Summertime blues

"We are mosaics. Pieces of light, love, history, stars...
glued together with magic and dust and words"                                     -Anita Krazzan

This Blue Mosaic set features a sharp geometric pattern executed in cool blue hues. It’s such a strong design statement, you could use it as inspiration to collect a whole colour-themed picnic set.

Sustainability on the go

Ditching plastic cutlery doesn’t mean eating your salad with a clumsy bamboo spork. Saying no to disposable utensils becomes second nature when you carry around this nifty, French-designed three-piece set.

Highly pragmatic, universal, and super-sleek, it’s ready to use whenever you buy food on the go, have a picnic in your local botanic gardens, take your prepped lunch out of the work fridge, chow down at a food court or take out a snack on a bushwalk.

You can eat elegantly while playing your part in ending single-use cutlery, keeping plastic waste out of the environment, and taking hygiene into your own hands. Just choose a design to your taste.

Clever magnetic design

Each piece — spoon, four-prong fork and a knife with micro-serrated edge, in a cotton carry bag — is thoughtfully designed and engineered to be light and comfortable in the hand, while a clever system of magnets keeps the set safely together and prevents losing a precious component.

You are what you eat…and how you eat as well.

Add a dash of Art Deco with the geometric repeating fans of the 1922 design. You too can feel like a partygoer from The Great Gatsby, whether you’re feasting on lobster or fish and chips.

A Bolt from the blue

A reverse city map motif on a deep background in shades of blue makes the Downtown Blue set a timeless classic. These pieces look equally amazing set against green lawns, a classic checked picnic blanket, or even a white plastic table in a food court.

With its reverse city map motif on a blue background, the Downtown Azure recalls whitewashed villas on the shores of the Mediterranean or perhaps, that Venga Boys song from the 90s. Whichever, you can easily convince yourself that you’ve just picked up your picnic lunch ingredients from the local market, even if you’re actually dining al desko.

Where it's at

"Uptown is for people who have already done something...

Hop of your Vespa (helmet on of course). The Downtown Green set bridges urban cool and natural charm. Its reverse city map motif and deep green background offer the best of both worlds.

There’s no time like island time… You know, the state where clocks stand still and there isn’t as much as a ping on your phone to interrupt the back-to-nature serenity.

We can’t whisk you away to your own personal tropical paradise, sadly. Instead, we suggest carrying this DEEJO pocket knife with intricate motifs reminiscent of traditional Islander tattooing. It fosters a sense of rugged, castaway self-sufficiency, even if you’re just using it to open Fora parcels rather than build a shelter from scratch.

DEEJO refers to the beautifully wrought etchings on the surface of their blades as ‘tattoos’. This embellishment is just one step in a time-consuming process designed for enduring quality in design and execution.

Sharp but safe, this folding blade celebrates the artistry of the forge in its purest form, while its lightness in the hand and pocket or on a belt makes it easy to put it on a keychain and take it anywhere and everywhere. In fact, DEEJO founder Stephane Lebeau chooses the 15g as his own reliable pocket pal.

Materials: 420 stainless steel

Dimensions: 7cm (closed), 12.5cm (open), 6cm blade, 0.8cm thick

Forged from high-grade stainless steel by expert metalsmiths in China, each DEEJO knife is designed, tattooed and assembled in Deejo’s Paris workshop.  Find out more about the brand’s founders, their studio and the production process here.

“Trees are poems that the earth writes upon the sky…” Kahlil Gibran

Tree-huggers and nature lovers, listen closely. With a motif inspired by Yingarna, the earth mother figure in Arnhem Land's creation myth, this featherlight 15g pocket knife will inspire even the most avid urbanite to spend time surrounded by nature and plants. There, they’ll discover that creativity begins to unfurls only once we spend time being still.

Timeless in Tortoise

It’s BLACK to the future with the timeless look and enduring quality of this DEEJO pocket knife. For the less-is-more type, this understated colourway whispers quiet sophistication. The steel black blade sports a black titanium finish and the classic tortoiseshell finish on the handle is a cellulose acetate composite — no sea creatures were harmed in the making of this knife!

DEEJO's secure lock system makes it both sharp and safe, with a smooth opening and closing mechanism, while a belt clip gives you extra options for toting your pocketknife.

Materials: 420 stainless steel with titanium coating, cellulose acetate composition

Dimensions: 11cm (closed), 20.5 cm open, 9.5 cm blade, 0.9 cm thickness

Get that swing

It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing… This lightweight knife is the ideal addition to your personal kit, easily slipped into a pocket, backpack or handbag, or hung from a belt.

The motif may be Art Nouveau but the secure lock-liner system is a feat of 21st-century engineering on a small scale. As you open or close the blade, the secure liner-lock system allows for a safe, beautifully executed slidin’ and glidin’ action. So smooth and precise, it’s like Fred Astaire dancing with Lady Gaga.

This DEEJO handle is made from solid juniper wood, sourced from north-eastern France, and retains a lovely trace of the tree’s peppery natural fragrance. In finely honed steel, the blade is laser-etched with a ‘tattoo’ of organic vine shapes in a matt finish.

Materials: 420 stainless steel, juniper wood 

Dimensions: 9cm (open), 17cm (closed), 9cm blade, 0.9cm thickness

Pure at heart

It always pays to be prepared. Lightweight DEEJO pocket knife? Check. Stainless-steel blade? Check. Solid wood handle? Check. Secure locking system and handle belt clip? Check.

For purists, this handsome version has a matt-finish ‘naked’ blade (without the laser-etched tattooing) in stainless steel. The handle is made from solid, naturally fragrant juniper wood, which has a light, pleasantly peppery fragrance. Engineered into the design is a secure locking system for safety and a belt clip for convenience. In all, a personal must-have and a brilliantly thoughtful gift that will make anyone feel like a well-prepped scout.

Into the wild

Dr. Livingstone, I presume? Conjure up the African explorer in you with this lightweight, TIGER-tattooed, dark steel blade with TORTOISE handle. Whether you're using it to cut sandwiches, open parcels or deadhead roses, you can picture yourself hacking heroically through jungle undergrowth.

The lightweight stainless-steel blade works in concert with a secure locking system. Be assured that the classic tortoiseshell finish on the handle is a cellulose acetate composite used commonly in the sunglasses industry — no animals were harmed in the making of this knife!

This is a personal must-have and a brilliantly thoughtful gift that will make anyone feel like an adventurer. Slip one into a bag or pocket, or use the handy belt clip, and it’s ready to use anywhere, any time.

Serrated Symphony

Feeling the lure of the mountains or ocean? Itching to pitch a tent or cast that fishing reel? The friend you can always count on to come with you is this serrated-edge Topography knife.

If you've always dreamed of following Bear Grylls into the wild, then you need a knife that can do a bit more than slice through campfire sausages. Short of hacking through the Amazon, this knife with serrated teeth along half the length of the blade would come in mighty handy in a variety of outdoor situations.

Slip one into a bag or pocket, or use the belt clip, and it’s ready to use anywhere, any time. A secure locking system makes it safe and easy to open even with one hand.

Laser-etched contour lines on a black titanium finish elevate the stainless steel handle to something special. The handle is in coralwood (also known as paduak), an exceptionally robust and moisture-resistant timber.
A personal must-have and a brilliantly thoughtful gift that will make anyone feel like an adventurer.
