The Pike Knife
Your Grandfather's Knife. Redesigned From Scratch.
The Pike started with a simple brief: build a modern take on the classic in-pocket slip joint. Small enough to disappear in your pocket. Refined enough to pass down. The James Brand kept the warmth of rosewood scales and paired it with a Wharncliffe blade — a shape that maximizes cutting edge relative to overall length and gives the knife a clean, minimal profile that just looks right.
The Rosewood + Damasteel version is the premium expression of that idea. Damasteel Rose DS93X blade with a pattern unique to every single knife — no two are identical. Phosphor bronze washers for smooth, satisfying action. Lanyard included. The kind of object you buy once and keep forever.
Non-locking slip joint means it's TSA-compliant and legal in more places than a locking blade. Browse more in our everyday carry collection or check out all our men's accessories. Also pairs well with The Wayland if you're building out a James Brand slip joint collection.
