CJRB Bowie Pyrite Pocket Knife EDC Folding Knife with 3.15'' AR-RPM9 Steel Blade, Hunting Knife with Wood Handle for Camping, Survival - Suitable for Men & Women - J1942 Rosewood

Great build quality, beautiful knife, came sharp. Folds and unfolds smoothly. lightweight and sits low in your pocket. No complaints whatsoever

I'm sure a lot of it has to do with anesthetics to my bias, but this has become probably my favorite pocket knife to carry. Close call between this and the CJRB Ria. But this knife aside from just having that classy look, holds an edge really well, easy to resharpen, and is slicey. The push button lock might be my new favorite locking mechanism. It's simple, fast and effortless. And while I'm not particularly a bearing guy, for this knife's purpose of an EDC or at the office knife, that isn't going to be outdoors and taking a beating, I'm okay with it and it's got a nice and smooth action, with the multiple deployment options you can do.

I purchased the rose gold and black version of this knife. I really like the blade shape and that combined with the rose gold blade and black handle creates an amazing look. The opening action is good, but the button to release the lock and fold is pretty flush with the handle and sometimes feels sticky. The overall weight is just a little more than I had hoped for. For me while it is an excellent knife I wish it were a little lighter and wish the unlock/fold button was designed a little better. The blade is really sharp and does an excellent job. Overall I really like this knife. I don't EDC this one as much as some of my other knives. I mostly keep this one at my desk and fidget with it or open mail with it. It looks so good though.

The CJRB Pyrite is one of the best EDC pocket knives under $100 especially if you can get your hands on one with S90V. I purchased the black and rose gold bowie version purely for its uniqness. I absolutely love the Pyrite line, and this is my fourth. Two of them are their ultra premium versions and some of my favorites in my collection. I find that I'm frequently chosing between mine for daily carry.This Pyrite Bowie version is fantastic sans the matte paint. Which within a few hours wore to a shine in the high traffic areas of the scales. The full length fuller plus thumb stud makes it a top contender in the fidget world. I can say they are some of the best BL's in the industry. Almost zero lock stick on any of their models. Civivi take note!!The weight and balance of the Bowie style feels excellent and way more expensive then their price suggest. The action is smooth and buttery. Handle ergonomics are comfortable for any task that you "should" be using this knife for. AR-RPM is kinda new and taking a big hit recently. As we are.finding out the steel is more comparable to 8cr with slightly better edge retention? Not to mention CJRB's misleading powdered metal claim, which it is not. I'd say 14C28N has a significant advantage in edge retention and well pretty much across the board. Again i bought this due to the uniqness and ocasional carry for very light duty. When it comes to CJRB's Pyrite line, there's something for everyone and on any budget. They hit it out of the park with this model. I'd say in the budget world of knives it WAS the Civiv Elementum's closest competition, until the revelation of Artisan Cutlery/CJRB not doing their proper reasearch on their own propietry steel. I will continue to recommend picking one up. They are still excellent and as mentioned before if you can find one with a more premium steel, you just can't go wrong. You might be surprised at how much you find yourself reaching for it.

Absolutely love this knife, I went with the ebony wood one and I love the look of it. It became my new work EDC mainly because of the size and weight. Its not to big and not to small, doesn't have that heavy feel to it when in the pocket like some of my other knives. So far the only issue I have ran into was when I went to resharpen the knife. I have some Sharpal diamond stones and DMD diamond stones for a fixed angle system. For whatever reason I found that the freehand way on the Sharpal and stopping at a1200 puts a hair splitting edge on it and holds up pretty well. Hopefully this review helps someone out there with keeping there knife nice and sharp.

Great edc knife and beautiful. The best part is the true bowie shaped blade. Sticks into things with ease. Comes sharp ootb. Pocket clip is good. Doesn’t hold as well as a spyderco clip but dang close. Just be careful when reaching into your pocket to pull something else out. I work in very tight spaces. Hasn’t fallen off yet. Well made. Best knife you can get at this price point and a lot better than knives that cost three times as much with exception of Rat 1 knife.

Blade is beautiful! Rose gold coloring is spot on and very classy looking! Was a little smaller in size than what I expected but the weight reduction makes it a great everyday carry! Shaving sharp right out the box! The carry case included is very nice with soft lining inside and a very large cleaning cloth super impressed! Will buy again from this brand!!!

This is an incredible EDC, couldn't be more pleased. The fit, action, materials QC ,bladesharpness and appearance are outstanding. It's very smooth and fidgets flawlessly. Glad I went for the Rosewood scales, good grain and color, does have a bit of grip texture. In my modest collection of about 16 very decent knives this has moved to the top of the list. Very precise workmanship. No regrets whatsoever.
