Good Value
I saw a few vendor reviews of this knife on the Internet after which I decided to purchase one. The knife arrived in perfect condition: good fit and finish, solid blade lockup, and reasonably sharp but not razor sharp. It's light-weight, fits well in the pocket, and has smooth action upon opening and closing. The blade is a full flat grind, centered, and very thin at the cutting edge making it good for slicing, opening corrugate boxes, and general EDC tasks. Although being light-weight, the knife has thin steel liners which gives a solid, sturdy feel to the FRN scales. The button locks works well, and the design makes one-hand closing easy keeping my fingers out of the blade path when closing. To be clear, the knife is not designed for heavy-duty tasks, and time will tell how well AR-RPM9 blade steel performs. AR-RPM9 is a spray form of 9Cr18MoV which is a budget knife steel, but it should have slightly better edge retention. Overall, JRB Cutlery Pyrite-Light knife is a very good value for the price.
