01 / THE EVERYDAY CUT

Less job site.
More your life.

The delivery at the door. The stack of boxes that has been getting taller. A stubborn bit of packaging. The Palmer is a proper utility knife for the small jobs that keep showing up.

A clean aluminum body, a satisfying little silhouette, and a lanyard to keep it close. Useful doesn’t have to mean ugly.

A real tool. An easy everyday companion.

KEEP THE TOOL. REPLACE THE EDGE.

No sharpening ritual.
No special-blade hunt.

The Palmer takes standard utility blades. When one end gets dull, flip it. When both are done, replace it. The patented tool-free mechanism means no screwdriver required.

03 / THE POCKET TEST

A little less bulk.
A lot more use.

At 3.5 inches closed, the Palmer fits in a coin pocket. It’s the sort of thing you can keep on you instead of going to find it every time a box arrives.

BEFORE YOU MAKE THE CUT

The useful answers.

Does it use a special blade?

No. The Palmer uses standard utility blades available at hardware stores. Flip the double-ended blade to use the other edge, then replace it when both ends are worn.

Do I need a tool to change the blade?

No screwdriver required. The Palmer has a patented tool-free blade-change mechanism. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and handle the sharp edge with care.

Which color will I receive?

The color named in your selection and on the add-to-cart button. Changing colors updates every product photograph on this page, not just the first one.

What if my color is sold out?

We show that color and its sold-out status. Choose another color to see its current availability. We never silently substitute a different color.

AN ORDINARY JOB. A BETTER OBJECT.
