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.

Recycled PCTG

Available in 5 colors

Anodized Aluminum

Available in 7 colors

Made for everyone.

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 break down a box, slice through plastic wrap or open stubborn packaging. 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. Both aluminum and recycled PCTG handle options keep it lightweight, 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 patented mechanism for tool-free blade release makes blade changes a snap. Update your EDC.

Awesome tool.

I will refer to this as a tool since that is what it is. Simply amazing. Good thing this came out later than after all the knives I have bought over the years. Forget sharpening, just reload with a new utility blade. Love it!

A great utility knife from a great American-made brand. I recommend the aluminum ones as the plastic one that I bought cracked when I dropped it, but James’ top tier customer service happily sent me an aluminum replacement. Thank you to Lauren from customer service. I will be buying from James again.

Most Used EDC

I get packages and pay LPs and CDs almost every day so the Palmer gets a workout. It does what it’s designed for… nothing more and nothing less. I haven’t changed the blade yet. Hopefully, it will be easy.
