Fun fact: Civivi milled titanium pocket clip fits the Pyrite 😊
Can you buy just the clips?
Never mind I just found them! Thanks for the info.
@Dan Pennella they the ones with t8 screws on amazon?
Is it the one with t8 bolts?
Is the Civivi Ti clip much tighter than the stock Pyrite clip? I just got one and I'm not a huge fan of how easily it slides out of my pocket with the smooth steel handle
This video aged like fine wine.
The pyrite project on kickstarter hit ever single one of MC's points.
Thanks to you MC I already have one had it on pre-order but I have all of them. Thanks MC your the best knife reviewer on CZcams!
This just became my new EDC, and I couldn’t be happier! Scalpel sharp, and the action is smooth as butter. LOVE it!
Love this review, love your personality coming through. Thank you for putting the effort into these reviews!
Hey picked one of these up after watching your unboxing video, great recommendation!! Absolutely love this knife! Thanks
Thanks for the great review!! Got one coming in the mail now
Extremely awesome knife; both the og blade and the new one. People are saying the EKKO is better but I think what the Pyrite has in it’s favor is the size; I think most edc people tend to lean toward a smaller profile overall so I think the Pyrite will still reign supreme. Either way well done CJRB!
Excellent review! Just ordered mine on Blade HQ! What a cool looking knife!
I just ordered myself a CJRB Pyrite reverse Tanto, all black, button lock knife. It’s the sexiest knife I’ve seen. Great knife review, Metal Complex…!!!
I was going to get a Pyrite, but then CJRB came out with the Ekko button lock that has a sheepsfoot blade, and I'm pretty happy. Even the exclusive version from KnifeCenter (with titanium bolsters & milled clip and black micarta) falls under MC's $75 budget knife ceiling.
My Knifecenter Ekko is supposed to be here any time now.
Watching this even though the thing is currently sitting in my pocket
Same
Heard that, got mine two days ago 😂
My Pyrite was a grand purchase. Thanks for the recommendation.
Got mine in the mail on Tuesday. My first CJRB and I’m happily surprised. Could easily be a pricier knife. Love the blade shape!
Im gonna say it... The Warncliffe blade shape is the best blade shape... period.
I know right. It's like both slicey and stabby.
I ordered one 2 days ago and it just got here 5 mins ago. Oh boy, am I happy. I absolutely love this thing and it's only been 5 mins. The black one.
Love the look, really hope they make a flipper tab version. May buy one, definitely will if they come out with a flipper tab variant
Ordered mine, very much looking forward to it
Got one of these a few days ago and it’s great. These budget knives approaching Chris Reeve tolerances is pretty impressive.
Do you or anyone know what kinda resale demand/money there is for the CRK Mnandi? Or is anyone looking for one? I saw an absolutely mint Damascus version with the box and everything it comes with still sitting in a pawnshop the other day. It’s flawless. Not a scuff or mark on it. I could probably walk out with it for $450ish, it’s been there a long time. But I’m not a CRK action guy or I’d get it for myself.
Have the 2 inch one. Love it so much, I just ordered this one !!!!
I missed a couple days of uploads and just had to binge watch 5 videos. This is not a complaint.
I just ordered mine. Very very happy
Just ordered mine, always watch your channel before purchasing a knife
Got mine yesterday and already flicked it like 1000 times😂 absolutely love it.
Metal complex out here doing work so we all got great content 👌🏽😎🤟🏽
I'll have to pick one up in this blade shape. I'm really excited about the Large size coming soon. I really need the large to come in the Titanium scale format.
Its just the best EDC. I agree some texture would be nice for looks and grip, gets a little slick if hands are wet, sweaty, etc. Thanks
Just got mine. I love it. Button is a little crunchy but only day one. Carry for work for a while for sure. Works great for boxes the blades perfect
Button got better in days. My favorite knife probably and I own several more expensive ones for sure
Just bought one!!!! Yeehaw I cannot wait
Great little knive, cheers
Captive pivot, mine has one. I have the new wharncliffe with titanium shoulder/micarta scale Knife Center exclusive. I took it apart because it had button stick. I had to sand and polish a burr on the button. Happy to discover the captive pivot. That button on my example was a manufacturing defect.
Like this , waiting to see if there’s an xl coming or maybe diff versions of this or ekko. Instead i bought a 4 max scout on sale for $50. Will wait on a sale or xl version probably since i have steel original pyrite already
Metal Complex! Excellent dude!!
@metal_complex the G10 variants have captive pivots, and the pivots in the steel models are D-shaped, but pivot hole in the steel models is strangely not D-shaped to match the pivot.
Just something I’ve noticed. So you do get a captive pivot with the G10/steel liner models.
I would love an XL version with this blade! Do it CJRB!
DO IT! 4.25" - 4.5" blade.
HELL YEAH!!! DO IT!!! 6” PYRITE!!! GIVE IT TO ME!!! (I enjoy the base size despite sounding like a size queen)
Maybe check out the CJRB Ekko? It's a bit bigger and has similar lines and functionality. Haven't tried it myself but it's been tempting me...
