With the Carter you get both brawn and beauty.
Featuring a slide-lock mechanism, a corrosion-resistant VG-10 stainless steel blade, fully-profiled G10, Micarta or carbon fiber scales and a deep-carry, reversible pocket clip, the Carter is the most advanced knife we’ve ever made. It's slim and lightweight, but fully capable in any environment. It's also fully ambidextrous, and the pocket clip can easily be removed. The thumb disc design means that the Carter is easy to use with one hand, so it's at the ready in all situations. The Carter is going to immediately earn its spot in your EDC rotation.

Form and Function.
The Carter features slide-lock technology, a first for us here at TJB. The slide-lock is secure, easy to understand and ambidextrous. It’s designed for use with one hand, and has been a staple mechanism of everyday carry knives for a long time.

every detail considered
Designed & Made Better
The VG-10 stainless steel blade has great edge-retention and corrosion resistance. VG-10 was designed to handle the abuse of the culinary world, but because of its amazing characteristics, it’s found a home in the world of everyday carry. The Carter is available with G10 scales or in natural Micarta; both are fully sculpted and feel amazing in hand. The opening style uses a symmetrical thumb-disc on top of the blade, making for easy, affirmative one-handed opening. The deep-carry pocket clip is our deepest ever. It’s easily reversible (using a Torx T6, not included).
The Carter is available in regular and XL sizes, so it will fit hands and jobs of all sizes. If you are looking for something that is discreet and rides easily in any pocket all day, stick with the standard Carter. If you've got bigger hands, and need a full-size knife for hardcore work day in and day out, the Carter XL is for you.

- JDJames D.Verified BuyerRated 3 out of 5 stars2 months agoA little small
Nothing against the knife, my hands just do not fit it well, just know if your a bigger human, I am 6’9” 240 with big hands this knife will not be super useful

Great EDC. Sharp blade. Smooth easy one hand open and close. Couldn't have asked for more.
- FCFernando C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoAmazing Knife even more amazing customer service
I had originally gotten the medium sized blade and after trying it out for a week I had decided that I should have gone with the XL to better fit my hand.
Customer service made the switch incredibly easy. That alone was enough for me to be all in with the James Brand. I ended up pulling the trigger on a whole new EDC work setup after my experience with them.
