It’s designed for easy carry and a great in-hand feel.

hard-to-open bag of chips.

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.

- SSethVerified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars6 days agoBetter than others, but still not perfect.
Been using it constantly for several months now, without losing** it! Good weight, slim, easy to carry, open & close, change blades.
For what I wanted this blade, I stopped thinking I would do well to sharpen it myself. I need very sharp, very often, without the hassle or threat to my clothing and fingers. Easy replacement was the best solution by far.
Two problems I have with it, are mostly part of the same: good grip.
The *exact* location I would naturally place my thumb to add a little extra pressure and guidance to my cut is the *exact* location for the blade release/retract button. I frequently find the blade jamming or slipping because I have nudged the button while cutting. The location range between extended setting and extract/change blade is rather small. If you hit it right, you're totally fine. Miss a little and it will feel extended & locked, but the blade will actually be free to come out. While it's still much. much safer than a traditional blade closing at the wrong time, it's still a bit disconcerting.
If the blade had grips or textured side , that might incline me to keep my thumb on those while cutting. I am thinking of simply scoring the sides to aid in that grip. But it will not look as good as it would had they built it that way.
**I chose translucent yellow, so it's bright enough to help avoid my major gripe with EDC knives: losing them. I have lost all previous EDC knives that I liked (expensive, cheap, high sentimental value, "perfect", etc.)…
- VTVinay T.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars1 month agoGreat design, materials, and build quality.
There are more practical pieces out there (e.g., longer blades to plunge into material), but nothing looks and feels like this one.
- RMRobert M.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoHidden Gem
Fantastic addition to any pocket. It’s so sleek that you can store it in chest pockets but I’ve been carrying it in coin pockets so I know where it is each time I reach for it. Blade replacement is a breeze and anyone who picks it up can use it. It’s great to leave around the workspace and the bright color ensures you don’t forget or lose track of it. I have a tendency to leave knives around so I carry this to leave out and reach for during more menial tasks. I have really enjoyed this addition I never knew I needed.

Bought this on a whim and I have no regrets. This has been one of the best purchases I’ve made.

First purchase from TJB and very pleased with the product. As the description states, it's an EDC problem solver. As I've found box cutters extremely useful around the home and vehicles, I have a fair number of them strewn throughout my spaces. The Palmer serves the same purpose, but is actually built to be compact, svelte, and personal. There are no rough edges, angles or protrusions on the exterior - it is indeed very 'palmable' and just begs to be on your person and not in a drawer. Excellent design!
