CJRB Small Folding Pocket Knife with Stonewash AR-RPM9 Powder Steel Blade and G10 Handle Tactical Knife for Men

I have been a knife collector for years and have a lot of different knives from a lot of different manufactures. I like knives I can use regardless of cost, this is one of those knives. I love the way it is shaped, how sharp it is and how good it looks. The knife fits perfectly in your hand is very sharp right out of the box and is a fine-looking tool. I liked it so much, I ordered another for my Son- in -Law, who loves it as well. The action on the knife is fast and solid with a great lock. You can not go wrong with this purchase. Read more

Initial review. I’ve used it every day for a two months or so now on boxes, tape, plastic, and whatever else I needed to cut during my day. The colors pop nicely and the fit and finish is really good. Decently sharp out of the box but could definitely use a tune up. The steel seems to hold an edge just like any other decent quality steel knife I’ve had. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 is the detent is a bit strong out of the box and you have to apply a fair bit of pressure on the tang before the blade flicks out of the closed position. This could be a pro for some but for me, the pressure is a little too much and borders on uncomfortable. After a while, either my fingers became used to the pressure or the knife broke in a little or maybe both but I feel like my last one was a little easier to flick out. 1.5 year review update. I’ve carried this thing every day and I gotta say it’s an awesome knife and worth every penny. The RPM9 steel doesn’t have any signs of corrosion, the knife broke in and flies out flawlessly every time. The small rounded edge on the liner is very welcome and feels like home. You can close it one handed. The semi-sharp edges on the flipper kind of rounded over and weren’t so harsh on the fingers. The colors still pop just like when it was knew. I wish CJRB was a better known brand because this knife rocks. Changing review to 5 stars. Read more

Great quality, awesome craftsmanship! For the price, this knife is a steal of a deal. Great for every day utility use. Came semi sharpened, a quick pass through my blade sharpener and this knife cuts through 5/16 -1/4 inch dense cardboard with minimal effort. Easy to operate, open and close thanks to trigger designed blade. Handy belt clip and not small or big perfect fit. Great gift idea! Read more

There is a lot to love about this knife at this price, to the point where if the blade is on any kind of sale while you’re reading this you should consider this a 5-star review. I was drawn to this knife in particular by the blade shape, it’s not a profile I see terribly often in folders like this. For the type of stuff I’m using folding knives for, it’s not functionally much different than a typical drop point blade, but it’s aesthetically interesting without losing any function. I have used this almost exclusively for cutting and scraping tasks in an industrial setting, but I imagine that this blade would probably shine best for the type of person who uses a folding knife for cooking or meat processing. This isn’t the first or only folding knife to have a curved handle, but that handle really is the knife’s best feature and it’s going to make hard to go back to carrying a more regular knife again. It’s incredibly comfortable. It could stand to be a little thicker, but considering how slim and light this knife is while remaining usable I can’t complain. The blade’s AR-RPM9 steel is, as far as I’m aware, a proprietary steel from CJRB. Before buying the knife, a little research into the steel told me a lot of people were comparing it to D2, and I think that’s pretty accurate. I’m no metallurgist, so take this with a grain of salt, but in my use so far I’d say it feels slightly tougher/less brittle than D2, but doesn’t hold it’s edge quite as well. For me personally, I think D2 has gotten affordable enough that I probably would have preferred that or one of the other more traditional steels in this price range. It’s hard to complain though, the knife arrived wicked sharp and while a week of pretty agressive use has dulled the blade somewhat it’s not to the point where I feel I need to sharpen it. That’s better edge retention than 90% of EDC users are ever going to need. I did have a minor quality control issue with my knife. On arrival, one of the two torx screws holding in the pocket clip was visibly stripped out. Thankfully, this is not really an issue for me. The pocket clip is fastened securely and it’s already on my preferred side of the knife, but that stripped screw would make adjusting the pocket clip a pretty major hassle if I ever needed to. This knife is not a rip-off at full price, and that’s more than you can say for a good probably 60% of the knives for sale on the internet. If you like the blade or the handle shape, it’s worth a buy. If you catch this on sale, it’s a total no-brainer. Read more

Feels really nice in my mitts. Nice smooth action on the blade. I’m swapping out my Cavivi for this one. Nothing wrong with the Cavivi but we are going into winter so yea, looking for a change. lol it’s really pretty nice for the price. Quality is there. Blade nice and centered in handle. Easy to operate blade. It’s pretty fast to. I’ll adjust to this quickly if not already. I love the light green color with the orange accents. Beautiful. I may pickup the black and red accent one for the more formal dress. lol na , it’s just pretty to look at. Read more

Great knife. Love the curved design. Good size. Read more

I’ve been seeing this brand on here for a while now and finally decided to give them a try. I bought this knife for my brother as a Christmas present and it did not disappoint! The color and overall shape was grabbing everyone’s attention. Definitely a conversation piece as well as having great quality. My cousin actually closed it on his knuckle and cut it to the bone! No fault of the product of course. Just poor knife etiquette unfortunately. Great knife and a valuable lesson about finger placement learned! 5 stars. Read more
