Okay Oscar it arrived today, it was actually in the area yesterday morning.
The deejo knife from Bagnolet, France on the outskirts of Paris. I ordered it on 4/6/23 / 11:53 PM; it shipped on 4/7/23; was in FedEx Fort Worth distribution center on 4/9/23 and in my hands by 11:30 AM 4/10/23 or roughly 3.5 days. I don't remember the last time I had a shipment that good.
Anyway the knife is very light, 0.20 kg or 7.05 oz. It has a pocket clip that is very strong and does not let the knife settle down
deep enough in your pocket. It is titanium blade and frame with olive wood scale only on one side. The knife is a frame lock style and when the knife blade is opened it has the look and feel of being too large for the frame, just my perception. The small slender frame doesn't feel like I have a firm grip and I'm tempted to remove the pocket clip and put larger olive wood scales on both sides, then it might feel better in my hand. For $100 + shipping $14 I can't see how I got that much value in this knife. Those of you that enjoy this style of knife will be delighted with this one I would imagine.

Re: French deejo knives
David, I am not a fan of modern knives but, that one really catches my eye. I agree the frame looks a bit unwieldy for the blade but, it's just a great design.

The director of our school carries one. Small, discreet.
I've been to the Deejo website. Lots of customizing options.

Re: French deejo knives
I have a Deejo (no pic, I'll take one later and post). I kinda like them. The original versions were designed for hikers that are constantly trying to save weight in their gear...the hikers that are concerned about saving grams. Thus, the very minimalist handle is not very comfortable but sufficient in an emergency.
