At The James Brand we’re dedicated to making the very best knives and tools and to always pushing the boundaries of what is possible. In that spirit, we are proud to introduce the Barnes. The Barnes is a titanium framelock, and it's our very first integral design. The Barnes is CNC-machined from one solid billet of 6AL4V titanium, which means fewer parts, less maintenance and the ability to do things with the form that you cannot do in standard knife construction. The Barnes is built around a 3.5 inch Bohler M390 stainless steel blade; this is our first knife with M390 which is widely regarded as the singular best blade steel. The blade runs on a stainless steel pivot and ceramic bearings, and the clip is CNC-machined titanium as well. The Barnes comes with our very first coin design, as it's bad luck to give a knife as a gift without exchanging the coin, and comes with a paracord lanyard. It's finest and most most technically advanced knife we've ever made.

The pocket knife reimagined.
The Pike started with a simple brief: create a modern take on your grandfather’s knife – a simple, clean interpretation of the classic non-locking slip-joint. We paired inviting, warm materials with a clean, modern form meant for those who wanted to carry a knife in their pocket, not on their hip. The result was a slim, minimal design that's destined to become a modern heirloom.

Hell Gap

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.
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.
The Benton uses a 304 stainless steel barrel design, which means you won’t crack your cartridge – keeping the ink where it’s meant to be, on the page. With its pusher-mounted lanyard, you can pull it from your pocket easily, or you can keep it at the ready with the PVD-coated steel pocket clip (or both). The Benton will become a staple of your everyday-carry before you know it.
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.
