CJRB Cleaver Pocket Knife Folding Knives D2 Steel Blade G10 Handle J1915 Kicker Blue

I worked for the US Coast Guard for more than 20 years and have had many folding knives. Have had his for more than two years now. Still opens and closes smoothly. Holds an edge well and is comfortable and safe to use. I will be buying more to give as gifts.

The knife seems to be sturdy with no blade play it is lightweight and is a fantastic choice for a mid sized edc came out of the box razor sharp not to mention the lock makes it fun to play with

The good, from tip to butt: - The clip point blade has a nice shape and a nice grind. It's nearly symmetrical at the edge, and thin enough at the tip and edge to be useful. - CJRB nailed the sharpening choil. - The recoil lock is accessible from both the sides and top with a safe grip. The closing action is safe, intuitive, and fidgety. - The G10 texture is perfect and well-contoured. - The blade came perfectly centered. - The liners are skeletonized. - The clip is well done with countersunk screws and good tension. The bad, which kept this from a 5-star review: - The flipping action is really sub-par without wrist action. SOG really nailed the bar-lock-flipper-action in the Terminus XR series... you can build up a good bit of pressure against the bar lock "detent" and pop the blade out with authority. On the CJRB, there is almost no "detent," so you either need to swing your wrist a bit or flick the flipper tab like it's the world's stiffest lightswitch. - The blade did not come sharp out of the box. The edge feels like it was ground just shy of the terminal apex of the blade. - The blade stock is very thick at the top, which negatively impacts the slice-iness. - The lanyard hole feels like an afterthought. Overall, it's a really well-constructed knife with a slightly flawed action. Final fit and finish on the blade could have been better, but that's not unusual at this price.

This is a solid knife. It has a locking mechanism that seems much more secure than a liner lock so it is a good heavy use knife. The blade shape both looks very cool and is more versatile than I expected.

The hinge is very smooth. The blade came very sharp. The handle has a decent grip. The locking mechanism works quite well. Overall, a nice knife.

First impressions-Rather bulky with thick heavy blade. Thumb release is different and seems to work well. Uncomfortable to grasp when clipped in pant’s pocket.

Overall I’m very happy with this knife. Has a very smooth action, the blade was decently sharp out of the box and I love the feel of the texture on the handles. The closing took a minute to adjust since it’s so different from regular liner locks, but it was easy to learn.

Solid knife for the money, sharp and easy to sharpen when it dulls. Retains its edge well. Pocket clip was kinda weak.. I ended up breaking it off after about a week, but otherwise a solid purchase.