@B Dizzle the Ekko is cool but I don't really need the front flipper... might pick one up anyways.
@@T_D_B_ I'm looking forward to MC's review of it!
Thanks for mentioning living on or near the ocean to think before buying…. I live right in the coast 😅. Thanks MC
I have the titanium bolster exclusive that I discovered thanks to comments from the incredible MC community. Had to wait a few months for it to come off backorder, but well worth the wait. My only issue with it is some occasional lock stick that prevents it from being deployed with the thumbstuds till you grab the blade and manually cycle it. Can't wait to see more versions of this because the steel isn't my jam. I'd love to see a titanium with inlaid micarta like that SE they did. That new blade shape is a real SPROING for me.
Happened to me with several button locks across brands. Try loosening all the hardware and realigning everything, and then retightening.
If you leave some screws slightly loose (and lock tight then), you can experiment with the action quite a bit.
Thanks MC. I don’t know anything about knives, but I’m trying to learn. Do these companies not put in things like T8s all around or a locked pivot in just because of cost to do so?
Lucky to get the WMK exclusive aluminum frag handle recently. I love it, light weight, small enough to be a fifth pocket carry for me.
I have the black on black with silver accent.
The lock up on deployment is the most satisfying sound. The solid steel is the way to go.
FYI, Knife Center has a titanium bolster/micarta inlay version for $73 that looks very classy. I don't buy a lot of budget knives anymore but this is tempting me.
They don't have them with blade shape yet.
I have it and recommend it, but it's the original blade shape as stated. Titanium bolsters are a fantastic thing though. Love em. And this knife is really a great deal.
I agree with the index finger button press. 👍👍
Lifetime Movie!!! Lol. You're on today MC.
The thumb stud or the whole aisle of the knife but I can't decide why the whole would be better than the stud, any help
Can you adjust the button height on these? Like maybe through a pivot adjustment?
Hope you can do a comparison with the Ekko.
Sitting here fidgeting with a Brian Brown Raptor and I’m still fighting the urge to order one of these just to beat the piss out of. The blade is just a hair too small for me. 3.25-4” blade length is my ideal size. I cut a lot of 2”-3” rubber hose regularly at work and need every inch of blade that I can get. A good hollow grind makes a huge difference as well.
MC you are to funny I live in a very wild part of AK, I just got one of these full black. Nice blade. Also picked up my first AKC
Just a heads up what about the blue titanium knife from Ontario, mines already in the mail
where do you people see G10 version of this reverse tanto Pyrite? I can't find it anywhere!
My first pyrite
This blade shape on the ekko would be my of the year for suuuuure
Can anyone with this knife tell me the diameter of the pin the blade pivots from is? Planning to get this knife to mod but I need to know that info
Waiting for the WMK exclusive fragged aluminum wharnie version coming in June.
It’s a little too small for my taste, but if they make a large Pyrite, I’m in! Such a good looking knife, and it’s awesome that it’s so well executed as a budget knife. We are living in good times for knives.
They made a XL pyrite!!
Yes, your wish was granted! And the KnifeCenter has a couple nice exclusive versions.
@@mikeschroeder7703 I saw that! It will quite possibly be my next knife purchase.
This blade is a tool not a toy. Beats 14c28n Fidget Toy Steel, hands down. Like you say, not a super steel but it works hard. This ar-rpm9 has edge retention and the design functions. A hollow grind version would be very interesting.
Drop point is the most aesthetic blade shape.. I'd love to see the thumb hole on it. A clip point pyrite might be cool too
I’m praying they make the sand polish version like the og pyrite 🙏 missed out on the first one
what is the difference between this and a "cutlery" pyrite?
Just ordered a black one.
My current only button lock is a Milwaukee fastback (unless you count automatics because I have a Kalashnikov XXL) but I might have to pick one of these up to see how much I like it. Also looking at the CIVIVI Chevalier, but I really like the look of that little knife
I'm about to order this one and I'm extremely excited. If you want a first button lock I highly recommend this one or the ekko by cjrb it's an incredible knife as well
The artisan cutlery store has them in stock plus a 10 percent discount when you give your email
Signed up for notifications when they're back in stock 😏
What about the EKKO?
Please compare this to the CJRB Ekko with the same blade shape and front flipper.
Just bought two for Christmas gifts
same =D
Just found my next hunting and fishing knife stainless steel all the way through never have to worry about it getting wet and it's an affordable price you could ding it up dull it up beat the heck out of it come home sharpen it up your good to go for the next trip
Is Ruike the same company/manufacturer as CJRB???
If it didn't have the finger choil it might be a perfect every-level knife. Everything else looks excellent!
I am waiting for my Wharncliffe pyrite with the frag aluminium scales
Just ordered two from BladeHQ with their exclusive pyrite in S90V.
Just got mine today, button a little sticky out of the box, but we'll see how it breaks in
@@theponz13 holy shit... Mine too! After flipping it for about an hour there's bite marks on the button lock. I send BHQ an email
@HyDx49 I did too. They replied this morning that they haven't had other complaints yet but to let them know if it doesn't break in. They offered a refund.
