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.

MADE FOR ZACH

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.

Another Great EDC

I already own five James Brand knives - and they never disappoint! The Ellis I bought because of the scissors which are a great addition for me. I am an artist so the scissors on The Ellis are a practical companion for me. I now carry The Palmer, for boxes and other uses, and The Ellis is on my other pocket. This is a great EDC combination for me.

Fun tool

I got a color that only comes with a serrated edge. Wish the flat blade was available throughout. This knife was a splurge and sadly it was confiscated. Before getting another, I would like to see the pocket clip get a big upgrade. Flimsy and in the way when using the scrape tool. Blade and scissor combo makes perfect sense.
