Our Thinnest Full Length Knife

Thinner than a pack of gum, The Ellis Slim is the newest member of the Ellis and Elko family of slip-joint pocket knives. It maintains the same overall design language as our traditional Ellis, but we’ve ditched the scissors in an effort to make the slimmest and simplest Ellis possible. The Ellis Slim is available in both straight-bladed and serrated versions, and comes with either G10 or aluminum scales (handles). It features the same Swedish Sandvik 12C27 steel that we feature on the standard Ellis and Elko, and comes with a deep-carry wire clip as well as our All-Things® scraper, flat-head screwdriver and pry bar. If you're looking for truly minimal daily carry look no further than the Ellis Slim.

Good knife, could easily be a Great knife

I really like my Ellis Slim, so much so that I’ve carried it every day since I got it. It’s light, sturdy, and simple. The blade easily sharpens and strops to a razor edge. The only thing that bugs me is how much it costs, when the marketplace is practically flooded at that price point with much better steels. 12C27 is an ok steel at the $50 level, but a $100 knife should have something like S35VN or even M390 these days. While 12C27 takes a nice edge, it won’t hold it anywhere near as long as better steels that are available from many competitors at this price and often for even less. Please, James Brand, upgrade this fine EDC knife to a more competitive steel.

Really nice knife. But...

Super slim. I was unaware that it does not lock when opened. Probably would not have purchased had I known that. Otherwise really nice slim edc. Just wish it had a locking feature.

The James Brand

Hi Christopher,
Apologies for your experience here. We state the Ellis slim is a non-locking blade in both the product description, and the product details on the website.
If you reach out to customer service we would be happy to offer you a return!
