CJRB Pyrite Wharncliffe J1925A AR-RPM9 Steel Blade Steel Handle Folding Knives Gray Steel Color
Quick Verdict
The CJRB Pyrite Wharncliffe is an excellent budget EDC folder featuring AR-RPM9 powder steel with solid hardness (HRC59-61) and a fidget-friendly thumb hole design. The button lock provides secure retention while the ceramic ball bearing pivot ensures smooth deployment. At 105g with all-steel construction, it's slightly heavier than some competitors but offers superior durability. The stone wash finish hides wear well, making it ideal for daily hard use.

Overview
Descriptions:
Our original Pyrite has seen massive success as a versatile EDC with an accessible price-point and a snappy button-lock. Some have even called it the best budget knife to date. And while we don’t want to mess with perfection, we’ve decided to change up the formula a little bit. The Pyrite-Alt features a modified Wharncliffe blade and an opening hole rather than the original thumb stud for those who are looking for a more fidget friendly experience. This knife will be offered in all steel handles just like the original Pyrite and is sure to satisfy fans of the original knife
