Deejo Pocket Knife
[Partner] French knife manufacturer Deejo does things a little differently when it comes to its knives. Choose the handle material, weight, finish, and text you want displayed on the handle. Then, and this is obviously the coolest part, select one of 75 different tattoo designs to have displayed on the blade of your new knife. The tattoos are pretty sweet too, with options like an old-school pin-up girl, a watch movement, wilderness scenes, animals, and more. Put that all together and odds are you’ll never run into another person with your exact knife.
