for effortless opening using the most commonly known way of opening pocket knives, which means anyone can use it with ease. The button lock operates smoothly and has zero stick, but locks the blade in place nicely. The sheepsfoot blade shape is incredibly useful and has great cutting geometry along with a generous choil for those of you who like to choke up on the blade. This knife is good enough even with the choil that I still give it 5 stars. Great value for the dollar spent and a phenomenal gift idea for knife newbies and people who appreciate good knives alike.Now for a rant about choils. I don't like choils on medium to large folding knives because it reduces the overall length of the cutting edge which makes me wonder why you wouldn't just carry a smaller knife if you want what is effectively a smaller blade. Choils are effectively traps where whatever you are cutting drops into the choil and suddenly you are trying to tear your way through whatever you were trying to cut. That is infuriating when you just want to get the cutting task done and don't want to have to watch how deep your blade is inserted to avoid getting the choil hung up on it. I sincerely wish this trend of adding choils to every blade under the sun would stop, because it is a feature that only appeals to people who love features for the sake of features rather than actual function considering the task at hand. Choils are good on very small knives with handles too small for a full grip on the knife and bushcraft knives that are intended to be used to chop things and be a more jack of all trades kind of knife. Choils are terrible on everything else.

A very light knife. It's also for light duty. Well constructed, really smooth, and has an excellent locking system. Super slicy blade. For It's price point a great deal.

Its a good knife for the price. I don't expect it to hold up like my more expensive knives. It's got a sharp edge, very light, opens easy and fits my medium size hands nice. I like the blade profile. I think a beefier version would be perfect for me.Only negative is It flexs a little side to side, I don't know what force it would withstand

Hands down, the best budget friendly EDC knife. Light weight due to frn scales. Slicey blade. Deep carry pocket clip. AR-RPM9 steel is fantastic. Holds an edge and takes a hair splitting edge. Great factory edge as well. I never need to reprofile Cjrb or artisan edges. Only complaint is the lack of texture on the frn scales. It’s has some texturing, but still pretty smooth. I scuffed mine up with a fine grit sand paper for some added texture

Cjrb knives always come crazy sharp and the button lock is very easy to use. It feels much more expensive than it is because of the great build quality. It fits my medium hand perfectly and feels great. The handle doesn’t feel cheap like you’d expect and honestly feels better than the handle scales on the benchmade bugout. Had to buy a couple as gifts.

One of my nicest knives and that’s saying a lot since I have many knives that are 5-8x more expensive.I can’t comment on the durability of the steel, I’m not going to abuse it just to test it out. But I can’t comment say it’s super razor sharp out of the box. It’s perfectly balanced, opens fast and closes easy. It’s built beautifully, looks great, and feels great in hand. Best $30 I’ve spent in a long time.

Bought this for $30. I've been looking at this knife for while, and finally decided to buy it. I must say, this is a very nice, sleek knife. I can't find anything to pick at with this knife. Everything about this knife is very well done. It operates easily and smoothly. Lockup is crisp and strong... no blade wiggle. All the screws are snug. The nice thumb stubs are well placed for easy access and blade opening. The detent is also very good, permitting a easy snappy blade deployment. The blade is very sharp, slicey thin, and well centered when closed. And even the clip is good... not too strong or too weak, just right. This knife is fairly light, and should be an easy carry. I guess all the positive reviews I've read on YouTube about this knife are correct. CJRB has done good! It makes an excellent addition to my growing collection of “inexpensive” EDC knives. I like it. You will to.
