The Modern Pocket Knife

The Duval is our first front-flipper, combining the best features of two classic knife silhouettes into a sleek and functional new form. Traditional gentlemen's knives require two hands to open and close, and they don't generally lock. With its front-flipper opening style and it's frame-lock design, you get the best of both worlds: the ease of opening and security of a traditional frame-lock knife, combined with slimness, symmetry and beauty of a classic gentlemen's pocket knife.

THE MODERN GENTLEMEN'S POCKET KNIFE

duval sketch

The Best in Materials and Design.

The Duval uses American-made Crucible s35vn stainless blade steel, and has a frame of 6al4v titanium. The modified sheepsfoot blade shape is as useful as it is beautiful. The main pivot uses ceramic ball bearings for an incredibly smooth action. Scale options include rosewood and OD green micarta.

With the Duval we took cues from mid-century design and combined them with the very best materials to create a modern-day gentlemen's pocket knife that has all of the features of a traditional frame-lock design.

beautiful but scary

I wouldn't exactly call myself a "knife guy", but I've had quite a few over the years and like collecting them. I was attracted to the Duval simply because it's classy and different. It's a beautiful knife and I'll love displaying it, as well as using it from time to time. Scary? The opening of it. Still not sure the best way with one hand. A video would be nice as I feel I must be gripping it wrong in order to deploy the blade with the front thingy.

A deal

I watched this knife for a while, snatched it up when the price dropped with a new model. I agree with other reviews that one hand opening is a little difficult, but otherwise I like the blade, heft, and grip of this knife. I have the green micarda.

Great Knife

I bought the titanium/ damasteel that I had been eyeing for a while now. Knife is not only razor sharp it is sharp looking. Add in the sleekness and lightweight, the duval is going to be a great EDC. It's a little stiff one- handed opening; However, I think that will ease as it is broken in. James Brand even sent a handwritten Thank you note, which was a nice simple gesture. Seems like a great company with solid products. I will definitely purchase from them again.
