CJRB Folding Knife Pyrite (J1925) AR-RPM9 Balde and Stainless Steel Handle Button Lock EDC Pocket Knife with Clip Silver

I bought this knife as a daily carry. I wanted something cheap yet slightly better than rust-prone D2 steel.Gotta say it’s pretty nice. I haven’t tried high end steels but this steel seems to hold an edge pretty well, sharpens well, and I have not had any chips or deformation with the edge.Knife looks great; people comment on how nice the stainless handle looks.The action is great too. You can flick it open with any finger, it’s balanced great.The only “cons” are that the spring in the locking pin can get sweat and water trapped inside so it tends to rust. Not sure that there’s any way around that though.The other thing is that you want to use loctite on all your mounting screws to avoid the screws backing out over time and for the blade to not get too loose.Overall, it’s held up to use in construction and around water pretty well. I’d buy it again if I lost mine

Not a bad knife for the size and price. It's the first time I've had a knife with this kind of lock, though. That's the one new thing I had to get accustomed to. Other than that, it's light, balanced, and easy to sharpen or hone. Good knife for the value, for sure.***Edit: Over a year later, and this CJRB Pyrite still holds up. I'm used to carrying folders that were a bit on the hefty side, but don't let the lightweight nature of the Pyrite deceive you. This knife stays sharp. I hone it regularly with a nice, soft piece of Latigo leather. You can feel how solidly the blade has been hardened when you knock the spine against your knuckles. And for the price, this squares up with bigger brand names for its' form and function. This knife comes in handy and does its' thing well. CJRB is a brand you should look into when it comes to quality knives. 10/10, highly recommended, bumped up my review to five stars from the previous four.

This knife is an incredible value. It has great ergonomics, great action, and centering was spot on. Lock up is rock solid too, I mean no play in any direction. Just starting to beat l break in the lock and it’s almost drop shut. I’m sure I could take it apart and clean/oil, and I probably will eventually, but right now I’m more than pleased with its performance.I opted for the all steel version. Not as lightweight as aluminum or titanium, but at the price point it doesn’t need those more exotic metals. The weight feels good and solid, whereas sometimes G10 can make a knife feel cheap or plasticky. I don’t have much experience with the steel, but out of the box it was good and sharp. I plan to put my own edge on after this one goes dull, that’s when you’ll really see how it performs.Packaging was nice and everything looked good on arrival. I highly recommend to pick up one of these! I will probably scoop another one just in case something happens to this one.

I like this knife so much I ordered another! Arrived razor sharp and perfectly centered. Smooth action. Good balance. No play. It's a great design- the simple full stainless look of this knife is unique and easy to clean but it could use some texture/pattern for grip on the scales and since it is small (besides smooth) the thumb studs are useless/unnecessary . My second minor detractor is the blade closed lock/hold seems to have a bounce and doesn't close as easily this way....the closed position is a pretty small "grab area" and not as positive shut as full open. It's easy to miss it's sweet spot when closing with one hand as I am accustomed to doing with a sliding axis lock (so maybe it's just me) but otherwise love the button lock- simple to just press vs sliding ...so now it's just timing or force on the closing flip with this one. It's just about a perfect weight and size for edc and the deep clip is great. Very sharp out of the box and after a full day of use with various materials from plastic, fabric, pencil sharpening, and cutting different thickness of paper on both mdf and acrylic and other activities is still very good and doesn't need sharpening yet. For the price you'd be hard pressed to find anything as nice excluding maybe Civivi, Flissa or Kizer. I'm thinking the blade steel is far superior to Ganzo, Firebird, Freetiger and the typical Benchmade copies ...but time/weekly use will tell.

I had seen many positive reviews on this knife. I noticed it was on sale for Prime Day. So, I grabbed it for $40. Now I see that they are offering a 20% discount, making the black G-10 version (like what I bought) the same price. So, in some respects, the 'thrill is gone' on the deal. LOL.Now, about the actual knife. I am a Ganzo fan, and I own a few of their knives. For what you get for the money, Ganzo is tough to beat. But, I was interested in trying a more premium button lock knife. I tried a Sencut, but it was defective. I have been impressed with how lightweight the Pyrite seems to be. The action is really nice. The fact that I can hold the knife and shake it and the blade comes out...that gives me pause. Maybe I will get used to it?Overall, I like the Pyrite. A nice, deep carry clip. Cool blade shape, decent steel. G-10 scales feel fine. Fit and finish...no worries. It's a lot of fun to play with, and I'm going to carry and use it for a bit.I think this is a pretty safe option if you want to check out a good quality button lock knife.

The blade is incredibly sharp brand new, holds an edge very well, easily cleaned, and is comfortable to hold.Even when out through a few tough situations, the blade stayed sharp. After a few passes on a wet stone and even more on a strop, I was able to get the blade so sharp, I literally sliced my finger print off and didn’t even realize until I felt the blood…When a knife blade can get that sharp without an issue, I am a life long fan.So be careful with it, don’t hurt yourself. I definitely would recommend this knife to anyone who needs a new one for their EDC.
