The tortoiseshell that adorns our Deejo knives comes from a composite material of cellulose acetate mainly used by the eyewear industry. For decades this synthetic material has replaced genuine tortoiseshell. Robust, luminous and available in as many shades as nature has species, it shows itself to be a material of choice to perfectly highlight the elegance of our knives.

Obtained through successive ‘polishings’ of the stainless steel of your Deejo knife, this glistening finish is a real invitation to contemplate the effects of light on the polished reliefs in steel of this magnificent piece of cutlery. Like an exquisite jewel, your Deejo shines with a thousand sparkles and inspires genuine admiration.

At Deejo we are convinced that the best knife in the world is the one you will use every day. For this we have imagined our light, ultralight, knives, without compromising on size or materials, that lets you take with you only the essential: the pleasure of a perfect cut.

Named by its weight, your Deejo knife weighs only 37g!

But that’s not all: easy to carry, to use, to adopt, Deejo goes beyond the knife by offering the possibility of a ‘tattoo’: tattooing your knife, as you would your skin, is to offer this already personal object a whole new dimension: its identity.

Deejo, This is the story of an object that is anything but accessory, which carries on its blade the spirit of its owner.

To slice meat, peel fruit or open a parcel, your Deejo knife cuts anywhere, anytime, and always with elegance.

Like any knife, your Deejo blade edge will wear with use. To maintain a perfect edge, it is advisable to sharpen the blade of your Deejo regularly. We use a Z40C13 stainless steel, hard enough to maintain a perfect edge over time and soft enough for you to re-sharpen your knife easily. Your Deejo knife can be sharpened using a whet stone, sharpening steel or sharpening set. Be careful not to damage the aesthetics of the blade during this operation.

SPECIFIC PRECAUTIONS FOR CLEANING: hand-wash your Deejo knife using a damp sponge, avoiding the abrasive side of the sponge. These Deejo knives are not dishwasher safe so risk irreparably damaging the knife’s articulating system.
