    Excellent little knife

    Outstanding little bit of sharp for my pocket.

    The action is firm and safe. The blade needed a bit of loving to get it to acceptable sharpness. It disappears into the pocket, but ready for action when required.

    Cracking great little knife!

    I am a minimalist and engineer who values design and execution. The Elko knife checks all the boxes for me.

    Impeccably constructed and artfully designed, it also meets my "Buy best, cry once" criteria. Go ahead and put something really fine in your pocket.

    Arctic Tortoise + Stainless, hmmm, pretty to cut, pry, screw (with)

    Not my first Elko. I am not crazy about slip joint EDCs. I have some beautifies notwithstanding. This particular Elko is so nicely fabricated. The resin combination just called to me. The action when opening the blade is precise and the first detent that clicks into a stop is an excellent safety measure. And the sound that follows when extending the blade all the way is comforting as well. It sound is quite audible. Closing is the reverse with the same supports of steps to close/open. It arrived in pristine condition. And in the flesh is even prettier than online. I very much appreciate the strong hold when open as well as the stepped closure. I guess the having a pry-bar, screwdriver ring holder at the other end to attach it to my car keys along with a tiny flash light is kinda nice. Or at least just knowing one can use their Elko for those purposes in the pinch. I am getting delivery of a Blue/Black Acura and now I am tempted to add the Elko with Blue Tortoise + Stainless to my car keys. It's not that I'd be lost without one. More like knowing I'm carrying a little group of useful tools that take up so little space.

    Almost perfect key chain knife

    Nice size well made pocket knife. Unfortunately edges of cover already showing wear after several weeks attached to key ring and carried in pocket

    Hi Donald,

    Thank you for the feedback! We appreciate your review. Unfortunately with any/all coated metals, when carried with other things like keys, key chains, tools etc. The finish will wear overtime.
    If you are unsatisfied with your Elko we would be more than happy to exchange you with one of our G10 versions, that show less wear and tear.
