Crag series

This knife has been such an impressive piece of cutlery! I have been collecting, using, working with, and training with knives for well over a decade now. But to see how the budget range of knives have really upped their game in what they have to offer is astonishing! I bought this knife a little over a year ago, I chose this knife because for a while I was using a sog flashback as my beater knife I carried to work, cut boxes with, dug out things with, did light prying with, and all around stupid semi abusive activities with. I will be honest I hate the flashback, I wanted a knife that was cheap in price, but high in value, well made, held an edge well, and overall cut well! Boy did I find what I was looking for in this knife! Firstly I bought this on sale for $34, and at that price how could I say no? It has a powder formed version of 9Cr18MoV steel in Artisan/CJRB's proprietary formula they brought to the budget market. I love this steel! It's extremely rust resistant, holds an edge very well, and comes back to life on a ceramic rod and a strop. I use this knife everyday, I have broken down hundreds of feet of cardboard and it's still shaving sharp with the factory edge! It's never gone fully dull, I just touch it up with a ceramic rod, light stropping and it's back in action! The coating has held up phenomenally, still no scratches to the coating and it's been dropped on concrete, stood up to sea water while on my boat here in Florida, been through fruit, cardboard, tape, wood, etc. The peel ply carbon fiber is very classy looking for such an affordable knife! I will say it does have some hot spots on the edges of the scales, specifically on the inner edges of the steel liners. However it's a sub $50 knife full price so not too much to complain about. The grind is symmetrical, thin behind the edge but with enough meat to withstand tougher media on this flat grind. The action is fairly snappy and smooth, although before it was broken in, my finger occasionally would slip off the flipper tab since it has no jimping. The red pivot collar is attractive and really pops on the black background of the knife. It's definitely not as high quality as my more expensive knives, but for a budget beast, it's one hell of a knife! I couldn't recommend this knife more! CJRB/Artisan knocked this out of the park.

Sharp blade upon opening I cut my finger be careful. Lol 😝 Such a good knife I bought two of them. Good price in my opinion .

I recently purchased 3 knives from CRJB, a Rampart, Barranca, and this knife, the Crag, all with the copper scale options. The main difference between the 3 comes down to blade shape so I'll lump most of my thoughts all together for the review. One thing to point out with the Crag is despite all the listings at all retailers I could find and Artisan Cutlery's own site stating the blade is D2 mine is stamped as AR-RPM9. Artisan did announce a while back they'd be moving several knives under the CRJB brand from D2 to AR-RPM9 so maybe they're still clearing out "old" D2 stock. If you have a strong preference for either steel it might be a good idea to contact sellers first to see if they can verify what you'll be getting. These are all fairly "budget" options, especially considering the copper which tends to run a bit more pricey than some other material options. Blades all came decently sharp, well enough to be put to work right away with no issues. One knife did have a small chip on the spine near the tip and another has the edge grind go up in to the plunge line making it look like it was someone's first day sharpening, but neither issue impacts use. 2 of the 3 had a pretty nasty grinding feel at the pivot so I tore the knives apart to clean everything well and apply oil. After that they're all nice and smooth, definitely not in the fall shut category but a gentle shake or two and they close up nicely. Detents are maybe a touch on the weak side for my personal preferences, but I can't shake them open and I have no concerns they will ever open without intent. None of the knives have failed to fully deploy unless I clearly messed up. Fit and finish is a bit of a mixed bag. The knives that have already been taken apart were pretty raggedy, the liners have random grind marks in places, one had a couple copper chips stuck between the liner and scales. The screws were a bit tricky to get out, there's some sort of dried goo acting as a thread locker I'd assume, but it's still quite sticky when trying to remove. All knives look just fine when assembled. The copper scales do have concentric rings from the machining that are almost not noticeable when looking but can be felt. Nothing bad, but if you're looking for super smooth shiny copper you'll have to put in some work. All things considered, I'm happy with each one, but you'll have to decide if the negative points are more than you'd like to deal with. If you don't want to take the time and effort to tune up a knife, or return one that needs tuning, I'd probably suggest to take a pass. If you're OK with putting in a little work to make the knife exactly how you want it, I think there are far worse options out there you could be getting.

Bien producto aunque la hija podrían hacerla más gruesa y mejorarla el recubrimiento bien

Good
