Beautifully made, well thought out.....I love it!

Every day, packages arrive. Mine. My wife's. Amazon. TJB (not often enough). EBay. Wine. Almost every one requires a blade to open, but why would I carry my big folder around the house, locked in as we effectively are right now? Now I have the Elko at all times. Beautifully made, almost flawless in its small, simple elegance. Black on black, mine, and warm from my pocket. Would I curve the blade root so it doesn't have an intermediate detent on opening? Hmmm. Not sure, but probably not, since when a design has a feeling of inevitability, I'm loathe to even think of tampering with it.

This knife is the right size for everyday use as a pocket knife. The style is classic and robust so it can take some abuse where others I have had did not. I don't need a fancy rubber cover when it won't stay connected to the knife. This one is much better.

Could use a little more lock power but ok for size

A lot of keyring knives have skimpy blades, that is NOT the case with The Elko. The amount of blade you get in such a small and sleek overall package still surprises me. The build quality and attention to detail is superb. On top of all this, this knife is lightweight and sits comfortably even in the busiest of pockets. It's an excellent choice for anyone wanting an aesthetically pleasing yet highly functional knife they can bring anywhere.
