NEWS – I do not like to use a pocket knife to open packages because the sticky residue from packing tape gunks up the blades. For that fact I have dedicated box cutter upstairs, one in my office and another in the garage to break down boxes when it’s time to go to the recycle center. Yes, I get THAT many packages that I need 3 box cutters. But with a Utility Knife Multitool from Defiance Tools, you can replace multiple tools with this 6-in-1 EDC multi-tool.
The features include a box cutter with easily replaceable blades, a utility knife blade, a saw blade, and a jack knife blade.
The Defiance Tools multi-tool also includes a built-in bit driver with 2 screwdriver bits, and an LED light.
Head over to Amazon where you can order one for $24.99. Note that you’ll need another knife to open the box when you receive it 🙂

Julie, I find the Canary corrugated cardboard cutter a far superior and safer way to open and break down boxes. Makes quick work of the tape, much harder to damage the box contents, and then you can quicky break the box down. As a bonus, it is the preferred tool for making things with cardboard.

Daren, thanks for the tip!
sticky blades just need a spritz of wd40 and a wipe after a short wait
this multitool has possibilities
What is the difference between the box cutter and the utility knife blade, or are they one in the same and just used to up the tool count?
Phil, I asked myself the same question but left it in the list in case someone knew something to dispute it.
I prefer what the big warehouse shipping centers (or at least the one I worked in) use:

(Note they have a whole line of these.)
DStaal, I like the design of that safety cutter, but it appears to be a disposable tool which seems a waste. I like that the Defiance knife has replaceable blades.
They have a replaceable-blade version as well:

(Actually, they have a couple.)
Nice!
