Westcott Full Size Auto Retractable Ceramic Utility Box Cutter, Plastic, Green, 1-Count

I bought this box cutter because it looked cool. When I got it I was confused, the blade looked like a piece of plastic. But I tried it and found it worked almost as well as a new steel bladed box cutter. It was then I learned this was a ceramic blade. I don't know the ins and outs concerning ceramic vs. metal blades, I just know this blade also works. I haven't worn a blade out yet so I can't say if it lasts as long as metal blades. And I can't say how much of a hassle replacing blades would be vs. a metal blade (although changing a metal blade in many box cutters is a dark adventure indeed. I do know that through my aggressive issues with Fat Finger Syndrome, the ceramic blade is far less likely to bite me than the metal ones. I would buy again.

I use this knife at work to cut open bags and a lot of them! Sometimes 200 a day and it's IV bags so it gets wet repeatedly and it still performs really well! This is a really good knife! It doesn't rust and never lets me down on sharpness!! Definitely recommend!!

This box cutter is much easier %26 safer to use than standard metal box cutter with sharp metal blade. It retracts when pressure is off handle slide, so you don’t have to worry about getting accidentally cut if you drop it or pick it up wrong while metal blade is extended. Works great for opening sealed cardboard shipping boxes!

I got these little box cutters on sale, so a great value for me. I put one upstairs, downstairs, and in the garage. I use them for cutting up boxes for recycling and they do a very nice job. Sharp enough for me. And because I am not always super coordinated or even fairly coordinated, the fact that it retracts as soon as your hand breaks contact with the push button is a huge plus for me. I would not use another type of box cutter now.

I cut my hand using a scissor the other day opening a packaged. I saw this ceramic box cutter and gave it a try. It cuts pretty well and is safe on skin.

This is the best smallest thing you'll ever need to open your boxes. I bought this twice. The only drawback is the blade doesn't come out much, but that doesn't make it any inconvenient.

Handle feels comfortable, and holding the blade out while cutting and having it automatically retract is a good safety feature. When cutting a lot of boxes with arthritis holding the blade out can be a bit uncomfortable, but safety is more important. It is a ceramic blade, and I bought it because it is a good value, but I don't know if the blade is replaceable. Over all a great purchase.

Do all box cutters have self-retracting blades now? If this is the case then I would definitely buy this again. The box cutter is easy to spot with the bright green color but you have to hold the button to keep the blade extended. I find that inconvenient. It is made well and does the job but that button is a deal breaker for me. The blade is also not very long and that is a bit more challenging. The weight of it was a lighter than expected but felt solid and well made. The color made is easy to spot from a distance.

My only disappointment with this is that the blade doesn't lock in place (though that could be a really good safety feature if you drop it unexpectedly, since the blade retracts automatically and you won't chop off your toe or something). It works great, though! It's sharp enough for me to break down heavy cardboard boxes quickly. I would purchase this again if I happen to lose this one. It's also lightweight, fits easily into my pocket, and doesn't cost too much!

It Cuts well. I do not like the fact that it doesn't lock the blade so you don't have to hold the slide to keep the blade extended while you're using it. It makes it difficult to navigate. I'm on the fence if I would recommend this to anyone. The Item is extremely light in weight. It is very thin in overall size a lot smaller than I was expecting.
