The James Brand, known for its exceptional craftsmanship and innovation in the world of knives, has launched a limited-edition masterpiece, the Barnes LTD: Heron + Stainless. This knife, with only 24 units available, is a collector’s dream, featuring sustainable materials and cutting-edge design.
Collaborating with Smile Plastics, a sustainable materials firm, The James Brand has reimagined the classic Barnes LTD knife with upcycled inlays sourced from discarded refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, and countertops. This unique approach not only adds an eco-friendly twist but also gives the knife a distinctive and visually striking appearance.
The James Brand Barnes: Heron + Stainless boasts a titanium frame lock construction machined from a solid billet of 6AL4V titanium, providing strength and durability. Its 3.5-inch Bohler M390 steel blade ensures sharpness and reliability in various cutting tasks. The handle inlays showcase feathery gray tones, warm ochre flecks, yellow hues, and black and blizzard white accents, all finished with a rich, polished semi-gloss.
Priced at $749, this luxurious knife is targeted at collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate exceptional craftsmanship and unique materials. It’s a rare addition to The James Brand’s lineup, known for pushing the boundaries of design and innovation.
Sustainability is at the forefront of this release, reflecting The James Brand’s commitment to responsible business practices. The James Brand Barnes LTD: Heron + Stainless arrives in a lacquered wooden box, accompanied by a TJB challenge coin, paracord lanyard, and cleaning cloth.
This limited-edition knife is not just a collector’s item; it’s a testament to The James Brand’s dedication to creating finely crafted, environmentally conscious products that stand out in the world of EDC knives.
