In this video, we take a look at the elevated box cutter option being produced by The James Brand, the original Palmer, and the newer Palmer Clear. Made from either aluminum or polycarbonate, these elevated box cutters bring vibrant colors, an elevated in-hand feel, and a bit of fun to a typically disposable and annoying product.
At some point or another, you've probably used a box cutter in your life. Sharp, easily disposable and a small amount of pressure away from causing some major damage to your hands. And even with these downsides, we continue to use them in warehouses, detail shops and craft stores across America. Last year, The James Brand delivered a box cutter for the people and a protector for all those fingers out there. It was called the Palmer.

The Palmer packs all the functionality of the classic utility knife/ box cutter in a refined design that sits comfortably in your hand and pocket. The patent-pending (their first!) mechanism enables tool-free blade changes and a buttery smooth action. Featuring anodized aluminum handles, a lanyard for easy deployment and multiple colors, the Palmer bridges the gap between traditional everyday carry, lifestyle accessory and pure utilitarian object.
