CJRB Acacia Pocket Knife, 3.21'' AR-RPM9 Steel Blade Folding Knife with Pocket Clip, Pocket Knife for Men with Crossbar Lock Sharp Camping Survival Hiking Knives, Black PVD Coating J1952 Blue

I always have my Milwaukee Fastback on me at, and switch between two different Milwaukee folders at work. I've been carrying the 7.75 folder as an edc as well, and was looking to upgrade it recently. Jumped down the youtube rabbit hole and came out with this. The combo of style, locking mechanism, and looks appealed to me.To me the Acacia has a real sleek look to it. The FRN scales are comfortable and well finished.I like the textured pattern on the scales. It reminds me of a Japanese design made out of Mando T Visors. I have the brown version/black blade version.It's light weight, sharp, has good build quality for the price. I've broken down a bunch of boxes downand was impressed with the sharpness and ease of use. The default crossbar lock setting does seem stiff to me, but I'm fine with it since it is adjustable. You can deploy it with the crossbar lock, thumb flick, or reverse flick.I'm still fairly new to all these different ways to open a knife, so I think I would prefer thumbstuds, but then it would throw off the looks.So far the black blade coating has held up well, and I enjoy the crossbar lock. Ive given it a few pretty good whacks against a table with the tip of the spine, and its stayed locked. I also appreciated how easy it was to adjust the pivot, since one side is captive.Def worth the sale price. If it ever drops lower or of I lost it I'd replace it. I look forward to checking out more CJRB blades as I slide further into this hobby/addiction

The media could not be loaded. For a crossbar lock in this price range, it goes beyond its peers and definitely goes toe to toe with the greats that cost double. You can immediately appreciate the effort they made in creating solid lock up and deployment. Even the acoustics sound solid, with its satisfying ting. Overall design and usability sharply done, making it accommodating for most users. The default tension is on the medium side and can be lowered by adjusting omega springs to the second notch. The handle's textured pattern adds a bit of traction along with its style. The thumb hole size and placement makes deployment quick and easy for both thumb and reverse flick. There was slight lock stick initially but smoothed out quickly during use. Knife was centered with no blade play. Factory edge even with nice bite. Easy recommend for those new to knives and enthusiast alike.

good knives, great knives don't have to be expensive.this one checks all the boxes. great looks. fidgety, great action. light weight edc carry.sharp out of the box. i have a lot of knives, many costing much more than this one.it's a great value. it's a good - maybe great - knife.

I bought this knife because I wanted to get a light weight EDC under 3 ounces, and this one comes in at 2.68. Yes, as others have noted, the cross bar lock is rather stiff, but I don’t mind that too much. The thumb opening doesn’t work well for me, so when closed I just disengage the cross bar lock, which brings the blade out just enough that I can do a quick flick of the wrist and deploy. This is a knife meant to be used so use two hands to deploy if you want. The fidget factor isn’t a big deal with me. This CJRB is less than half the cost of many lightweight knives on the market, so it’s a winner. I’d give it 4 1/2 stars if I could.

I happened to add this to my order when I was getting the pyrite lite, because of the crossbar lockup. I'm so glad I did! This thing is smooth and very fun to play with. Blade is super sharp, lockup is great, size is great, the action is so butter smooth it's scary, everything about this knife is great. I like the pyrite lite, but I've been playing with this more. It was $40 with a 25% off coupon. If you're thinking about buying this knife do it. I promise you will not be disappointed at all. Plus the sound it makes is amazing, ting, ting, every time it locks up. Very addictive and just a great little edc knife for the price. I watched some reviews and people are saying best budget edc of 2024 and I see why now. I'm so glad I happened to add this. Just buy one already, watch some videos and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.

Okay let's start off with the Pro's on this knife...- Lightweight, seriously even without weight relief in the liners, this is still only 2.71 oz.- Great blade steel at this price.- Oh yeah, the price... It's a steal.- Ergonomics are great, very subtle contouring on the scales and even though it's FRN, the texturing on the scales makes it feel better than it is.- Drop point blade, with IMO some of the best stonewash finish in the budget category.- Crossbar Lock is near perfect, it's not gritty, or at least mine isn't. While some might complain it's too stiff, IMO that's a good thing. A lock should keep a blade closed when it should be closed, and open when it needs to be open. If light shaking can release the blade from the scales that's a major problem (looking at you, Benchmade and Miguron).Cons:- Really only one comes to mind and that's the shape of the tail end of the knife handle. It tapers at the end, and if your not careful when closing the blade, you might ending up getting kissed by your knife tip. I wish the would've kept it like the Hectare. But it's not a deal breaker, just something to be aware of.

The blade and build are good CJRB quality, the lock not so much. Hard to open, probably got a dud, returned it.

The knife comes sharp right out of the box, and the blade quality feels solid. However, it's not quite as quick or agile as expected. Time will tell how well the edge holds up with regular use. The included bag and cloth seem unnecessary—removing them and knocking about $5 off the price would make more sense.
