Quick Verdict
The CJRB Riff J1928 is a rugged button-lock folding knife designed for heavier EDC use. Featuring a 3.47" AR-RPM9 steel blade with stone wash finish and flat grind, it offers solid edge retention and durability. The oversized button lock, full steel liners, and chunky Micarta/G10 scales provide confident handling. Smooth ceramic ball bearings ensure snappy deployment via flipper tab. At 150g, it's a substantial but capable work knife that fills the gap for users wanting a hard-use button-lock folder.
What We Like
- Durable AR-RPM9 powder steel with HRC59-61 hardness
- Reliable oversized button lock with steel liners
- Smooth ceramic ball bearing pivot action
- Versatile drop point blade profile
- Dual handle options (Micarta or G10) for grip preference
Considerations
- Heavier than typical EDC folders at 150g
- Larger 8.19" overall length may limit pocket carry
- Button lock not ambidextrous-friendly
