CJRB Small Folding Pocket Knife with Stonewash AR-RPM9 Steel Blade and G10 Handle Tactical Knife for Men Womens EDC Outdoor Survival Camping Hunting Hiking, Gobi(J1906) Natural Green

This is the best knife I’ve ever bought and I don’t say that lightly. I own many knives, full tang and folding. This is the best folding knife I’ve used in my nearly 5 decades of life. The way it fits my hand, the smooth and satisfying motion of flipping it open, the texture of the handle, and the sharpness of the blade. This is EXCELLENT steal, just feeling the side of the steal, it feels smoother and different than my other knives. The point of the blade is nightmarishly sharp. It will poke through most stuff with zero effort, like warm butter. Buy this knife now and stop wasting time comparing knives in this budget range bc you find none that are better. This knife is magic and you need it. I will be buying a one in each color.

Awesome knife, especialy for this price range! I have many pocket knives and this one is my favorite. i use it for my daily cary now , and it out performs knives i've paid twice as much for in the past. very sharp, holds its edge nicely,and smooth action and comfortable to hold. Also very light weight for it's quality. Beautiful finnish!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pros: 1. Razor sharp out of the box. This is not D2. It's AR-RPM9 powder steel with extra chromium (for corrosion resistance). I got this for my brother-in-law and he cut all of his hair off of his arm on first go. 2. G10 Grip is finished very well. It has nice traction, grip is comfortable - for how big it is - due to the texturization on the grip. 3. Ceramic ball bearings for the "flip" mechanism didn't work so smoothly at first, but after 10 or 20 flips, it got quicker and quicker. It definitely can benefit from little gun oil or lithium grease. 4. I really like the design of it. I have dozens of pocket knives, and other bigger knives. But this one is very unique - not only the Persian sword inspired design that reflects that unique curvature of the handle leading up to the smooth and sexy sweeping the blade end, but the design lends itself to comfort as my thicker than normal hands can grab it comfortably. 5. Excellent finish all around - Not one place where it's too sharp, or unpleasant. The fit and finish is excellent. Everything works right out of the box. The liner-lock is very secure. Cons: 1. Too many writings on the blade. I tend to not like having writings on the blade. I guess they have to let you know what's what, but not sure why they couldn't make it little more discrete. 2. The pocket clip does get in the way just a tad bit, where I can feel it when I'm grabbing the knife. I wish it was low profile. 3. Adjustability of the pocket clip from left to right. Again, I get it. It's universal. I wish had a better design for this problem. They do this on guns all the time, and they aren't invasive. plus the empty holes pick up dirt and looks hideous - like it's missing something. 4. Liner lock isn't center. I know a lot of my other pocket knives don't have it centered, but I just wish it was for my OCD. Definitely a buy - I paid $36 or so for this one. Just a tip - if you decide to buy two knives at the same time, the 10% discount will apply between two knives (5% each knife), so I would recommend buying them separately to get that 10% that made you think it was a great deal (which is a great deal).

This is a very well-made knife overall — solid construction, smooth action, and feels great in the hand. The AR-RPM9 steel takes a good edge and the fit and finish are impressive for the price. That said, this isn’t the knife for saltwater environments. I took it fishing along the Texas coast, and even though it didn’t get fully wet (just some sea spray and humid air), the blade started showing surface rust before I even got home. So just a heads-up: this knife is great for everyday carry or camping, but not ideal around salt or brine unless you clean and oil it immediately after every use. Still, for general use, it’s an excellent value. Just know its limits
