CJRB Mini Pyrite Pocket Knife, 2.17" AR-RPM9 Steel Black PVD Blade

After several attempts to find a small pocket knife that I could operate with my weak hands and fingers this one is just about perfect. The push button facilitates both opening and closing. The blade is razor sharp, and the build quality is excellent. The size is just right for me to carry in my pocket and I do not even know its there.

Like alot of other knife companies in the last couple years, CJRB has really stepped up their game. I first bought this little knife for my gf as a stocking stuffer for Christmas. She loves it btw. Me being an enthusiast and collector quickly borrowed it from her to "break it in" lol. I didn't think I was going to like until I got a hold of it. This little guy is awesome to say the least. I have many button lock knives, some are extremely expensive. This little dude has one of, if not the best button locks on the market, as I've heard the same about other CJRB's as well. The action is terrificly smooth, the thumb hole in the blade is easy to access and reverse flick on this is second nature. Which is impressive on such a small blade. I'm on the fence with the AR-RPM9 steel that's proprietary to CJRB but it's getting great reviews and seems to hold an edge nicely. Obviously this isn't the knife for you if you intend on hard usage. To me its a fifth pocket or watch pocket knive and it fills that void perfectly. The small handle is very comfortable and does not feel so small that it feels unsafe, the scales are very nice aluminum and the fit and finish overall is excellent. Perfect box cutter, letter opener, small task knife. Women call it cute, men call it neat lol. This will not be a knife for everyone but it fills a niche well, for those of us that collect or just prefer smaller knives. I absolutely love this little knife and love fidgeting with it. The equivalent of a male spinner toy to me. I'll be purchasing the big brother to this in titanium soon. Doing good work at CJRB I highly recommend this product.

This knife is an excellent value for the money. It has become my go to EDC knife over the four months that I have had it so far the knife holds a good edge on the blade and is small enough to put it in the coin pocket of my jeans. The folded size and size of the blade makes it and approachable every day carry accessory, providing a great value for the money and non-threatening design for every day use. The button mechanism can take a little bit to learn how to open the knife, one-handed, but once you pick that up, it is super convenient to have it with you whether it be at work or on the weekend would recommend this knife, and will be buying it for a few Holiday gifts!

I've really been enjoying this little knife. I used to carry bigger knives clipped to my pocket but I found them annoying and typically overkill for the jobs I wanted to do. This one is weighs just over 1/3 of what my previous knife weighs. The blade design is very clever, and allowed them to pack more cutting blade into a small handle. It has 50mm (2") of sharp edge in a 80mm (3⅛") handle. Any quality knife is extremely sharp when you get it, but this one has impressed me with how well it holds an edge. I use it several times most days and I have not needed to sharpen it yet. It has plenty of utility and I have no problem opening packages, slicing up cardboard, cutting away plastic bindings and zip ties, slicing foam, and much more. Within about a day, opening and closing this knife became an automatic one-hand process. It was a little weird at first having the opening button on the opposite end of the knife from the clip, but as I got better at working it I realized it makes sense. It's just a little different from what I was used to. It comes with some fancy packaging if you are more into displaying your knife than carrying it, but I don't care about any of that. For me it's an everyday tool. This knife was a good choice and if I lost it I'd buy the same thing again.

I havent owned any knives of this sort in a while and strong motivating factor was fidget-"ability", and I would say even after a night I am very pleased. Construction seems great and feels and looks like a quality product. The knife is surprisingly sharp, uh which feels weird typing out in a knife review but It Will Kcut. i got the pink one cause im girlypop like that. but I see that there are more utilitarian colors available. I like the variety and may pick up another aah. I have not ever owned any knives before known specifically for fidgeting and this being my first experience is a treat. The actuation feels fun and really satisfying. I learned to spidey or reverse flick with this knife. It took some time but honestly I liked the little challenge. I would say figuring out how hold this knife with its size would be troublesome if you have large hands. My hands are not very large and it took me a while to understand how to hold it due to its size. Overall though honestly the size is perfect for portability. super fun. great gift honestly or maybe a good first pointy sharp thing for a beginner or great for edc if you needa stim or somethin iuno. I kinda wished there was just one more way or action to open it. Just one more would make this a honestly perfect mini fidget knife across the board. I know that is not a typical thing though to have more than 1 or 2. great value as is, I love this knife 💕

There is a lot to like about this knife. It cuts well, it is slim and compact making it very easy to carry, the lock is easy to operate even on such a small knife, and it's an attractive design. It's also a really great value. The handle anodization looks great but it is very slick. I would have liked to see a finish that offers a bit more texture like many aluminum handled knives from competitors. The handle is very well shaped and comfortable to hold but it is slicker than it needs to be which can be a little nervy on a knife this compact. I also dock some points because mine came with some edge chips near the tip. They have mostly sharpened out but unfortunately this has been the case with 2 of the 3 knives I own from CJRB. I am willing to run the knife over my sharpening stones when I first get it but if you aren't, maybe be a little wary.

I've purchased several small pocket knives lately, looking for that "one" that is ideal for my wants. Some I've returned (good knives but just not right for me) and some I've kept. It has taken me a few purchases, but I've found my "one". We all use different factors to judge our knives, but I love everything about this Mini Pyrite, including the quality of material and the build. The size is perfect as an EDC (for those small jobs), the clip sturdy yet can be quickly extracted from the pocket when needed, bearings make for a smooth opening and closing of the blade, the opening mechanism is comfortable and effective (no studs that jab into your thumb or get caught on your pocket), and a button lock. The button makes for easy quick open if you want to go that route, and makes for an easy close, but not so easy that you have to worry about your hand closing the blade when you didn't intend to. Like I said, love the Mini Pyrite.

It seem like edc knife brands have been coming out of the woodwork the last several years and up to this point I have chosen to stick with more well known (and much more expensive) brands. Just recently I lost my favorite edc (Benchmade Bugout) so it needed replacing. Given the fact that the prices of so many quality knife brands has gotten out of control I decided to try one of these newer brands and so far I couldn't be happier. The Mini Pyrite is small enough that it feel like a weight in your pocket but big enough to do just about any everyday task. The build really feels quality. The action is just as smooth as the much more expensive brands and it just feels solid. It came with a razor sharp edge as well. I know it doesn't have the same quality steel as the more expensive knives but I'm sure it will do just fine as I keep my knives sharpened anyway. I'd definitely recommend to anyone on the fence like me.
