Ever pick up a knife and just know that it's perfect for what you need it for? That's the Ria from CJRB Cutlery. Its compact size and slender form factor are easy to carry and keep out of the way until its number is called. Then, when you need it, the blade rockets out thanks to a sharp detent and perfectly placed thumb studs. Whether you follow the shape of the handle and ride the thumb stud upward, or you're more of a 45° flicker, it rockets open every time. We view it as a pretty minimalist knife with a good size and width blade for its diminutive package. The Ria is ideal for daily carry and is priced so well that you can get a second to throw in a go-bag or a car so you always have a cutting edge close at hand. AR-RPM9 is CJRB and Artisan Cutlery's proprietary budget steel made with a powder metallurgy process.
Micarta Handles
Micarta is a compressed layered composite sealed within a thermosetting plastic which creates a strong, attractive material that is impervious to water.
Pocket Clip
Includes a pocket clip for easy accessibility and a more secure carry.

Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Weight
Cons: Ease of Opening
Looks Good but Hard to Open
It is a good looking knife especially once it gets some oils from your hands. It is nice and sharp and seems to hold an edge. I wanted a gentleman's knife and it fits the bill. I really have a problem with it opening. A one handed flip will be slow at best. 50 to 30 % of the time I have to start it with one hand and flip with the other.

Pros: Blade Material, Blade Sharpness, Ease of Opening, Handle Feel, Handle Material, Lock Ease of Use, Overall Quality, Weight
Cons: Lock Type
Ref/black micarta is a little dull...
I bought it because I really like the blade shape, although I normally don't like liner locks. The scale colors are a little dull compared to the pictures, but it's a nice, slicey knife with great flipping action.
