CJRB Crag Folding Pocket Knife, 3.43" AR-RPM9 Steel Blade Carbon Fiber Handle EDC Knife with Pocket Clip for Men Women Camping Survival Hiking, Black (J1904)

This is a very well crafted knife that punches way above its price. As you can see in the photos, I have abused this knife, but that’s only because this is a very trustworthy that does more than just looking nice. The cleaver/reverse-tonto shape gives it a lot of toughness and the finger choil is very comfy for both precise and forceful cuts. I have been beating on this knife for over 4 weeks straight and I only had to sharpen it once. The edge retention is slightly lower than D2 which is a compliment, and it is much much easier to sharpen. This knife feels like it right at home on the whetstone. It’s the first knife I learned to sharpen to razor sharpness because of how easy the steel is to sharpen and how well the curvature of the blade fits the natural hand movement during sharpening. The knife already arrived super sharp from the factory (shaves 70% of the hair it passes over per swipe) and takes almost 80% as long to stay sharp as D2 and takes around 40% of the time to sharpen and strop. This powder steel from CJRB is very impressive. The action is very fidgety and the detent strength is just perfect, not too strong not too weak. The liner lock is smooth and doesn’t require a lot of force to actuate it. I was still a beginner knife collector when I first got it yet it felt comfortable and easy to manipulate instantly. The only way I can think of improving this knife is upgrading it to M390 and changing the handle to a matte textured carbon fiber for better grip and switching to a sturdier frame lock using a Titanuim frame with the carbon fiber. The current handles are glossy and are the only reminder that this is a sub $50 knife. While they do provide good toughness and grip they easily collect fingerprints and other lipids secreted by the skin.

This knife has been such an impressive piece of cutlery! I have been collecting, using, working with, and training with knives for well over a decade now. But to see how the budget range of knives have really upped their game in what they have to offer is astonishing! I bought this knife a little over a year ago, I chose this knife because for a while I was using a sog flashback as my beater knife I carried to work, cut boxes with, dug out things with, did light prying with, and all around stupid semi abusive activities with. I will be honest I hate the flashback, I wanted a knife that was cheap in price, but high in value, well made, held an edge well, and overall cut well! Boy did I find what I was looking for in this knife! Firstly I bought this on sale for $34, and at that price how could I say no? It has a powder formed version of 9Cr18MoV steel in Artisan/CJRB's proprietary formula they brought to the budget market. I love this steel! It's extremely rust resistant, holds an edge very well, and comes back to life on a ceramic rod and a strop. I use this knife everyday, I have broken down hundreds of feet of cardboard and it's still shaving sharp with the factory edge! It's never gone fully dull, I just touch it up with a ceramic rod, light stropping and it's back in action! The coating has held up phenomenally, still no scratches to the coating and it's been dropped on concrete, stood up to sea water while on my boat here in Florida, been through fruit, cardboard, tape, wood, etc. The peel ply carbon fiber is very classy looking for such an affordable knife! I will say it does have some hot spots on the edges of the scales, specifically on the inner edges of the steel liners. However it's a sub $50 knife full price so not too much to complain about. The grind is symmetrical, thin behind the edge but with enough meat to withstand tougher media on this flat grind. The action is fairly snappy and smooth, although before it was broken in, my finger occasionally would slip off the flipper tab since it has no jimping. The red pivot collar is attractive and really pops on the black background of the knife. It's definitely not as high quality as my more expensive knives, but for a budget beast, it's one hell of a knife! I couldn't recommend this knife more! CJRB/Artisan knocked this out of the park.

This knife was a replacement for the last two I lost, and honestly, I’m really glad I picked this one again. Not only does it look great with its clean, square edge, but it also holds a sharp edge really well. It’s lightweight, easy to clean, and has that no-nonsense, functional style I like. I carry it in my right pocket, and even though it’s gotten caught on a few things, the clip has held strong—it’s never fallen out. I also really appreciate the adjustable carry setup. You can switch it from left to right side and top to bottom carry. Knife folks will know what that means, and it's a nice touch. Definitely a dependable EDC knife I’d recommend. Only downside is the weird gold/yellow/green ring around the main bolt, may take it out to paint black or silver.

Bien producto aunque la hija podrían hacerla más gruesa y mejorarla el recubrimiento bien
