The Ellis Slim is built off the foundation of the Ellis and Elko family, The James Brand’s slip-joint pocket knives.
The design language of the Ellis Slim mirrors that of its bulkier older brother, but with one major tweak: TJB said “see ya” to the scissors, which significantly streamlined the knife.
