James Brand Knives -- What's the Deal?

Published: 1 week ago

The James Brand sometimes gets disparaged in the knife community as being overpriced, or being something only hipsters would like. I've never owned any James Brand knives before, but couldn't resist their semi-annual "Sunset Sale." I picked up this Redstone for $29 (normally $99), a Duval for $129 (usually $299), and a Wayland with sycamore wood scales for $89 (normally $219). I'm reasonably happy with what I got for what I paid. Would you be?
