The Carter

Good-looking EDC

My first James product, and overall, I like it. I have a modest but ever-growing pocketknife collection, including 5-6 higher-end knives ($250+, like Benchmade-level tools), and a handful of EDC knives at the Kershaw-level price point. For $160, this fits somewhere in the middle. Aesthetically, it's pretty dope. Classy, looks rugged but polished, very much how I think about the James brand in general. But function-wise, it leans a little mid (as the kids say). My son's $22 Walmart Kershaw was far sharper out of the box, and more fun to flip, than The Carter. But overall, it's nice looking and the flipping action improves with use. Happy with it being added to my collection and EDC rotation, and I look forward to trying out more James products down the road.

Lost in the mail

The first knife I ordered was stolen in transit. So I contacted your customer service not really expecting a very positive response however, to my surprise and delight you ordered a replacement knife and it was delivered ahead of time. That is what I call customer service. I look forward to using my Carter knife. And if I’m looking for any similar products I will definitely use your company.

Favorite blade

I had this one in the camo green colorway. Had it for years. Just this year I misplaced , have yet to find it. So I decided to buy another. This color way is nice. Knife is sharp, best IMO.
