Finding a daily carry folder that bridges the gap between sleek modern aesthetics and brutal, heavy-duty durability is no small feat.

Fortunately, the gear aficionados at The James Brand (TJB) have spent years perfecting this exact balance. Expanding their impressive universe of everyday carry essentials, they have introduced a larger, rugged folder built for times when duty calls for serious cutting power.

Meet The James Brand Kline Knife, a USA-made workhorse engineered to tackle the toughest jobs on your agenda.

Retailing for $399, this full-sized folder is a heavy-hitting statement piece crafted without a single compromise.

MagnaCut Super-Steel & Arrowhead Origins

Named after the historical Kline arrowhead discovered in Pennsylvania’s Delaware River Valley, the Kline carries a distinct sense of heritage.

It stands proudly as TJB’s second fully American-made knife—proudly designed, machined, and assembled right in the USA.

But the real headliner sits right between the scales: this marks The James Brand’s very first time utilizing CPM-MagnaCut blade steel.

* Blade Steel: CPM-MagnaCut (63 HRC, Drop Point, Flat Grind)
* Dimensions: 3.4" Blade Length | 7.9" Overall Length
* Total Weight: 4.0 oz (Full stainless steel liner construction)
* Lock Mechanism: TJB Slide-Lock with Phosphor Bronze washers

Engineered by metallurgist Larrin Thomas, MagnaCut is a groundbreaking USA-made powdered metallurgy super-steel.

Historically, knife makers were forced to compromise between high-carbon toughness and stainless corrosion resistance.

MagnaCut solves that age-old dilemma, delivering absurd durability, edge retention, and rust resistance all in one package.

Hardened to a formidable 63 HRC, the 3.4-inch drop-point blade features a versatile flat grind that glides through heavy cutting tasks with absolute ease.

Overbuilt Ergonomics & Ambidextrous Hardware

The Kline is designed from the ground up for hard labor and comfortable, long-term hand use.

Measuring 7.9 inches overall and weighing in at a reassuring 4.0 ounces, its larger form factor feels substantial in the palm without weighing down your pocket.

“From its Pennsylvania arrowhead namesake to its groundbreaking MagnaCut heart, the Kline proves that TJB can build a heavy-hitting, domestic workhorse without losing an ounce of their signature design polish.”

Framed by full stainless steel liners, the knife features textured Micarta handle scales that offer exceptional grip even when wet or muddy.

TJB also prioritized total ambidextrous usability: dual thumb studs allow effortless left- or right-handed deployment on silky-smooth phosphor bronze washers, while the proprietary TJB Slide-Lock mechanism secures the blade firmly during high-pressure work.

Built for the Long Haul

Rounding out this impressive EDC package is a removable and reversible deep-carry pocket clip machined from premium 6AL4V titanium, paired with black oxide stainless steel hardware for a stealthy, understated aesthetic.
