The James Brand makes some of the best everyday carry blades in the business, and that’s saying something given its youth amid more storied knife brands. Their latest is called The Pike, and it harkens to the past as well as pointing to the present. The Pike’s Sandvik 12c27 steel Wharncliffe-style blade can be paired with three colorways/materials including black G10, army green Micarta and stainless steel, and the stunning rosewood and brass combo. The non-locking blade provides easy deployment and closure, making it convenient for small, non-intensive chores. It’s an heirloom-worthy blade that’s sure to get a lot of compliments when you deftly carve your artful Jack-O-Lantern.
