Why It Made The List

All-new and redesigned from the ground up, this is The James Brand’s streamlined take on a UK-friendly carry knife, and it looks awesome; slim, clean, pared back and properly considered for the pocket. They’ve removed the scissors and switched to a new low-profile machined pocket clip, keeping everything flatter and more refined for everyday use. You get a 2.6” Sandvik 12C27 drop-point blade with a non-locking slip joint, opened via a machined nail slot, plus the All-Things scraper that doubles as a pry bar and flat-head screwdriver. The handle is 6061 aluminium with a keyring attachment hole, so it sits happily as either a pocket knife or a keys-first EDC. An instant classic and the best EDC penknife out there today.

MORE DETAIL

This all-new pocket knife is redesigned from scratch for maximum in-pocket functionality, with a slimmer, more pocket-friendly shape that improves grip.

It’s described as thinner than a pack of gum, and as the brand’s thinnest full-sized knife.

The update is deliberately simplified; the scissors are removed to keep the build as slim and minimal as possible.

The blade is Swedish Sandvik 12C27 steel, paired with a non-locking slip joint mechanism and a 6.6cm blade length.

It comes with a new low-profile machined clip for cleaner carry.

Extra utility comes from the All-Things scraper, which doubles as a flat-head screwdriver and pry bar.

There’s also a key ring attachment option, using the All-Things pry and scraper to connect it to your keys if you want that setup.
