A couple of months ago, CJRB proved the versatility of its Pyrite knife line by launching an affordable, folding take on the classic Bowie fighting knife. The brand has dropped numerous other affordable takes on the Pyrite before and since then, more than proving its versatility and approachability.

Now, CJRB has added yet another contender to the model’s existing lineup in the CJRB Pyrite-Light J1945. Once again, the brand has illustrated how much ground there may still be left to cover with what’s quickly become its best affordable all-around EDC knife.

The latest addition to the family

Admittedly, the new addition’s name (CJRB Pyrite-Light J1945) doesn’t do it justice. So what’s different about this version when compared to others?

For starters, it’s a member of the Light sub-lineup, meaning it’s much lighter than its standard siblings — 2.86 ounces, in fact. This is largely due to its fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) handle scales.

However, that’s not the only thing this knife has going for it. The most interesting swap is probably its Wharncliffe blade material. While its siblings get the brand’s proprietary AR-RPM9 steel (similar to D2), this knife gets S90V.
