The James Brand is a marquee that requires no introduction around these parts because you’re all very well aware of the sleek, stylish, and performance-oriented pocket knives that the brand has been producing for ages. Their latest, The Redstone, is a bit of a departure from their usual fare because the focus is on being a compact and lightweight outdoor knife you’ll have with you at all times. It’s still built around a die-stamped chassis for strength, features a slide-lock design, and a Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade for maximum edge retention and corrosion resistance. What’s more, James Brand The Redstone is available in Coral + Turquoise / Glacier + Stainless / Black on Black / OD Green + Black colorways right now. Honestly, those kinds of palette options make these decisions easy, but they’re all great options when considered with the James Brand quality. We’re probably going to buy all four and give the unused ones as gifts.
