What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I’ve carried the Elko for years—it’s small enough to forget about until you need it, and then it’s perfect for just about anything. The blade stays sharp, the pry bar is genius, and the build quality is what you’d expect from The James Brand: premium and precise." We rely on The James Brand Elko Knife for everyday readiness in the most streamlined form possible. Designed to be compact yet capable, it’s made for those who value thoughtful design and premium materials over excess. The razor-sharp Sandvik 12C27 stainless steel blade handles daily cutting tasks with ease, while the anodized aluminum handle provides a sturdy, lightweight grip that feels secure in hand. On the opposite end, the built-in pry bar doubles as a key ring, bottle opener, screwdriver, and light-duty lever—making it the ultimate pocket companion for both city days and backcountry escapes. Minimalist in size but big on function, the Elko proves that sometimes less really is more.
