CJRB Droma Review – A Bold New Blade from CJRB

Welcome back, knife enthusiasts! Today, we're taking a closer look at a sleek and exciting new release from CJRB – the Droma. Known for delivering excellent value with innovative designs, CJRB adds yet another contender to their lineup with this modern EDC knife. Whether you’re a collector, an enthusiast, or just someone in need of a reliable daily companion, the Droma might just be what you're looking for.

Let’s break it down and see what this knife brings to the table.

Unboxing Experience

Right out of the gate, CJRB gives you a clean, professional presentation. The box features a sleek black design, with the CJRB logo prominently displayed in sharp font on the front. The back includes some basic info, including model name and manufacturing details.

Inside the box, CJRB includes some nice extras:

• A cleaning cloth for keeping your blade spotless

• A few stickers for the diehard CJRB fans

• And, of course, the knife itself securely wrapped and protected

These small touches are always appreciated and show that CJRB is thinking about the full user experience, not just the knife.

First Impressions: Design & Variants

The Droma comes in two variants, and the one we're reviewing today features a Champagne Aluminum handle paired with black G10 inlays. This gives it a classy yet tactical look — perfect for both everyday carry and collectors who appreciate standout designs.

CJRB chose to skip the lanyard hole on this model, opting instead for a cleaner overall profile. The result? A compact and elegant design that feels just right in the hand.

Ergonomics & Carry

At 4.25 inches, the handle fits comfortably in hand, with smooth contours that provide a solid grip. Despite the aluminum construction, the G10 inlays offer added traction without being overly aggressive.

For carry options, you’re getting a reversible deep-carry pocket clip — a thoughtful feature for left- or right-handed users. Whether clipped to jeans, work pants, or a backpack strap, the Droma disappears into your pocket until you need it.

Blade Details

The blade is where the Droma really shines. Let’s break down the specs:

• Blade Steel: AR-RPM9 – CJRB’s proprietary steel, known for its good edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening

• Blade Length: 3.33 inches

• Blade Style: Drop point – versatile for slicing, piercing, and general utility

• Blade Finish: Stonewashed – hides wear and fingerprints nicely

• Grind: Flat – provides a fine edge for precision tasks

• Deployment: Thumb studs for smooth and reliable one-handed opening

• Locking Mechanism: Linerlock – proven and secure

• Jimping: Present and functional, giving you extra control on fine cuts

With a total length of 7.58 inches, the Droma strikes a great balance between compactness and usability. It’s large enough for tough jobs, yet slim and lightweight enough to carry all day without notice.

Final Thoughts

The CJRB Droma is another solid entry in the brand’s growing catalog of high-performance budget blades. With its striking looks, excellent steel, and ergonomic design, it’s sure to catch the eye of both EDC lovers and casual users alike.

Currently, the Droma is available in two different variants, both of which can be found on the CJRB website or at your favorite knife retailer. If you’re considering picking one up, now’s a great time — availability is good as of this review’s release.
