Crafting a workhorse.
With the Folsom we focused on designing a knife that would be at home from the city to the backcountry. Fluid arcs and simple forms give ample gripping power while the extra-slim profile won’t bulk up your pocket like other liner-locks. A triangular thumb hole and reversible clip also allow for left or right-handed configuration.

- JHJames H.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoYou'll want to use it everyday
Another James Brand knife added to the collection. The Folsom knife is a great and well-built knife. Right out of the packaging, it's extremely sharp and smooth action. I'm a sucker for great packaging, design, and quality and The James Brand delivers on all 3 fronts. This knife is going to get a lot of daily use.
- WRWilliam R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoGreat Knife
The knife was sharp right out of the box. I used it a few times to see how it would hold an edge, and it performed well. As an automotive technician I use a knife for many different purposes; from stripping wire, cutting carpet to removing old water hose. Therefore I need a dependable knife and one that will hold an edge. The Folsom is now my new EDC. I also like it because it’s light weight and thin. So far I’m impressed!
- MBMatthew B.Verified BuyerRated 2 out of 5 stars1 month agoGood Knife but looked worn/used
I think that the knife itself is high quality and the blade is amazing. However, it arrived and the handle looked as though it had been worn/used. Definitely not as clean as I would have expected. I also reached out to the customer service team multiple times to see if there was anyway to exchange the silver clip with a black one (before the product shipped) and have yet to hear anything.
The James Brand EU & UK1 month agoHi Matthew!
Thanks for reaching out, apologies for the delay in response here, you should have received an automated reply as our team was out of office this week. I can assure you you will receive an email from our CS team shortly. - TFTim F.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoGreat, basic knife.
This is an awesome knife that carries well. The Folsom has a thin profile that makes it virtually disappear in my pocket, and it came razor sharp out of the box. Additionally, the Damascus steel adds a bit of unexpected character.
The only part of this knife that could use improvement is the clip. It seems to stick out a bit far and the edges are a bit sharp. Outside of that, this model is pretty nice. Definitely worth the purchase price.
- DDDavid D.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoFantastic knife
Saw this knife years ago, when I first got interested in collecting. The white / black contrast is phenomenal 😍, knife size fits perfectly in my hand. The deeeep pocket clip and thin profile makes it extremely comfortable to carry! I am impressed by the quality of the knife, and how quickly it arrived after ordering!
