Experts Say

Let me say this right off the bat: The James Brand has another home‑run EDC tool on its hands… It’s beauty, it’s grace, it’s less than five ounces - Gear Patrol

Why It Made The List

Compact, practical, and quietly stylish, the Palmer is The James Brand’s modern rethink of the classic utility knife. Its slim aluminium body feels smooth and tactile in the hand, with just the right weight to make it satisfying to use. A standard replaceable blade slides out via a fluid, intuitive mechanism, locking firmly in multiple positions for precision whether you’re opening boxes, sharpening pencils, or trimming rope. Finished in all black and fitted with a lanyard for easy handling, it’s one of those rare tools that manages to be both ruggedly useful and undeniably good-looking.

MORE DETAIL

The Palmer is a compact utility knife designed as a safe and reliable tool for daily cutting tasks, from opening packages to handling small workshop jobs.

It is machined from anodised aluminium, giving it a lightweight but durable form with a surface that resists wear and holds its colour.

Closed, it measures 8.8 cm in length, 3.8 cm in height, and 0.9 cm in width, extending to 10.3 cm when open to provide enough reach for controlled, precise cutting.

It weighs 71 grams, a balance that makes it substantial in hand while still easy to carry in a pocket or bag.

A patent-pending mechanism allows for quick, tool-free blade changes, compatible with standard high-carbon steel utility blades that are easy to replace.

The stainless steel blade is fully retractable, ensuring safety when not in use and quick deployment when needed.

A built-in lanyard adds versatility, giving you extra carry options and keeping the tool accessible at all times.

Minimal in form and carefully machined, the Palmer is a refined everyday knife — simple, functional, and made to be used often.
