The James Brand has always been driven by a simple yet powerful mission: to create the knife they wanted to carry. When the knife they desired didn’t exist, they set out to make it themselves. This journey began with The Chapter, their very first knife that not only put them on the map but also made people take notice. Ten years have passed since the launch of the original Chapter, and The James Brand has evolved in countless ways. Now, they bring this evolution full circle with the release of The Chapter 2, a refined iteration that showcases the knowledge and wisdom they’ve gained over the past decade.
The Chapter 2 Knife from The James Brand ($319) is designed for those who appreciate both form and function. It features a tip-up carry orientation and a fully-machined titanium pocket clip, ensuring it is always ready for action. The knife boasts a stainless steel s35vn blade that runs on sealed ceramic bearings, providing a smooth and reliable performance every time. While the new Chapter features more sophisticated lines, it retains the iconic form that made the original so beloved. It’s a knife that embodies the spirit of The James Brand: modern, minimal, and meticulously crafted.
When The James Brand first created The Chapter, they had a vision of the perfect everyday carry knife. They wanted a simple, iconic pocket knife that was both beautiful and functional without feeling overly done or intimidating. This vision remains unchanged a decade later. The Chapter was the product that started it all, and it continues to be a staple of the brand. The new Chapter 2 brings subtle yet significant improvements, such as the all-new fully machined titanium pocket clip and a more refined curvature in the scales, making it an even better tool for everyday use.
The reasons behind the creation of The Chapter are the same reasons The James Brand continues to make it today. They wanted a knife that felt good in the hand, looked stunning, and performed exceptionally well. The Chapter 2 is a testament to their commitment to these values, combining modern aesthetics with the best materials and technology available.
The James Brand thanks its community for its trust and support over the past decade. The Chapter 2 is not just an evolution of a knife; it’s a symbol of the brand’s journey and growth. As they look forward to the next ten years and beyond, The James Brand remains dedicated to creating products that blend beauty and functionality seamlessly. Here’s to the next chapter, and to the shared adventures that lie ahead.
