- Simple, minimalist design
- Corrosion-resistant stainless steel blade
- Secure liner lock
- Prep food, cut cordage, feather sticks
- Ultralight – just 0.49 oz (13.9 g) Naked
The simple design of a Deejo is about as minimalist as a folding knife can be. Elegant, unobtrusive, yet robust – ideal for backpacking or EDC. Perfectly at home cutting salami, cheese, and fruit as it is cutting cordage or opening packages. Tough enough for camp chores and feathering sticks, but don’t try to baton your kindling.
The drop point blade is made from Z40C13 stainless steel (54-56 HRC) for a good balance of edge retention and corrosion resistance. A unique liner lock design keeps the blade securely locked when open. Clicks in place and simply push “Press” to release.
The 15 g Naked has a stainless steel minimalist handle (Art Deco version adds a black finish). No extra plastic or wood, yet it fits comfortably in the hand. It’s small and thin, making a great pocket knife. The blade is flat ground on the side by the handle and hollow ground on the side away from the handle. The edge has a chisel grind. This asymmetric approach is designed to keep the blade from catching on things in your pocket. There’s a lanyard hole on the end of the handle, but no pocket/belt clip to keep the weight at a minimum.
The 27 g Juniper is a little larger knife with beautiful fine-grained juniper wood on the handle to capture the blade when folded and guard the edge. The blade is symmetric with a hollow grind on both sides and a plain edge with a common flat grind. A stainless steel pocket/belt clip keeps it secure, but there’s no lanyard hole. While you might be tempted to remove the pocket clip to save weight, it’s not advised because it helps stabilize the pivot.

Perfect for backpacking!
Gets the job done. Small, ultra-light weight and a decently long blade. No need for anything else while backpacking.
