A box cutter knife is a key tool in almost every warehouse. Also known as utility knives, these ultra-sharp blades easily cut cardboard, shrink wrap, cords, carpet and more. Workers prize them for their versatility, as well as for their ability to make small, precise cuts.

How does the slice box cutter work?

The Slice Auto-Retractable Box Cutter combines the blade with a spring-loaded mechanism that retracts the blade automatically when you let go of the slider button. Choosing the right box opener depends on the material you’re cutting.

Why are box cutters so sharp?

At one time, all blades were made of metal. But metal is a relatively soft material, so it dulls quickly. Manufacturers work around this by making the blades extra sharp in order to extend the life of the blade.
