The James Brand

The James Brand designs knives and pocket tools with a minimal look, made to be carried every day. The brand began in Portland, Oregon.

History

The studio was founded in 2012 by a group of designers and adventurers looking for better-made objects. It relies on quality materials, clean lines and attention to detail.

Its headquarters is in Oceanside, California, and its design studio sits in a town known for its concentration of knife makers. The brand stresses real rather than imagined uses.
