Le James by Lierande. An ingenious mid-back lock with an American patent. Everything about it is smooth. It’s nice and thin and sharp. Opens and closes with zero play. Sandvik 14C28N steel

Cool knife 8) The lock mechanism reminds me of a Klecker NIRK by CRKT. I wonder if there’s any connection ::hmm::

I see a relationship but the Lierande must be different enough to earn a patent

Hey :o If it's the same knife in both pictures, your Lierande Le James appears to have changed from purple to maroon :shock:

It is, and for a lighter version check out Lierande’s website. The only way to keep different shots consistent or more accurately to show their true color is to use a color checker when taking the exposure.
Edit: I didn’t notice the difference until you just pointed it out. The first one was taken in shaded outdoor light and the second in overcast natural light indoors. The first is more accurate.

Yes, easy to pinch open
I personally like when there is no nail nick, cleaner aesthetically and in the general sense
