Amazing Gentleman's Carry Knife
I typically prefer bigger knives when I'm wearing jeans (PM2, 940-1, American Lawman, ZT0562, etc.), but even with the China Virus I still have to put on business casual every day. Also in the summer when wearing light weight shorts, gentleman's carry knives win.
I have some excellent Gentleman's knives. I love my Benchmade Valet and Spyderco Chapparal Raffir Noble. The Valet…

is an awesome knife and I bought mine 2nd hand off eBay, but it still cost 3x+ what the Ria cot. The Chapparal is a looker but in many of the pants I wear my wedding ring tends to scratch up the beautiful scales. I also love my Spyderco Manbug in K390 with a simple lanyard, but it is too small for many tasks
So why do I LOVE the Ria. Yes it is an excellent value but what I love is the way it fires. The detent on the Ria is MAGIC. It doesn't take much pressure but once you push the thumb stud enough -- BANG! I also love the Micarta, classy but won't ever show a scratch. The pocket clip is perfect. Metal Complex made me look for this knife and that had a milled clip that looked sweet, but it still left a little knife showing. This is a 100% deep carry clip that slides in/out perfectly. While I am right handed, I typically carry left so I can keep my keys in my right pocket. The Ria leaves so much space and I don't worry about the contact.
Sorry if you are a Southpaw. This is not the knife for you. I don't know much about this new proprietary steel. I am kind of a steel snob. Of the dozen folders I own, the cheapest heretofore has been D2. I don't worry much about corrosion resistance here in the PRI (People's Republic of Illinois) and I am comfortable in freehand sharpening S110V. This knife has great blade geometry and it will do most EDC tasks just fine even if you let it get dull. However, if you strop it frequently, I believe it will be a monster -- it is very thin behind the edge.
My prior recommendation to newbies was the R2D2. It is still a great knife, but stand aside. This is my #1 recommendation for gentleman's carry and right-handed newbies.
Cute & Capable
First thing to state with this Micarta variant of the Ria. It's not in D2 or 12C27 steel. It's a new powder steel that Artisan created, called AR-RPM9. Having just received this, I can't speak to its performance though.
This thing's pretty sweet. It's a LOT smaller than I anticipated from only seeing pictures. It's very much a gentleman's carry rather than CJRB's other offerings…

that are much larger. That being said, I can amazingly get a 4-finger grip on the handle with my larger hands. With the handle color and texture, it would probably find itself most comfortable in the pocket of a tweed coat.
The action is quite smooth thanks to the ceramic bearings in the pivot and detent ball. I also love how the front body screw and pivot are T8 so stripping them during disassembly is much less of a worry.
Keep in mind, this is a knife exclusively for right-handers. The way the thumb stud snuggles into the handle, they couldn't incorporate one on the left side as it would compromise the strength of the liner lock.
I knocked a star off due to it being kind of uncomfortable to disengage the liner lock. They did contour the liner a bit, but you won't get much of a chance to feel it as it's buried in the handle, with the only relief being the divot that the thumb stud rests in when closed.
