James Brand Sings the Folsom Pro-son Blues

James Brand recently turned back to their popular workhorse, the Folsom family, to expand the line with a new Folsom Pro variant. The Folsom Pro upgrades the materials and tweaks the construction to give this line expansion a premium feel.

The Folsom is one of the oldest designs in the James catalog – the second oldest in fact, only behind the Chapter (which James also eventually revamped) in the age department. It served as a sort of counterpoint to the Chapter: compared to that knife, it was less expensive, and thus more accessible, but with the goods where it counts. The rugged user found great favor with consumers and is one of the best-selling models in the James Brand lineup.

The scales on the Pro are much more chamfered than on the original

The Folsom Pro obviously resembles the original Folsom, but its specs are quite different. It has a larger blade, measuring 3.2 inches compared to the OG’s 2.75. Both knives are first and foremost EDCs, but extra cutting edge means that the Pro can tackle some stickier situations with more felicity than its little brother. Also worth noting is the blade steel on the Pro, which is LC200N. This stuff is best known for being one of the steels Spyderco chose for its Salt line knives, which means that the Folsom Pro’s rust resistance will be very high indeed.

Larger blade, larger handle: that makes sense, of course. But the Folsom Pro’s G-10 scales (available in either black or tidal blue) also have noticeably more chamfering than the regular Folsom scales. Lock is the same, the ever-reliable liner lock mechanism, but there’s another big change in terms of carry due to the presence of a sculpted titanium pocket clip in lieu of the stainless steel specimen on the standard model.

The Folsom Pro is available now, and isn’t the only new model out from James. Stay tuned.
