With the Carter you get both brawn and beauty.
Featuring a slide-lock mechanism, a corrosion-resistant VG-10 stainless steel blade, fully-profiled G10, Micarta or carbon fiber scales and a deep-carry, reversible pocket clip, the Carter is the most advanced knife we’ve ever made. It's slim and lightweight, but fully capable in any environment. It's also fully ambidextrous, and the pocket clip can easily be removed. The thumb disc design means that the Carter is easy to use with one hand, so it's at the ready in all situations. The Carter is going to immediately earn its spot in your EDC rotation.

Form and Function.
The Carter features slide-lock technology, a first for us here at TJB. The slide-lock is secure, easy to understand and ambidextrous. It’s designed for use with one hand, and has been a staple mechanism of everyday carry knives for a long time.

Designed & Made Better
The VG-10 stainless steel blade has great edge-retention and corrosion resistance. VG-10 was designed to handle the abuse of the culinary world, but because of its amazing characteristics, it’s found a home in the world of everyday carry. The Carter is available with G10 scales or in natural Micarta; both are fully sculpted and feel amazing in hand. The opening style uses a symmetrical thumb-disc on top of the blade, making for easy, affirmative one-handed opening. The deep-carry pocket clip is our deepest ever. It’s easily reversible (using a Torx T6, not included).
The Carter is available in regular and XL sizes, so it will fit hands and jobs of all sizes. If you are looking for something that is discreet and rides easily in any pocket all day, stick with the standard Carter. If you've got bigger hands, and need a full-size knife for hardcore work day in and day out, the Carter XL is for you.

- LRLindsay R.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsYesterdayI sleep with this masterpiece!!!!
This knife is nothing short of exquisite. Fits perfectly in my hand. The right amount of balance. Every time I pull it out of my pocket for use and possibly a little admiration (both, I think), I'm guaranteed the task will get finished & heads will turn. I am beyond satisfied.
- AAmerVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 days agoWhat a classy pocket knife.
I’ve written a review of the Folsom which is my daily pocket knife. Now the Carter.
Very attractive knife. I got it in the Damascus/black Micarta. Very well made knife. Centered blade, smooth action. And yes it is not a loud click when you open. It’s more like … muffled? Dimmed? I don’t know the word. But it’s not bad. Just a little more classy I guess.
This would definitely be my night knife.
- GCGary C.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoExcellent, I absolutely love my new knife!
I really like my new knife! I’m an avid knife collector and have lots of knives from all around the world. I’ve been collecting since I was about 15 years old and while I was in the army I traveled all over the world and picked up knives from every place that I was. But, I have to say this is one of the best made knives that I own now! I really love the way it opens and closes. It’s very smooth. I have to give it a “5”. Proudly!!!
- PDPATRICK D.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars4 months agoLove this knife.
Recently received James brand The Carter serrated. Iove this knife from the sleek design to functionality. Perfect size for an EDC, scales have a beautiful finish and have not scuffed at all and the action on the blade is super crisp. Would highly recommend.