Been carrying it all day at work and it is better, but still acts like there's a detent keeping the blade open when the button is pressed - it doesn't drop shut freely until you move it manually at first.
I might just pop it open and see if there's a burr in there or something.
Sorry to repeat myself from the comments on your last video, but having handled both, the Ekko takes it for best budget button lock. As good as the Pyrite is, the Ekko wins for 3 reasons (for me):1- better grip with hand melting ergos, 2- addition of a highly usable front flipper in addition to the same awesome cutout, 3- more cutting edge because of slightly more belly and no forward choil even though you can still choke up to the very top of the handle. I do like the more pokey tip of the Pyrite and both knives need a longer row of jimping that goes farther up the blade.
I also bought the Ekko and agree with you. It is everything the Pyrite is and more. The front flipper adds to the overall value and it retains the reverse Tanto blade.
@@franksalem8580 Another thing I forgot to mention about the Ekko is how the handle taper of the choil lines up perfectly with the blade hole, allowing for better clearance for thumb flicking. If you look at the Pyrite, the taper is smaller and too high up because they designed it for the thumb studs version and didn't change it.
@@jonathanklein7875 Yes, the Ekko is the more perfect of the 2 knives. We need to get Metal Complex to see this.
@Frank Salem 😂. I don't think MC is worried about it. Also, he mentions in the video that this was filmed several weeks ago... it may have been before he handled the Ekko, so I'll be looking forward to his inevitable opinions on it at a later time.
Im waiting for the pyrite large to drop.
Do it later like Demko, AD20.5 Has both
You murdered the stock. But they'll be back!
I cant seem to work the opening hole. I got stung in the thumb five minutes after opening it. Can i add an aftermarket thumbstud??? Any one?? Beuller? Anyone??😂
You should make a playlist ( for newer people ) called evergreens.
the thing that sucks about the free-spinning pivot, is that its still a D-shaped pivot. The pivot holes on the scales are the problem...
That blade is clearly octopus Wednesday spaghetti high five surprise.
The Laconico CJRB Ekko is the next Knife of the Year candidate.
Posting this everywhere to help make it happen but they need a 3” or just sub 3” version for workplace carry. Other than that, this thing is just about perfect. Bought one based on the reviews and it makes much more expensive knives feel completely unnecessary
A xl with a warncliff a big cut out hole and blue mircarta please 🙏 a boy can dream
Do you read the makers product description before making videos?
What is it that you're concerned I missed?
i def prefer to have/also have studs...
Hey mc I have a question, why do you Pronounce tanto like that? Just curious
Because he lives in Kansas? 😁
Because "TAHWN-TOE" sounds a little too dramatic. Even if it's the correct pronunciation. I just can't do it. I say "Shaman" wrong too. It is what it is
@metal_complex I don’t know if I believe you about it being to dramatic considering all the different voices that you do
@@joesimons2792 it doesn't sound good to me. Probably never gonna say it right. Sorry
@metal_complex I get it, everybody has their own weird pronunciation for some words. I definitely don’t say everything correctly
Hey MC, Nick Shabazz just dropped a disassembly video. It's a captive pivot! Perfection!
I agree with you almost 95% but myself I can't stand when 1 side of the knife has texture or graffiti and the bavk side does not
Its almost perfect....put the reverse tanto blade into the ti scales, then its perfect!
Octopus Tuesday Spaghetti High Five Surprise
I'm over here asking if he came up with that on the fly or has had that in his back pocket waiting for the perfect moment.
Give me a polished MagnaCut blade and a titanium handle version
I only have the original Pyrite and the new Ekko, but neither one has anything approaching a traditional detent. I've never handled a knife that shakes out easier than my Pyrite. Otherwise they're fine. I don't get the hype.
Not all pyrites are that loose. I’ve had 2 so far and one was really loose and one is fairly tight. Looks like it’s pretty inconsistent judging from anecdotes in the wild.
I think they are going after medium level modders and newbies to moddig. They'll drop a buncha mods, upgrades right after release. That's why they left them bland. I really don't need a new knife right now but that new blade is my fave...ugh...wife will kill me
...
I have the standard drop point stainless one...aaaand now...another? 😂
Octopus tuesday spaghetti high-five surprise🎉🎉🎉
I say its the best action under $500
Lifetime movie bhaaaaa 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
At this state of the game with CJRB right in the mix, a spinning pivot is a bit lame at this point.
Yay
I'm #1
I didn't think the Pyrite is for me. I think it's just a little too plain.
Would not recommend cjrb. Their customer service does not exist and their quality control has gone downhill. I now have four and my original was by far the best. I most recenlt bought the limited edition with s90v which is $200 and cannot even open it with one hand. Extremely disappointed and I can't even get a response from them.
I hate learning about this. I have around 4 or 5 CJRBs. Luckily, I have not had any issues to need to utilize their customer service. I'm just curious if you've been able to get this issue resolved yet?
@@qas-gu8owthe detent ball fell out of my feldspar on a disengage and I’ve been waiting on them to reply for two years. It seems they’ve improved on their recent models but it’s disappointing
