From quick cuts to tough tasks, one of the best tools for the job is the humble liner-lock knife. You’ve probably seen enough of them as full-on tactical folders or as old-fashioned hunting knives. But for many EDCers, those designs don’t quite fit in with their day-to-day lives and the rest of their essentials. That’s why The James Brand designed the Folsom — their modern classic re-imagination of the tried-and-true liner-lock. Despite its stylish looks it’s no shelf queen, pairing hardy materials with a simple yet effective design resulting in a knife that’s ready to get to work, stay by your side for the long haul, and look good doing it. It’s a capable companion for the adventurous EDCer who relies on their knife around town, out in the backcountry, and everywhere in between.
The Folsom comes as a more substantial knife, with a 3.4 oz weight, fuller 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.
Since the best knife is the one you have on you, the Folsom comes equipped with a beefy 416 stainless steel reversible pocket clip for easy, tip-up EDC. A contrasting lanyard hole towards the back end of the handle opens up more carry options as well. The Folsom’s simple format lays the foundation for tons of customization options so you’re sure to find a Folsom that fits your needs. You can go with G10 scales for performance and grip on par with modern blades, or opt for Micarta or Ebony Wood scales for that traditional look and organic feel in hand. The blade comes in stainless or PVD coated black, and in a classic straight edge or a versatile serrated combo edge as well.
