CJRB CUTLERY Folding Knife Rampart (J1907-COP) AR-RPM9 Powder Steel Blade Copper Handle Pocket Knife EDC Knife

Great quality

This knife swings well above it’s price point! I love the weight, the copper, and the fact that it holds an edge extremely well!

My first review on a CJRB knife. I own several and they are usually very good, great fit and finish, good action and decent factory edge. This knife isn't very smooth though; out of the box the bearings felt like they were grinding, not even close to fall shut. Took it apart and lubed the pivot which made it better but still not great. Also the knife is flipper only and the tab has no jimping and is very slippery. Lock is a bit sticky too.One more thing, every other CJRB knife I have came with a nice carrying case, this one does not.

Let me begin by expressing my fondness for copper scales. When handling a knife with copper scales, the natural oils from our hands interact with the copper, initiating an oxidation process that imbues the scales with a unique and lasting character. This oxidization becomes a permanent part of the knife, showcasing the personal history of its use. Copper, to me, holds a special place among metals—it doesn't merely accumulate scratches, but rather absorbs the essence of every interaction, making it a deeply personal choice. Additionally, the knife's cleaver-like blade with its semi-straight edge offers ease in sharpening and effortless cutting, adding to my appreciation for this exceptional tool.

I did not have to do anything to this knife to make it perfect, it was perfect out of the box. I shipwrecked it and it turned out great.
