It's 2026 and the knife enthusiast world has gotten weird.

I scroll daily and I see so many posts, videos, etc. filled with grown adults who have realized that the optics of being an adult and playing with a fidget spinner isn't good. So, they turn to knives instead. A lot having never used a knife in their lives. Constant talk about how it excels at being "fidgety", or something of the like. Now none of this is bad, but I wonder why the manufacturers are still making way too many knives with an antiquated liner lock, knowing that this puts the fingers of said fidgeters, right into the path of a closing blade. Surely making a top liner lock, clutch lock, or even a button lock as standard now, can't cost more than a couple bucks, right? /rant

Alright budget fam. Help me pick my new blade!

The choices are....

A) TacKnives Viper

B) CJRB Pyrite Light

C) CJRB Large Pyrite Light

Color isn't a concern as there are plenty to choose from. I only ask that you tell me why you made the choice you did over the other 2! Thanks to everyone who decides to give input!

EDIT!!!!!!!!: A decision has been made!!! I have ordered the LARGE AND THE REGULAR PYRITE LIGHT FROM CJRB!!!!! After a military discount from them of 15% both are being shipped to my door for $59! I just couldn't pass that deal up! THANK YOU to everyone who responded. The information shared by all was a benefit to me, and I'm sure it will benefit someone else who reads this post. Such a wonderful community we have here!!
