Quick Verdict
The CJRB Shale is a solid budget-friendly EDC folder featuring AR-RPM9 steel that holds a good edge at HRC59-61 hardness. The G10 handle provides excellent grip while keeping weight down to 80g. Ceramic ball bearing pivot ensures smooth deployment. Decent build quality for the price point, though the recurve blade shape is less common for everyday tasks.
