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.

    Decent EDC

    Nice fit and finish. Great packaging.

    The clip should be changeable or James should have a right and left handed version.

    Too many manipulations of the knife needed to access the blade's nail nick. It should come out of the pocket ready to be held in the right hand and opened by the left.

    That annoyance makes it a four when it could have been an easy 5.

    Good size

    It’s bigger than I expected with the blade out. I do like the serration but…. I wish there was a blade lock somehow - also I need to reconfigure for left handed use. Clip is in my way and the blade is on wrong side for a left handed person. It for sure is a two handed use knife . I have used the built in “screwdriver” as a bottle opener - not the best use since that part has a taper

    Better than SAK scissors

    There, I said it, it's out there now. After many many years of being a SAK user and swearing the Victorinox scissors. I was blown away by these on the Ellis. Absolutely incredible, and paired with the awesome slipjoint blade, a win win in the eyes of a UK EDC enthusiast like myself

    Great EDC knife with scissors

    Great little tool and the perfect size/weight for EDC. First off the construction/materials seem to be top notch and this tool just looks really nice!! The slip joint function of the blade and scissors are nice and firm. Love the G10 scales and the scissors cut amazingly. The pocket clip is nice and low profile but the finish has scratched already with very light use. The biggest drawback to me seems that the clip should be on the opposite side. As a right hand carry, when I pull the knife out - with my finger on the clip and thumb on the inside scale - I have to flip the knife over in my hand so my thumb is on the clip to be able to open the blade. If the clip was on the other side I could just pull the knife out and open the blade. Maybe the scales/clip can be swapped? Overall a very nice EDC tool, lower the price a bit, make in the USA and swap the clip to the other side and it'd be a solid 5 and probably my all time favorite knife for EDC.

    Best EDC around

    I love the new Ellis. The scissors come in clutch when i knife cant fit or you need the delicate touch. The everything scraper i never knew i needed but seem to keep finding new ways to use it. Will definitely be keeping this in the pocket no matter where i go.
