Maximum Utility, Multiple Colors.

The Palmer packs all the functionality of a classic utility knife in a refined design that sits comfortably in your hand and pocket, featuring a lanyard for easy deployment, and a variety of great colors in both aluminum and clear recycled PCTG handle options. Its patented mechanism allows for tool-free blade changes and buttery smooth action. Check out the latest addition to The Palmer Family: The Palmer Clear. Made from 100% post-consumer recycled PCTG, it is lighter, brighter, and just as durable as its aluminum counterpart. The Palmer Clear is available in five translucent colors that will instantly make you nostalgic for the days of the Game Boy and the iMac G3. Whichever option you choose, it’s clear that the Palmer bridges the gap between a traditional everyday carry, a lifestyle accessory, and a pure utilitarian tool.

Made for you. And you. And you...

One of the most versatile tools out there, the utility knife takes many forms and serves many jobs. The Palmer is our take on the classic utility knife, made for modern living. It’s designed for easy carry and a great in-hand feel. More of a tool than a traditional pocket knife, it’s that go-to blade that gets used daily for opening boxes, putting a point on a pencil or simply cutting into a hard-to-open bag of chips.

Made for everyone.

More of a tool than a traditional knife, the utility knife is a problem solver. Thanks in part to its replaceable blade, a utility knife gets used for stuff that your folding knife doesn't. It’s the blade you reach for to collapse a box, slice through plastic wrap or open stubborn packaging. The latest addition to the TJB family, The Palmer, is a modern take on the classic utility knife, designed for easy carry and deft use. Its slim form sits comfortably in your pocket and makes for a great in-hand feel. It’s compact. It’s colorful. There’s no reason to leave home without it.

Slim and easy to handle, The Palmer sets a new standard in utility knife convenience. An aluminum body keeps it light, a lanyard gives you carrying options, and a variety of colors keep it fun. It’s sized to sit discreetly in the coin pocket of your jeans with a shape and feel that rests comfortably in your hand. Smooth blade action puts it to use, and our patent-pending mechanism for tool-free blade release makes blade changes a snap. Update your EDC.

Dandy and handy - just be careful!

I love this updated take on a box knife. It could work as an urban EDC for maybe office use , around the house or maybe Saturday chores. The box knife blade is sharp and sturdy and easily handles cardboard and most challenges. I wouldn't plan on replacing it for more knife-tasks. I got the bright blue so it is less intimidating. I docked a star because while the finish feels great, it can feel a little slippery if you don't pinch it deliberately. The first time I used it, my fingers slid up and nearly caught the back of the blade.
