Second Elko

Just got my second Elko after misplacing my first one a couple years ago. I don’t know why I waited so long because I missed the first one about once a week. Perfect knife for pocket carry - sharp, solid and so very useful. JB seems to have updated their game. The packaging was just as impressive as the product and the inclusion of a nice key ring topped it off. I also own a Folsom that’s still as enjoyable as the first day I used it.
