The James Brand’s ongoing series of high-quality multitools and pocket knives continues to impress, thanks to its exceptional functionality and consistently robust manufacturing. The James Brand Emerald Collection is no exception, presenting four of its versatile products, including a small folding knife, an in-pocket multi-tool carabiner, and everyday utility, each inspired by the tones of Cow Bay, Nova Scotia.
The James Brand Emerald Collection begins with the Elko, a minimalist compact folding knife featuring a sturdy and precise stainless steel blade and a pry bar that doubles as a variety of handy tools. It can be used for opening bottles, as a screwdriver, and as a key ring or pry tool. A titanium key ring allows the Elko to be easily threaded onto keys, packing an impressive degree of versatility into its small design.
Next up is the Palmer, which matches the Elko’s minimal and compact design and comes with a lanyard for quick access. The James Brand’s innovative blade switch system opens up its potential functionality. Use it as a box cutter, or switch to a more robust blade for slicing up carpets and other tasks.
The James Brand Emerald Collection also includes a uniquely designed carabiner, the Mehlville, with an integrated bottle opener made from durable machined aluminum and a titanium key ring for threading your keys. Lastly, the collection finishes with the Ellis, a tool with a collapsible knife and scissors, a flat-head screwdriver, a pry tool, and an All-Things scraper.
