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.

    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.

    Saved the day in Maine’s 100 mile wilderness

    I’m in love with this EDC. On a recent 10-day backpacking trip in Maine, it saved the day when a buddy’s bear bag got snagged in a tree and wouldn’t fall down. No bear bag means no food!! After a few other ideas, we tried lashing my Ellis to a ten foot stick and used it to saw through the line, freeing the bag!

    Compact & Mighty

    I bought "The Ellis" for my fiance and he was so excited! He had been eying it for months! Although he has another "everyday" knife, I believe that knife is currently in a drawer somewhere and "The Ellis" has now taken its place. We are both very happy with our purchase.

    One more note, I thought I had ordered the wrong knife and reached out to TJB immediately. The staff was so patient and kind while they helped me out. I love TJB!
