This is seriously classy, well designed knife. The micarta finish feels great in the head & the action is super smooth. I also love the colour - some have commented they expected a more "green" looking micarta, which to be honest I had expected as well but I love the natural micarta look, so am stoked. It's "the goat!"

So far feels high quality, I like the grip look and feel. It’s probably going in my EDC rotation…Good stuff from the James Gang! 👍🏼😏

The Carter is a wonderful knife, very well made and beautiful. The only thing is the color. I was expecting a darker green color (I purchased the OD Green Micarta); it looks more brown/tan than green.

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.
