Ambidextrous Design

MagnaCut: An American-made supersteel

The Kline represents our first use of MagnaCut, a new EDC-specific powdered metallurgy steel designed to be ultra corrosion resistant and extremely durable. MagnaCut is the product of Larrin Thomas, a self-professed knife nerd and the guy who actually wrote the book on blade steel engineering. He's dedicated his career to the study of blade steels and their properties. Your blade is the heart of your knife, and the properties of blade steels vary widely. Larrin's mission was to create a new EDC steel that would tackle a classic issue: how do you get the corrosion resistance of a stainless steel with the toughness and durability of high carbon steels? MagnaCut was his answer, and we are proud to bring it to the TJB line for the first time with the Kline.

Dr. Larrin Thomas, the creator of magnacut blade knife steel.

The Best of Both Worlds.

"MagnaCut has the corrosion resistance of stainless steels, but with the performance characteristics of a traditional high-carbon steel."

- Larrin Thomas, MagnaCut creator and author of "Knife Engineering"

DESIGNED TO GET THE JOB DONE

Made in the USA.

We know that for a lot of people buying products made in the USA is important. It's important to us too, and we're making commitments to make more products here in the States. The Kline is our second USA-made knife, and there are more coming in the future. We are proud to produce the Kline domestically, and we'll continue to expand the products that we make close to home. Stay tuned for more USA-made products in 2023.

The TJB Workhorse.

We've listened to a lot of requests for a larger, more full-bodied knife that was designed to do tough jobs that might be outside the scope of a lighter-weight EDC folder. That's where the Kline came from. It's the knife you've been asking us to make: USA-made, MagnaCut blade steel, Micarta scales, an ambidextrous design and a larger form factor. This is a knife that we are really proud of and we know you're going to appreciate it as well. The Kline will be there for you when you need it most.

James Brand - Kline knife

Absolutely the BEST knife I have ever owned in 5 decades and 20 yrs in the Army. No joke. The attention to every single detail is noticeable and very much appreciated. All the raves posted in describing the Kline is spot-on. Exceptional smooth narrow body yet plenty traction for a full 4 finger grip that fills the palm. Jipping is perfectly done to lock your grip; on top of the blade it continues beyond the thumb ramp which truly provides 2 excellent grip positions, to slice and the push down. The thumb stud was made in heaven - big, high and bold. Great detent too. Love the blade shape and steel - my favorite and definitely is the most universal for every possible use in the real world. Worth every penny. I will never buy another brand again. And please never stop making the Kline…truly the perfect knife.

It's okay

I say it's okay, only okay because I've had this knife for a while and I feel it doesn't hold an edge or feel as nice in the hand as the Folsom.

Now, I had the Folsom, and lost track of it within 6 months of having it. I bought the Kline, I liked it, life went on, but I found my Folsom, and started carrying it and it just felt right. Sturdy, holds an edge, confidence inspiring.

No Nonsense Kline

Just received my new Kline with green Micarta. It’s a very sturdy, beefy knife, but without being overly heavy. I love the look of the deep drop point blade. Gives it the look of a fixed blade knife. Looking forward to using this one, probably gonna be my new field/camping knife. Thanks TJB for your consideration for Military and the discount offered with GovX. This is not my first James, and it definitely won’t be my last!
