gifts i love: the james brand

February 01, 2022 by all aflutter in Gifts For..., Brands I Love

MY HUSBAND somehow lost both his trusty knife AND multi-tool last summer. Ah, oops. They’re both tools that he uses ALL the time when we’re out adventuring, so I knew I had to replace them for his birthday and I knew I was going straight to The James Brand to upgrade his knife with something really special.

FOUNDED more than 10 years ago by a group of designers and adventurers in Portland who set out to improve ‘everyday carry’ for people like them (and my husband. And maybe someone you love), they make really stunning knives and other ‘essentials.’ Their attention to detail, premium materials and elevated minimalist style result in a collection that defines the balance of form and function, beautifully including everything you want and nothing you don’t. They have put so much thought into reinterpreting classic favorites with updated materials so that even your grandfather would recognize their impeccable traditional styling.

THEY’RE ALL so beautiful, I had trouble choosing just one, but my boys landed on The Folsom and it’s really gorgeous and super functional. The packaging is really well-done, too, so you can be ready to hand over your handsome gift with minimal effort. The Hell Gap is made for rugged outdoor chefs who need top-quality gear for every condition. They also have some super sleek mulit-purpose ‘Everyday Carry’ stuff that will elevate anyone’s daily routine. The James Brand is a really solid gift for anyone you love who likes to set out prepared with style, like my rad husband. xo
