The James brand initially launched the first-generation Ellis in 2018 — first with a limited-edition carbon-ratio model, followed by a production version early the following year.After several years of successful market launch, TJB has now used customer feedback to offer a more functional version of the Ellis, which now features a set of collapsible scissors.
The new version of the Ellis retains its predecessor’s 3.5″ handle length and 2.6″ partially serrated Sandvik 12C27 steel drop-point blade with a straight-through nail notch, although the first-generation folding corkscrew has been abandoned, In its place is a foldable Swiss Army Knife-style pair of scissors.The bottom of the tool also features the original version of the “All-Things” scraper, flathead screwdriver, and pry tool combo item, although the bail that adorns the bottom end of the Ellis has been replaced with a carry-on deep-line pocket clip.
Weighing just 2.6 ounces, the latest TJB Ellis model packs incredible practicality in an ultra-compact and portable package, and packs a lot of features into its tiny size.And, like its predecessor, the new version of the Ellis is durable and engineered to last a lifetime in everyday carry-on use.Measuring 6.5 inches overall when open, this non-locking slip-joint multitool has been produced in three different versions to date: an all-black variant with a G-10 scale, an OD green G-10 version with a black tool and OD Micarta scale model with bare stainless steel tools.
James Brand’s new version of The Ellis multitool is priced at $119 and is now available on the brand’s website in the three variants mentioned above.
