Our daily workhorse, reimagined.

We've redesigned the Ellis from the ground up, based on feedback from you, our customers. First off, we've added our very first scissors, which makes the Ellis supremely versatile. If you can't cut it with the Ellis's knife blade, you can almost assuredly cut it with scissors. We have also updated the construction of the Ellis into a slip-joint design to make it easier to use. The new Ellis also features a new deep-carry wire clip as well as our All-Things scraper, flat-head screwdriver and pry tool. The Ellis is built around a partially-serrated Swedish Sandvik 12C27 stainless-steel blade and is available in three different scale options. It will immediately become your daily multi-tool of choice.

EXPANDING THE UTILITY FAMILY

Minimal Form, Maximum Utility.

Born from the same lineage as the Elko, The Ellis was designed to be the in-pocket, multi-function knife that you’ll be reaching for multiple times a day. We asked ourselves “What things do you really need from a knife like this?”. We made sure that the Ellis had all of those functions, and then we ditched the rest. With a partially serrated blade, scissors, pry bar, and bent wire clip you won’t know how you ever got along without it.

My new EDC

After many years of carrying a Victorinex Executive model as my EDC, I now am carrying The Ellis model. I love the ruggedness of the entire knife ( especially the scissors). The size is perfect especially if wearing jeans. If I wear dress pants, I drop back to the Swiss Army. The only thing I miss on my new knife is the toothpick and the tweezers ( very handy).

Very well built. Happy with the quality.

Thanks

The Ellis is Great!

I love the knife! I like having the scissors along with the blade. The scissors and the entire knife is excellent quality. I got the all black one for Christmas and I thought I lost it three weeks ago, so I order another one. The first one was all black and the new one I got is black with stainless steel. I like both of them but my favorite is the black/stainless one.

9/10 Purchase

This knife is super solid, i will say that i use my knives to their fullest extent whilst working and camping etc. And i have found that the James Brand in general is very durable. The handle material is i’d say a 7/10 however the rest of the knife is 10/10, blade is super sharp out of the box and the action on it and the scissors is great. I highly recommend if you are looking for a durable, yet stylish and sleek knife.
