Almost All of These CJRB Pocket Knives Are Under $50 for Prime Big Deal Days

2 min readI’m always scoping out pocket knife to add to my rotation of EDC gear, but especially during Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days. Typically I’m looking for big names like Benchmade or Civivi, but lately I’m loving CJRB Cutlery. The new (to me) brand has a variety of folding and fixed blades which rival some of my favorite knives from better-known brands. CJRB pocket knives range from rugged and tactical, to sleek and minimalist. They even have unique designs like the wacky Nanner pocket knife, with its upswing blade.Shop all Amazon Prime Big Deal Days DealsThe brand stands out for its affordability on handsome knives, though it deserves equal attention for its build quality and materials. I was skeptical when I first came across CJRB, but had seen them highly praised on Reddit and other EDC forums. The TLDR of the majority of comments—can knives this cheap actually be good? The answer is a resounding yesBig Fan of Sheep’s Foot BladeI’m especially into this Rodayo pocket knife which is currently 40 percent off. It has serious materials like a AR-RPM9-steel blade and G10 handle, with a unique Western Flair (being from Texas, Topaz calls to us). A liner lock ensures the blade stays secure while in use, and the flipper tab on the spine provides lightning-fast deployment.This Pyrite-Lite is touted amongst EDC aficionados on Reddit as a cheap everyday blade that feels anything but. The ultralight build makes it easy to carry, and the button lock has a smooth action. It sells out a lot so now’s a good time to jump on it—even more so now that it’s just $25.Danny Perez is a Reviews Editor for Popular Mechanics with a focus on men's style, gear, and home goods.
