A beautifully minimal back flipper built from top to bottom in the USA
The James Brand has always had a back flipper in its sights, but wouldn’t pull the trigger until every edge and alloy met their legendary standards. Enter the show-stopping design for The Wells in 2012. Named after the archeological projectile point found in Cherokee County, Texas, their debut back flipper was designed, machined, and built in the USA to embody versatility and durability in every detail. From the stainless steel ball bearings and American-made super-steel to the one-handed operation and epic fidget factor, The Wells transforms every flick into a statement of style and substance.
