A daily workhorse, reimagined. The James Brand Ellis Black with Stainless Black Blade.
This model features black micarta scales with satin stainless Sandvik 12C27 blade, in a choice of plain or serrated edge.
James Brand have redesigned the Ellis from the ground up, based on feedback from their customers. First off, they added their 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. They have also updated the construction of the Ellis into a slip-joint design to make it easier to use.
The Ellis also features a new deep-carry wire clip as well as the “All-Things” scraper, flat-head screwdriver and pry tool. The Ellis is built around a partially-serrated Swedish Sandvik 12C27 stainless-steel blade and, in this version, features a green micarta handle.
It will immediately become your daily multi-tool of choice.

This is a well built UK legal folder. Like its little brother 'The Elko', the fit and finish are superb, the back-spring is quite strong, and it also has a solid half-stop. It's minimal in design and it's unoffensive, which I like! It is roughly twice the size of the smaller Elko, and this particular variation boasts additional scissors that work really well. They have also added a pocket clip. But whilst some will appreciate this feature, it is in fact my only gripe. I'm right-handed, and it just gets in the way! I've looked at the build of the knife, and It's not reversible. It's just stuck there! Perfect for a lefty, but I'm left thinking whether or not to just saw it off, it's that annoying! I would've awarded this knife a full 5 stars, if it wasn't for the pocket clip. As it is, I've been generous in giving it 3 stars - but I reckon if I did crudely saw the pocket clip off of mine, it would then actually be worth more!
Overall I really like the quality & build, albeit a bit over priced but that's the brand for you. The scissors are very good & comparable to the victorinox but not better. Blade came sharp but sometimes their edge finishing is inconsistent, however I'm happy with my purchase.
