The Elko

A minimalist pocket knife, redesigned for everyday carry

An innovative take on the classic penknife, The Elko is a minimalist and utilitarian tool that comes in handy far more often than you might first expect. This new version builds on everything that made the original a cult piece of everyday carry the same capable stainless steel blade, the same pry bar that moonlights as a bottle opener, screwdriver and key ring but with a refined handle that’s softer in profile and grippier in the hand, an updated blade shape and cleaner hardware throughout. Available in four colourways each with its own combination of handle, blade and hardware finish so you can pick the one that suits how you carry. Less is still very much more, and despite its compact size, this is a blade that earns its place on your keys and its reputation through daily use.
