Westcott Box Cutter Safety Ceramic Utility Knife (16475)

Another pleasant surprise. This has become my go to opener replacing a standard razor type opener. I really like that the blade doesn’t seem sharp, but yet it cuts cardboard and tape readily. I really like the fact that the ceramic blade seems dull to the touch on flesh. Amazingly it cuts well on a cardboard box with tape .it also works well. On plastic packages. It definitely has become a permanent fixture in my package opening inventory. there are two of these models and I definitely prefer the one with the blade lock.

If you have kids (or are a clumsy doofus) and order lots of crap, you need one of these. It opens boxes as well as any razor knife, but without damaging the contents, and it retracts automatically. The plastic blade isn't dangerous, even if your feral toddler gets ahold of it. I've been using one for years and have never cut myself with it....and I've been known to cut myself on the box. Best 3 bucks I've ever spent.

I love this safety knife that cuts extremely well and won't cut me!! I highly recommend it to anyone with a project, as I used it for hanging wallpaper and it did a fabulous job. UPDATE: The one negative to this knife is that you must manually push the button to keep the blade out. You cannot "lock" it into place so that it stays out as you are cutting. I still recommend due to the safety and great cutting, but that's become a pain point. It also very easily cuts your drywall when cutting wallpaper, so don't push too hard. It works almost too well!!

Works perfect for opening packages with very little risk of cutting yourself, same functionality as a regular box cutter with added safety,

It’s perfect to open all boxes I get delivered with ease. Easy to grasp and maneuver. 100% worth every penny for the quality and the lifespan.

Love this thing!stays sharp enough to cut tape for months on months!it’s plastic but it gets the job done at a small price and provides safe use

Very useful for opening boxesGood that it has a retractable blade so you dont need to worry about storing it in a drawer

Very nice cutter for packages but since you have to hold the blade out by pushing on the slider, it MUST be held one specific way and it can be awkward. Otherwise, it works well.
