CJRB EKKO J1929 Button Lock AR-RPM9 Steel Blade Folding Knives
Quick Verdict
The CJRB Ekko is a stellar collaboration with Ray Laconico featuring excellent fit and finish with AR-RPM9 steel at an unbeatable price point. The button lock mechanism provides secure blade retention while the ceramic bearings deliver exceptionally smooth deployment.
What We Like
- AR-RPM9 powdered steel holds edge well at HRC59-61
- Smooth ceramic bearing pivot for satisfying deployment
- Ray Laconico's clean, EDC-friendly design
- Multiple handle material options (Steel, Carbon Fiber, Micarta)
- Ambidextrous opening via front flipper or thumb hole
Considerations
- Wharncliffe blade shape not ideal for all tasks
- Button lock may be unfamiliar to some users
Overview
Description
We are proud to announce our first CJRB collaboration with Ray Laconico. The Ekko takes its inspiration from one of Ray’s newest custom designs. With Laconico’s signature clean form factor and EDC-friendly profile the Ekko delivers the perfect blend of rugged functionality and gentlemanly class with a 3.25” AR-RPM9 blade and inset liner construction. The knife can be deployed multiple ways by using the elongated thumb hole or the textured front flipper, allowing for satisfying and reliable deployment in any situation while a set of ceramic bearings ensure smooth action for the life of the knife. The Ekko comes in several variants to suit everyone’s taste including variants with G10 scales and a liner lock, an all-steel version with a button lock mechanism, and a version with micarta scales and a button lock. The Ekko is a standout design with an unbeatable sense of style that we are excited to get into your hands and put to work!
