“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.

Deejo refers to the beautifully wrought laser etchings on the surface of its 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 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: 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.

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

Pruning Poetry

"Under a cherry tree, all burdens of life fly away! "

Cherry blossoms and juniper wood… Sounds more like the start of a haiku poem than the features of a pocket knife, but then, Deejo's 27g Cherry Blossom blade is as much a thing of beauty as it is practicality.

Imagine whipping this out to prune your indoor plants, or to take a cutting from a friend’s prize plant specimen. (With their permission, of course!)

Sourced from north-eastern France, the juniper wood of the handle is naturally fragrant, giving off a light, peppery scent. Laser-etched blossoms ‘tattooed’ on the blade make a soft contrast to the ruggedness of its construction and purpose.

Safety, too, is a prime consideration for DEEJO founders Luc Foin and Stephane Lebeau. The liner-lock system allows for a smooth & safe gliding action every time you open or close your knife over the years.

Out of Left Field

Let's face it, left-handers get a raw deal most of the time. Yet many of history’s most creative minds have been southpaws, from Leonard Da Vinci to David Bowie. Luckily, the DEEJO range now comes out of left field to even the score.

Mirror Mirror 

The latest handle design in the DEEJO range. The ultra-light stainless steel pocket knife in the sleek mirror finish is adorned with a tortoiseshell handle plate.

Sturdy and luminous, this material comes in the many nuances that nature counts as species. The Tortoise finish is a sustainable material of choice to emphasize the elegance of DEEJO knives.
