The James Brand Folsom comes as a substantial knife, with a 3.4 oz weight, full proportions, and a balanced blend of clean lines and gentle curves for a comfortable, ergonomic grip. Its 4” closed length and slim G10 handles give plenty of control and durability you'd want in a workhorse knife while keeping weight and bulk down in the pocket. A large, triangular thumbhole allows for easy, ambidextrous one-hand deployment when it's time to get to work. Its 2.75” blade length makes it easier to carry both in the pocket and in locales with stricter knife laws, while its classic drop point shape maximizes cutting edge to make it cut like a larger knife. Featuring Carpenter CTS-BD1 steel for its edge retention, corrosion resistance and low maintenance, combined with a stainless steel liner lock, the Folsom was designed to truly be put through the paces.

I've been eyeing the Carter and Folsom for a while, as they are great looking knives. I just can't get over the price though. For what they charge you can get a knife with better materials. Maybe some day I'll have enough cash and no more reasonably priced knives I want and I'll get one.
