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

I just got this knife, and I love it. Yes, the handle is plastic - but it is very comfortable to grip and the knife maintains a good balance when opened. The blade (I chose black) is very sharp and sharp-looking, and I like the combo of the blue handle and the black blade. The opening mechanism is very smooth, though it takes a few reps to get it dialed in - true of any knife. It locks securely and easily. You need to make sure you don't close it on your fingers, true of any folding knife. Just like any knife, it gets tape residue on it if you use it to open boxes (Amazon should send you one when you join Prime - ha! - It's already opened a few boxes). As another reviewer mentioned, rubbing alcohol works well to remove, but you may have to soak it for a few minutes. I have owned a knife that was 10 times this much, and this is as good, if not better, as far as feel, size, looks, and function. The finger guard at the fold is reassuring that you won't accidentally slip the blade into your grip, much better than the pricey knife. It even came with a very sheik case and one of the most hefty cleaning cloths I've ever seen. All in all, a great knife and a great deal. Highly recommend.

I couldn't resist the Amber scales with the black blade, especially on sale (for an already inexpensive knife!)I could do push cuts on paper out of the box so, very sharp.The action is easy, intuitive and very smooth. I'm not normally a knife fidgeter but this one is fun to play with and when I go to use it it's super easy to deploy.I'm in a wharncliffe/sheepsfoot phase and this knife really appeals to me visually.I used it at work all day, unwrapping a lumber drop and even with a utility knife that's usually a hellish, hacking and cussing good time. This thing glided through 16 feet of fussy, fibrous plastic like a figure skater! Just enough belly to Flip it on its back and slice like you were skinning a deer.Boxes, straps, 7 Mil screw bags, they all just melted away from this edge. It is a superior slicer, more versatile than a box cutter, half the the size, a third the weight and ten times prettier!Am I happy as heck with this purchase? You betcha!

I own too many folders from a variety of manufacturers, including Spyderco and Benchmade, and plenty of less "prestigious" brands. I saw the Pyrite mentioned on a YouTube video by MaxLvlEDC and it intrigued me enough to take a look, and a coupon brought the blue stonewash version down to $30 for me, pre tax.I have owned it for less than a day, so I have not properly put it through its paces and cannot speak on the quality of its AR-RPM9 steel, but I am having a hard time setting it down. To borrow a concept from WranglerStar: it gives me the "fizz". It gives me more fizz than any other knife I've purchased in years.It's startlingly light with comfortable scales -- think Benchmade's Bugout and without the flex in its frame -- and its blade sports a beautiful flat grind, perfect centering, zero play, and arrived "shaving sharp". The button lock is the first I've owned and I've found myself happily fidgeting with it. I'm excited to have it as part of my collection and, once I've spent a little more time with it, I have a few buddies I suspect may be getting their own as a Christmas present this year.The only thing that puzzles me is why it was named the "Pyrite"? It's inexpensive, but I daresay calling it Fool's Gold is a disservice to such a nice folder.

It’s a pretty good value, good quality knife, overall (especially on Prime Day). Blade is nice and sharp, and it’s a useful length and shape. Blade steel is AR-RPM9, which is nothing particularly special, but not bad, either. It’s on a par with 9Cr18MoV, so it’s sufficiently tough and corrosion resistant to make a nice EDC knife. The action is very smooth and the lock-up is spot-on. Loses a star because the blade was slightly off center (requiring tinkering with the pivot screws to set right) and the scales are made of FRN, which feels a bit like plain plastic compared to G10 and micarta. This is where CJRB cheaped out a bit to bring the price down, and that’s ok. It means you won’t be reluctant to actually use this knife on the daily.
