It’s actually $60. thejamesbrand.com
I know it's late, but the reason it doesn't come out far is so you can use it for more things. For instance, I use it for carving into multiple different kinds of sculptures (artist - different 3d print materials, wood, wax) if you watch their video, the best example is the surf board artist shows you a prime example of the purpose. For comparison, I got one of those utility knifes off Amazon with the automatic feature because I thought it would be cool to have that one along with a Microtech auto knife in my EDC & all that, matchy matchy, but I found because the razor came out so far & the blade changing mechanism has you push back on the blade to release, if I tried to carve in a shading fashion it would have so much bend & flimsy movement on the blade that it didn't work. So, based on the design & video of The Palmer, I think it's meant to be a more full capable utility knife, like you can do more with it. That being said, the only thing I've encountered where I wanted to use it but didn't impress is in my day job as a mechanic I went to cut a couple feet of cooling hose off a reel & the blade not coming out further made it a little annoying. But otherwise, I think The Palmer is great, when cutting packages open it's nice it doesn't go in deeper & damage anything inside when I let my gf use it for that etc.
I can confirm that for me their customer service was awesome. Thanks for the video.
Good to know
i always lose my box openers. this one is solid. sleek and easy to use
Kinda wish the blade did come out a little more.
The James Brand always FRUSTRATES me because of the kind of money they charge for their knives! These blades are cool, but too high in price IMO!
Its $60. I think thats fair
Same
Yeah I don’t get this. Needs to come out further…deal breaker for new
I'm intrigued thx Kev
I need that utility knife for work!!
Both look good! Great video 👍
I enjoyed this one. Great looking slippy
Actually scored one of these for 30% off on Gallantry since I had a discount code that was unused. Honestly? For about $45 shipped, I felt like it was at least solid, price-wise. At the very least, it was a better value than the CIVIVI Mandate, which was a 9Cr, resharpenable-in-theory-utility knife that cost $90+. Ironically, the Wayland is the one and only other knife I bought (albeit second hand) from TJB that I felt was legitimately worth it. The action is unusual on mine. It's not mushy, but it almost feels hydraulic. Had it checked by Rob over at TheApostleP (whom I bought it from) and it's not defective, either, so I think that's how they intended it to feel. As far as TJB's OEMs, I think they're QSP, Sanrenmu (the Folsom is DEFINITELY Sanrenmu, as is the Ellis) and Bestech.
Thanks Kevin.
This is the coolest looking utility holder I ve seen . 👍
Right?
$60 for a utility knife is a bit steep for me.
The Palmer? Isn't that what they used to call you in high school Lefty?
🤣
Thank you for the title , I really thought you started reviewing gadgets or something lol 😂
I like how excited you got hahaha
Yea its sweet
The hawk knives version of a utility knife is insane did you see that one?
Handled it at Blade west. Cool idea but didn’t really do it for me. Especially left handed and at $500
yeah, really could have blade storage, there's plenty of space in that size body.
The more I see James Brand knives the more I like them!👊❤️🔥🥷
I still think their stuff if overpriced but the duval is reate made and pretty sweet:) nice knife too!
Duval is Reate? No way. I got one and it had pretty bad QC issues. And wasn’t shrink wrapped. Idk if i believe it. U mean the Barnes?
Walmart got the hart ones for 8$ two of them same thing with lifetime warranty
It has the quick release blades and everything?
They boxed up a $2 box of blades for what $10. You can buy the same little package of blades at Lowes. Just seems like spending lots of money for nothing
They shipped them right to me all fancy like though so it felt special
Interesting one
Cool
Are penny loafers and an argyle sweater required to be worn while carrying this?
Working on my man bun too
Never handled a James Brand knife
Who’s driver is that when you tried to take the Palmer apart?
Its my driver, u saw me use it right? 🤣 jk. Its the Get GoodSkrew Skrewpreme driver. Lefty10 saves 10% www.getgoodskrew.com
@@LeftyEDC 😂😂😂 sounds like something I’d say…. I stumbled into your channel because of the Palmer. I dug around after and found the driver video. You do good stuff, I’ll be sticking around. 👊
@@edc_driving_me_knucks awesome thank you!
Good thing it’s so easy to change the razor blades considering it only lets you use like 15% of the edge… 🤦♂️
All the utility knives ive seen like this have the same amount of blade. I think it’s because of the notches in the blade
Take a look at the razor gen 2 by surge panchenko, 150gbp but it uses almost all the blade and is a slipjoint so it's equally award for Letts and is dirty right handers
I wonder if they offer discounts to peopled named James 🤔
Only James’ who have served
@@LeftyEDC I’ve served on a Grand Jury if that counts
This guy said he paid $10 for extra blades??? Does no one else see the absurdity of paying 10x the cost of something because it 'looks cool'??? Jesus christ....
Lol it was just an add on
I thought you had to be a hipster too but from “thu James brand”? 😅
Same here. Or am I?
You can get a good Irwin that does the exact same thing and actually fits your hand for less than $20. Just don't see $100 for a utility knife. Much less that little bitty one for nearly the same thing
Its $60. I was wrong. But yea its edc gear and a knife. If u just want the knife, why are watching my channel? 🤣. I don’t mean that like you shouldn’t watch. Im saying u could make that $20 Irwin argument for every single thing I show on the channel right?
So it’s a box cutter 😂
Yes
Gotta disagree on this one. Nowhere near enough blade sticking out and the blade edge not being flush with the body reduces usability even further, more overpriced nonsense from The James Brand. 😒 The slip joint isn't quite as bad.
I dont think u can call $60 overpriced for this. The rest is subjective, i see ur point
Is this a joke?
Nope. These 2 are great haha. I was surprised as well
Just. No.
Come on!
@@LeftyEDC I like the ease of blade change but the blade looks silly in that huge handle. They should make a giant blade to fill it out better.
@@beck4218 or u could be happy with what you get! 🤣. Jk. I agree more blade would be nice but ive used it a bit and love it. Key thing is its east for non knife ppl. Thats the market here
@@LeftyEDC never! Prefer the RUT.
