- LRLindsay R.Verified BuyerI recommend this productRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoI sleep with this masterpiece!!!!
This knife is nothing short of exquisite. Fits perfectly in my hand. The right amount of balance. Every time I pull it out of my pocket for use and possibly a little admiration (both, I think), I'm guaranteed the task will get finished & heads will turn. I am beyond satisfied.

I’ve written a review of the Folsom which is my daily pocket knife. Now the Carter.
Very attractive knife. I got it in the Damascus/black Micarta. Very well made knife. Centered blade, smooth action. And yes it is not a loud click when you open. It’s more like … muffled? Dimmed? I don’t know the word. But it’s not bad. Just a little more classy I guess.
This would definitely be my night knife.

I really like my new knife! I’m an avid knife collector and have lots of knives from all around the world. I’ve been collecting since I was about 15 years old and while I was in the army I traveled all over the world and picked up knives from every place that I was. But, I have to say this is one of the best made knives that I own now! I really love the way it opens and closes. It’s very smooth. I have to give it a “5”. Proudly!!!

Recently received James brand The Carter serrated. Iove this knife from the sleek design to functionality. Perfect size for an EDC, scales have a beautiful finish and have not scuffed at all and the action on the blade is super crisp. Would highly recommend.
