Anyone else have any knives from this company? CJRB being the budget line of Artisan.

Very nice. I need to avoid threads like this. Your ZT thread caused me to buy one.

I picked up a 0350TS and an ESEE-5PB-002. A couple of Christmas presents to myself.

I’ve yet to snag a 350 but I’m sure I’ll get around to it soon!

P220 Smudge
You know, there were some on Drop (Massdrop) that I was eyeballing. D2 tool steel wearing jade G10 for under $50 is pretty tempting. I like the middle one in the top pic you posted, Grumpy.

I have a Briar, 2) Centros & a Feldspar (large) all in D2. I’m not a steel snob so for an EDC knife in that price range it’s all I’ll need. All their knives run on caged bearings and are smooth as a bearing knife should be. If ZT tried to sell a 0562 with D2 @ $240... I’d laugh !
I’m very impressed with the CJRB Centros & the Artisan Archaeo.

Decided to do a hand hammered finish on the Archaeo scales. Using a small hammer with removable tips I was able to add some texture to these plain handles. Now I’m just waiting on the patina to get started !!

Decided to step up and get the Titanium Frame Lock model with S35vn blade. More than 3 times the cost but worth it. Fit & finish are spot on !

These look just awesome! I went to their website and they are quite affordable.
Do you know where they are made?

^^^Made in China, though I believe at least some (all?) are 'assembled' in the US.
