    The more I see this thing the more I like it! I love the Pyrite line and I think they definitely need to explore more variations with the large; it’s such a great knife and with them making the plunge lock bigger to fit the knife it feels so much stronger.
    This lighter version is definitely a cool twist because they tweaked all the right things and just cut cost on the handle material but with it having texture and being contoured it is not at all a step backwards. I definitely need to get this version in hand

    I just received mine from Amazon. Mechanically it is fine, operating smoothly with a very sharp edge. Materials left a bit to be desired though. Not the FRN scales and AR-RPM (powdered AUS9) blade steel, you knew that going in. Mine came with a permanent diagonal stripe in the left side blade coating (bonus, no need to worry when I will first scratch the coating) and there were particles of grit embedded into the coating, large enough to catch on a fingernail, and requiring that nail to scrape free of the lens. Still, it is a $30 knife. Toss it into a workbox and don't worry about it. Bottom line, as long as your expectations aren't too high, you will get what you paid for.

    Kizer has a budget compression lock with the mini grouper. As well as vosteed with the raccoon. Standard plunge locks aren’t my style but they are fun to fidget with. Some people are ok buying several hundred dollar knives with weak plunge locks but whatever floats their boat

  • @JedHead3409
    @JedHead3409 Před 16 dny

    I would love to see this in non-coated or mirror DLC coated S90V. Based on the popularity of this one, I would be absolutely shocked if they didn’t do an S90V version. I only have their Prado, but the AR-RPM9 on mine loses its edge after cutting 10’ of cardboard. And it’s not due to a burnt edge, I have re-sharpened it five or six times myself on a fixed angle system at multiple different finishing grits. But a Pyrite light with S90V, I’m definitely a buyer

      Sometime you can turn the button and find a better spot for it to hit the blade tang. I use a rubber band on my finger tip. Push the button so it’s not fully engaged and turn it. It works sometimes.

    It is in fact not lighter than the original Alt G10 version, which is 2.5oz. that one definitely disappears more in the pocket being flat and lighter, but this one ultimately feels much better in the hand with an actually usable choil, for $15-$25 less, w/TS and not cutout. Win-win-win

      But from the CJRB website, the G-10 Alt-Pyrite is 3.7 ounces

    I think the Light is actually slightly heavier than the g10/steel liner pyrites due to the fact that the g10 version has milled liners. My Pyrite Alt in g10 weighs in at 2.5oz

      The plunge lock locking surfaces can also get banged up. While a cylinder is a strong shape for a locking system, the metal itself isn’t always able to shrug off any significant bumps and bangs.
