Your keys just got a new best friend.

The Elko has been a staple in our lineup since the beginning. This all-new second-generation version has been redesigned from the ground up, with machined aluminum handles, a compact stainless steel blade, and a pry bar that doubles as a key ring, bottle opener, and screwdriver. Small enough to live on your keys full-time, but capable enough for real work.

Designed for keychain carry.

When we first launched The Elko, it challenged the idea that a keychain knife had to feel like a compromise. It became a defining product in the TJB story, and we’re excited to introduce the next chapter. The new Elko is a sleeker, more refined everyday tool with improved grip. It’s razor-sharp right out of the box and more capable than ever—purpose-built for the daily rigors of modern life. Delivering real cutting performance in a remarkably compact footprint, it’s a true knife scaled for your keyring.

EVERY DETAIL CONSIDERED

Maximum utility in our most minimal package.

When it comes to designing tools that are used day in and day out, we firmly believe that less is more. The Elko embodies this idea with its compact form, multi-functional utility, and time-tested materials. With a sizable Sandvik 12C27 stainless-steel blade and the integrated All Things® scraper, pry tool, screwdriver and bottle opener you’ll have exactly what you need, and nothing you don’t.
