The James Brand out of Portland Oregon was created by engineers and adventurers who were more interested in quality and functionality than in flashy looks.  They feel that a knife you carry everyday should maintain a minimalist aesthetic while performing flawlessly.
Their latest creation fully embodies their mission statement.  The James Folsom Knife ($99) is their first liner-lock blade and also their first made for ambidextrous use.  The cutout opening slot makes for easy one-handed operation, while the 2.81″ drop-point style blade is made of tough Carpenter CTS-BD1 stainless steel.  The handle is G-10 synthetic with a scale pattern for a solid grip. The washers are phosphor bronze, the frame is 416 stainless, black-oxide coated, and the mounting clip is reversible & holds the Folsom in a tip up position.  There are three color combos to choose from, black & black, bone & black, or Electric Moss & stainless steel.  It is balanced for easy sharpening and James guarantees you will be using this knife for many years to come.
