Perfect Pocket Sized Knife

Solid design, slim profile and high quality blade. Easy to place this knife in any small pocket for daily carry and use. Blade is long enough to even handle larger tasks in sections.

Great little knife and Great Customer Service!

I've had an Elko on my keychain for a couple of years. Its just the right size to be a useful cutter and not attract unwanted attention. Its a great little EDC knife, but the customer service was Wow! My pivot screw worked loose and went missing, so I contacted TJB for a replacement screw, and they sent me a brand new knife within days! They went above and beyond IMO. Thanks!
