CJRB CUTLERY Kicker folding Knives D2 Steel Blade G10 Handle pocket knife J1915

Outstanding EDC, light weight, great action, very sharp out of the box, no blade movement when opened and the blade is centered.

Blade came very sharp. Nice hard blade! Fits nicely in the hand. Really like the lock style and wish more knives would have it. Really like the shape of the blade also. Overall for the price I would compare it to a $100 knife all day!

Nice knife, terrible locking mechanism. Would not recommend.

This is a great knife with, a sharp edge, and the perfect size for EDC. Small learning curve but is easy to perfect. Great value.

I got this to try out a highly rated bargain knife in d2 steel. So far I like it and its 90% what I would like, I would really love it if the clip were a four position reversible clip rather than a two. I prefer tip down carry on a flipper as it makes the pocket draw and deploy faster (for me at least). Flipper action and lock. The flipper action is great, a solid flip with a good clack. The bearing is great on this. The lock is solid, it locks up hard, stays locked until you want to close it and has zero wiggle. The scales. These scales are very grippy without being wearing. You never worry about your grip, even if its wet, and I suspect they wont cause any excess wear on your jeans. In a word the scales are perfect. Edge and blade. Blade came "mostly" sharp. Near the end of the blade it was shaving sharp. Closer to the handle it wasn't. Spent some time on the sharpener and got it hair popping full length of the blade. Its great now, seems to hold the edge very very well during normal daily uses. The blade is perfectly centered in the handle when closed, no issues there. Blade shape is a little odd, but it gives you a very precise sharp tip that seems well reinforced and should be pretty solid. Flat grind blade with some metal behind the spine makes me not worry about it getting brittle. The blade honestly is awesome. I've only had it in my pocket for about a month now, so I'll see how it works for me. If I like it I might buy two more as I like to keep a spare knife in each car. Ideally the same as what's in my pocket at the time so there's no retraining of the brain. Update: Everything above is still true about this knife, but I had of the pocket clip screws strip. They're tiny little things. It stayed in its spot though so the clip was still secure. That is until it didnt. now I have a clip, one screw and cant find a replacement for the one that was lost, and even it it wasnt lost, t he metal liner is stripped on the side I prefer to carry it. A worthwhile upgrade for CJRB would be to use a larger screw, less likely to strip, and less likely to get lost. I knocked my review down a star, a clip on knife stops be a pocket knife when it loses the clip. Its become a bag or cupboard knife at this point for me sadly, the action, lock, blade, grips and everything else is still great, but without a clip its no where near as useful for me.
