missing

it's a very nice knife but there is something missing and that would be a clip to hang it in your fifth pocket of your jeans unfortunately it does not and we have to contend with hanging from your keychain.

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.
