If you’re a fan of compact, practical EDC knives with a modern design, then stick around for all the details!

Before we dive into the specs, don’t forget to check out our other blog reviews and our YouTube channel for more knife content. Now, let’s jump right in.

The Box & Unboxing Experience

The first impression of any knife often comes from the packaging, and the CJRB Pyrite-Light definitely starts strong. The box features the brand's clean, minimalist design with bold black and white contrasts, showcasing the logo prominently on the top. It’s simple yet effective. On the front, you'll find a clear image of the knife with the name "Pyrite-Light" printed, while the back provides some basic product information.

Inside the box, there’s more than just the knife. CJRB adds a nice touch with a cleaning cloth to keep your blade in tip-top shape, as well as a couple of branded stickers—because who doesn’t love a good sticker, right?

Handle & Build: A Great Grip with the FRN Handle

Now let’s get to the heart of the knife. The Pyrite-Light features a handle made from FRN (fiberglass reinforced nylon), which keeps the knife lightweight without sacrificing strength. It’s ergonomically shaped, offering a comfortable grip that feels secure even during extended use. The green FRN handle comes in at 4.25” long, which is a great size for most hands, providing a solid balance between grip and portability.

What’s even better is the inclusion of a lanyard hole—perfect for anyone who likes to carry their knife with a lanyard for added convenience. Plus, the pocket clip is reversible, so you can carry the Pyrite-Light however you prefer.

The Blade: AR-RPM9 Steel & Wharncliffe Style

The blade of the Pyrite-Light is equally impressive. It’s made from AR-RPM9 steel, a solid choice for everyday carry thanks to its excellent edge retention, corrosion resistance, and overall durability. The blade style is a Wharncliffe, providing a sharp, straight edge that excels at precision cutting and general utility tasks.

The black PVD coating gives the blade a sleek, tactical look while also offering some extra protection against the elements. And with the flat grind, you’ll get an ideal balance of strength and sharpness. A pair of thumb studs makes opening the blade quick and easy, and the button lock mechanism provides a smooth and secure lock-up—no wobble here!
