Slipjoints and 'Classics Patterns' as they call them come in all shapes and sizes, but most notable and iconic to the James Brand family and customer is the Barlow. The Wayland represents our take on this classic pattern with clean execution and insane materials. Utilizing no visible hardware and premium steel, this classic will surely last the test of time and look good doing it. Pass this down and continue the story of this modern knife.

Maximum utility in our most minimal package. 

When it comes to designing tools that are used day in and day out, we believe firmly that less is more. The Elko embodies this idea in its compact form, multi-functional utility, and time-tested materials. With a sizable blade and an all around pry tool, screwdriver, bottle opener, thing-scratcher – you have what you need, and nothing you don’t. We created the Elko to always be ready at your side, and not bulk up your carry.

Minimal yet multiplied

Born from the same lineage as the Elko, The Ellis was designed to be the in-pocket, multi-function knife that you’ll be reaching for multiple times a day. We asked ourselves “What things do you really need from a knife like this?” and then we took everything else away. With its anodized aluminum scales, a partially serrated blade and a combination screwdriver and bottle-opener you won’t know how you ever got along without it.

Sometimes everyday carry means more than what you can put in your pockets.

Introducing the Hell Gap; our first fixed blade knife. Named after the Hell Gap arrowhead found in Platte County, Wyoming, the Hell Gap is a rugged workhorse, like the land of its namesake. Built around an s35vn steel blade and canvas Micarta scales, it’s a cutting polymath; built to be capable of doing work ranging from digging roots in the backyard to dicing onions for your camp breakfast burrito.

The Compact Pen Re-Imagined.

It’s good to always have a pen handy; it’s a fundamental piece of EDC gear. But sometimes a full-size pen can be too much for everyday carry. That’s why we created the Stilwell; the TJB take on the compact pen. It’s small in size, but punches well above its weight class. With its minimal form, it will easily ride in your pocket all day, but when it’s time to do work the Stilwell is all business.

Details Matter

The Stilwell fits perfectly in your coin pocket, but it’s easily deployed with one hand using the removable lanyard. The lanyard tucks away inside the cap when in use, and is designed to be rattle-free. To ensure that the Stilwell writes well in whatever conditions you get yourself into, we use a black D1 roller-ball ink cartridge. The D1 cartridge is ubiquitous; easily found all over the world. With its titanium or aluminum construction, it’s designed to stand up to hard daily use. The Stilwell uses a triple O-ring construction to securely lock the cap in place, in both the open and closed position.

A nice little sidekick for your hip.

If you are looking for a way to keep that key bulk out of your pocket and have a few extra EDC tools at your disposal, the James Brand Hook is what you need. It's a great complement to any of our regular knife lineup, with a bottle opener, belt clip and laser-etched ruler. You'll be amazed at how often you end up using the Hook to solve little inconveniences in your life.

The smaller, smarter carabiner for everyday carry. Make your nice denim look even nicer. Designed to be precisely one belt-loop wide, the Holcombe comes in a slim form that hangs straight and won’t rock. With a spring-loaded wire gate, the Holcombe stays firmly attached to wherever you keep it. Your keys are kept safe in a secondary compartment, so there’s no fear of getting stranded on your next adventure. The Holcombe also features a flat-head screwdriver and our semi-famous All Things® scraper.Hol
