Overview
Descriptions
The Kicker from CJRB is the next EDC knife that will take the industry by storm, and mark our words. It is an absolutely fantastic design in each and every way with a price point well below its quality level. It is the first CJRB knife to feature its own Recoil-Lock and what an enjoyable lock to use this is. The Recoil-Lock is similar to an AXIS or cage ball lock in its intuitive and ambidextrous functionality and it also launches the blade out so you can wrist flick it with no problem. Add in the attractive blade and handle shapes and perfect 3.5-ish-inch blade length you've got a knife that most if not all jobs you require. The reverse tanto blade shape is excellent in that it provides a reinforced tip for stabbing and a belly for slicing; the best of both worlds. It rides ultra-smoothly on ceramic bearings and the tip-up pocket clip is reversible for left-hand carry making this knife completely ambidextrous. The Kicker will be a knife you choose to carry over others that may cost more because it just works, and works darn well.
