As folding knives have evolved over the last few decades, the classic non-locking slip-joint has largely gotten lost in the shuffle. The James Brand, however, is here to right that wrong with The Pike, an heirloom-quality non-locking knife that marries timeless design with modern, high-end materials to deliver beautifully-crafted non-locking folder that can proudly be passed down to future generations. Weighing in at 2.2oz, The Pike features a 2.3” Wharncliffe straight blade with a nail-nick opening that’s made from top-shelf Sandvik 12C27 steel and is mated to 3.4” stainless steel handles with hand-crafted rosewood inlays. Measuring 5.7” when open, The Pike also sports phosphor bronze washers and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
