EVERY DETAIL CONSIDERED

chapter sketch

Practical, not tactical.

The Chapter is the reason the James Brand exists; the knife that started it all. We wanted a pocketknife that fit our lifestyle, clean and modern yet dependably functional. The Chapter was a design exercise in restraint; we stripped all unnecessary parts away and focused on creating an iconic form and details. It was important for the Chapter to be a clean, minimal design whether open or closed, with a clip that became the hero both near and far.

Third one

I am embarrassed to say this is my third one. One of the problems with having it with you all the time is that it gets used a lot, and seem to get lost. I take the clip off and keep it in my pocket.
