Really small knife

This knife is a lot smaller than I thought it was. Manual opening action is mushy. Not the same quality of my other JB knife.

LOVE The Elko

This little knife is super sturdy and feels light and easy in the hand. The opening and closing spring snaps smoothly. The blade is strong and sharp.

Perfect Little Knife

I bought this knife to slip in my pocket and forget about until I need one, and it fits the bill. Razor sharp and plenty handy, highly recommended.
