CJRB Kestrel Series FAQ

Designed by Ray Laconico, the CJRB Kestrel combines sleek minimalist aesthetics with spray-formed AR-RPM9 steel and versatile deployment options. Here is what you need to know about this practical Wharncliffe folding knife series.

What blade steel is used on the CJRB Kestrel?
The CJRB Kestrel uses AR-RPM9 stainless steel, a proprietary spray-formed alloy. This specialized manufacturing method produces a finer grain structure than standard 9Cr steel, providing increased toughness and superior edge stability during everyday cutting tasks.
Who designed the CJRB Kestrel?
The CJRB Kestrel was designed by custom knifemaker Ray Laconico. It reflects his clean, streamlined design style, pairing a functional 3.3-inch Wharncliffe blade profile with comfortable, utilitarian handle lines.
What opening mechanisms are on the CJRB Kestrel?
The Kestrel offers multiple deployment methods, featuring both a front flipper and dual thumb studs. This allows users to open the knife quickly with a thumb flick or using front-flipper technique.
How are the ergonomics and carry on the CJRB Kestrel?
The Kestrel features G10 handle scales with a subtle rear upturn that naturally positions the pinky finger for enhanced leverage and cutting control. It also includes a reversible deep-carry pocket clip for discreet everyday pocket carry.
