When it comes to everyday carry pocket knives, unless you’re Crocodile Dundee, bigger is rarely better.
In fact, the ideal EDC knife is one that you can almost forget you’re carrying, whether that’s in your hip pocket or stowed away in your backpack. And The James Brand’s Ellis Slim Knife is taking this barely-there design style into new territory, with a razor-thin 8mm (.3 inch) thickness.
Aside from the slim design though, the Ellis is already one heck of a knife. Its multi-functional drop point blade comes in either straight or serrated versions, and its Sandvik 12C27 steel offers an excellent balance of sharpness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. That’s all wrapped up in durable but lightweight G10 scales, and topped off with a scraper and keyring attachment for added utility.
