CJRB Centros Linerlock Gray J1905GYF

I had a long back and forth between buying the Centros or Feldspar. Ultimately I went with the Centros for the reasons below.-Longer Blade. As much as sub 3’ knifes are handy there is something about having a bit more substance when running normal EDC tasks-Handle Construction. The Centros handle is pretty rock solid and gives great ergos-Blade material. I know what folks think but for ball bearings and the slicey D2 blade the only other knife that comes close is the Rat 2Overall I have to say it’s been a winner. The knife might be a touch heavy but more than makes up for it in ergos and quality construction and blade grind.

This has been most used work knife, ie knife you beat on and don’t care. Used to be my OKC Rat 1 , this centros has better action , steel is same D2 as the rat. Both hold a edge for awhile. Ergonomics in the hand, Centros fits a little better. Centros has g10 on the handle scales which provides better grip then the Rats GRN/FRN not sure which is on the Rat but not as grippy as g10.Only con would be a very fine tip on the centros, little hint don’t pry with any knife, especially the tip on the Centros.

Pros:-Great flipping action for a "budget" knife-Perfect detent out of the box adding to the smooth feel of the action. Can middle finger flick and reverse flick it open with ease-Extremely sharp out of the box-Gray G10 scales look incredibleCons:-Pocket clip not my jam as with all CJRB's I've used. Digs into my hand a bit when holding the knife. No aftermarket clips available eitherI absolutely love this knife. It has such a great design and build quality for such a great price that I see myself picking up at least one more of these despite the pocket clip.

This is a sweet knife. Fits the whole hand well. Flips open easily. Looks great. Reasonably sharp on arrival. Clip attaches on either side. Blade is sturdy when open. Great knife for the price. I ordered another one.

I recently started collecting pocket knives and the CJRB Centros is by far my favorite. The action was a little stiff out if the box but is now butter smooth after a couple of days flicking it open and closing it. Blade length is perfect for EDC, not to mention it's super slicey ..and the design is fantastic. Weight wise it also disappears in pocket, and the slim design never gets in the way. For the price, you can't go wrong. Highly recommend it. I'm now a fan of CJRB.

Nice blade steel and shape. It's quite a large knife with a very strong detent but once you can get past it, it fires open like an assisted knife. Once given a tune up this knife on bearings is drop shut smooth. Very thin behind the edge and stock, cuts.

This knife is hit and miss when it comes to locking when opened. More than once, have had to really make two or three tries to lock the blade out. Looks like lint gets caught in catch. Not worth the money.

I just received this knife today. It’s a little thicker and a little heavier than my preferred EDCs, but neither are enough to say it’s a real negative. For the price, it’s an outstanding knife. It’s centered, good action, no play, D2 steel and good looking. If you’re on a budget, this is a great knife to buy. With the blade profile, you shouldn’t be prying open paint cans or anything like that. That’s not what it was designed for.
