CJRB RUFFIAN (J1924-VT) Folding Knife, AR-RPM9 Powder Steel Blade, Violet Purple G10 Tactical Handle, EDC Knife Designed by Dirk Pinkerton

CJRB, a subsidiary of Artisan Cutlery Inc., is committed to providing precision-made tools that seamlessly integrate into our users' lifestyles, with a focus on quality, design, and functionality. Our CJRB line of products is designed with affordability and utility in mind, allowing our customers to own a tool with the renowned build quality and materials of Artisan Cutlery at an accessible price point.

Introducing the Ruffian, our first CJRB model, designed in collaboration with Dirk Pinkerton. This compact Wharncliffe-style knife strikes the perfect balance between three distinct worlds. While compact in size, the Ruffian's wide blade and razor-thin edge allow it to cut like a much larger knife. This versatile EDC (Every Day Carry) knife has something to offer for every situation, making it a reliable companion in your pocket.

Constructed from our proprietary AR-RPM9 steel, the Ruffian's blade offers an optimal blend of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening – the ideal choice for an everyday carry knife that can withstand the demands of your adventures. The wide Wharncliffe-style blade is designed to maximize cutting power while minimizing overall edge length, enabling even short cuts to bite deep and separate materials with ease. The fine tip is perfect for piercing cuts and detailed work, while the slight angle of the blade adds versatility when working on flat surfaces, keeping your fingers elevated from the cutting surface. Additionally, the blade's shape allows for effortless sharpening and maintenance.

Complementing the exceptional blade is the Ruffian's handle, crafted from durable G10 material. G10 is known for its temperature resistance, water resistance, non-reactivity, non-conductivity, and exceptional toughness, making it an excellent choice for those who demand reliable performance in any condition.

The Ruffian's design is the work of established knife maker Dirk Pinkerton, whose creations are distinguished by crisp lines, exceptional ergonomics, and practical, purpose-driven blades. We are thrilled to have collaborated with Dirk on this model, which we believe seamlessly combines his design language with CJRB's quality to deliver an incredible value-oriented knife that performs flawlessly.

For comfortable carry, the Ruffian features a four-position deep-carry pocket clip that discreetly secures the knife in your pocket. Additionally, a free-spinning lanyard pin allows for the use of lanyards without disrupting the flow of the scales.

The Ruffian is available in a variety of models, including the J1918D-BK, 1820P-BBK, 1845P-ODG, J1907-BCF, J1921B-BK, and 1842B-BBK, each offering unique combinations of blade materials, handle finishes, and accessories to suit your preferences.
