Check out the Pyrite Here - shrsl.com/4ktzw Amazon (the cart will auto apply $29.99 as you check out) - amzn.to/45qxyO6 (says out of stock, but click the knife and it is in stock) I don't know when the $29 sale ends on this knife. But it is a steal for that amount

I got it with a cpm s90v blade and I live it. Lightweight, smooth action, solid lockup, nice blade length, deep carry pocket clip, good ergonomics. I am a big Bugout fan but the Pyrite blows it out of the water

Mine was delivered the day before Father’s Day. Ordered it Saturday morning, Amazon delivered it at 6pm. My new favorite, like it more than the pyrite alt.

Hi. I’m glad you like it. I want to purchase one but some say the point of the blade can poke a finger when it’s close. I doubt it but wanted to have another opinion. I really dig this knife. Blue or green they’re awesome. Thanks for sharing.

just ordered and got mine today, same day delivery. I own a couple benchmades and a spyderco, this is my third cjrb. I've been surprised by the quality of these knives. granted I haven't beaten this knife like my 940 but I'm sure if you kept maintenance on it, this knife would hold up just fine. They could charge twice the amount and still be worth it. So if anyone is thinking about picking it up, go for it.

At this point, I've totally given up on Artisan/CJRB. I've been collecting for over 30 years now and have owned knives from so many different brands... and no brand has consistently given me lemon after lemon like Artisan. I'm not exaggerating at all. SEVEN attempts at buying a knife from this brand broken down: 1. CJRB Riff - had such a weak plunge lock spring that I could hold it upside down by the handle, give it a little wiggle and the blade would just fall out.. so I returned it for 2. CJRB Riff - the second one was a little better, could be held upside down by the handle and the blade wouldn't drop, but if picked up by the blade while close, it would open - returned for my money back... 3. CJRB Version - bought this one the day it was made available. I was excited to check it out when I got it so I did what most people do when they get a new knife - flicked the blade open to have a look at it - and... blood everywhere. The G10 scales were so poorly fit to the aluminum frame/bolsters that the aluminum created four needle sharp protrusions that absolutely shredded my hand open just from one flick. Upon closer inspection, I saw the huge gaps between the scales and frame/bolster. I returned to CJRB immediately and received.. 4. CJRB Version - before opening this one, I felt around the back of the knife to ensure that I wouldn't have any nasty surprises - I could feel four sharp points but they weren't nearly as bad as the first knife that I received. I flicked it open and noticed that the plunge spring was extremely stiff. Not a big deal, it would break in I told myself... lockup was solid - so I started visually inspecting the knife - horrible scale to frame/bolster fitment left 4 gaps of varying sizes and sharp points all around the handle so I decided to try one more time because I liked what the knife was trying to be... 5. CJRB Version - Ack! My third attempt at owning a Version and once again, horrible fit and finish - sharp edges and wide gaps of varying size between the scales and frame/bolster - but now a super weak plunge lock spring and much much worse - super uneven edge grinds! The tip was actually rounded over a bit and the stonewashed finish was ground off about .10". I gave up and returned it for a refund... I thought I was done at this point, but kept hearing about how great some of their knives are so I decided to give a newer model a try.. so I picked up a brand new... 6. CJRB Pyrite Light - I hate FRN... but I figured that it would be "light" given its name. This knife is not as light as it should be. I was actually stunned at how chunky it felt for an FRN knife - upon closer inspection I spotted the culprit - zero machining done on the full length steel liners to lighten them... what??? Why??? It seems like the only thing "light" about this knife is the amount of work that Artisan put into it. Besides my problem with the actual design itself though, the knife had no QC issues... I kept it but I don't really like it. This knife is sooooo overrated. In a final attempt to try to find a knife from this company that I like, I decided to pick up an Artisan Cutlery branded example which led me to... 7. Artisan Cutlery Arroyo - It was on sale for $22.50 on Amazon and was in RPM-9 (which I'm not particularly hyped about, I just have too many D2 blades). So... I flip it open... and what do I see... HORRIBLE... HORRIBLY uneven edge grinds! On one side, it's so bad that there's actually a clearly visible line on one side about .5" from the tip of the trailing point where the tip angle is completely different from the rest of the edge. The detent is just bad. It's somehow mushy AND too stiff... don't ask me how... At this point, I just give up... I can't be this unlucky... I've rarely had to return any knife in all of my years of collecting... I have to say it - CJRB sucks... 7 attempts (6 too many) and 7 failures... I know that CJRB fanboys will come out of the woodworks to defend them - but this has been my actual experience with this brand. I'm not going to waste anymore time with them. I've given them more than enough chances... I REALLY wanted to get a decent Version because I like the design a lot - but 3 bad ones in a row was just too much.

Couldn't agree more. Such a great knife and only $30. I wish they'd make the same exact knife with better knife steel, but that being said it's great for the money.

It’s good for the price. The integrated plastic scales make it feel somewhat cheap but it’s decent. IMO the Civivi Mini Praxis is a little better in that it feels better with it’s G10 scales and it was a bit cheaper.

The Remette Rhino you mentioned is 30% off right now. You have to click on the coupon thing that Amazon just started doing. Currently 38.50 before tax and all that according to the cart. Is the Pyrite worth it for only 8 bucks less or should I go with the Rhino if I was going to only pick up one?

@ParkerBinion 6 ай бұрын

Rhino is great and thanks for the heads up on the sale price, but it's closer to 4 oz than 3 oz. I won't carry a knife over 3 oz unless it has other tools going on (e.g., SAK). Plenty of great lightweight EDC options under 3 oz.

I have one, love them aside for them having the screws on either side of the pivot. For me, the pyrite always end up loose with blade okay. Embarrassingly, I think I have 7 pyrite variations. Every time I'm wising the same thing, I wish they had the one sided screw.

@edc4fun 6 ай бұрын

They really struck a cord with the pyrite line. Also fwiw they walked back their claims about their proprietary steel. Essentially chalking it up to ignorance; they said their marketing dept didn’t understand the technical aspects of they were saying.
