The James Brand has just released an updated version of its Palmer Utility Knife, now available in five vibrant “Clear” colorways, making it their most affordable knife yet at $39—$20 less than the original. These translucent hues, reminiscent of nostalgic gadgets like the Game Boy and iMac G3, are crafted from 100% post-consumer recycled PCTG. Despite the price drop, the Palmer Clear is just as durable as its aluminum predecessor, offering the same robust functionality in a lighter, more colorful package. The easy-to-use, tool-free blade swap mechanism remains, making it a reliable and convenient tool for everyday tasks like opening boxes or slicing through packaging. With its compact size, lighter weight, convenient lanyard loop, and use of easily-available utility blades, this playful yet functional update is perfect for everyday use, while remaining TSA-compliant for hassle-free travel by just popping out and leaving the blade at home.
