Looks like cheapest ever according to the camels, RRP generally around $30, for some reason this is cheaper than the versions that don't come with the cap. Handy for, well, cutting cardboard. Not just hacking down the Amazon boxes, but also finer shape cutting.

Description from Amazon:

  • Easy to use cardboard saw with a cap for safe storage.
  • Convenient for crafts, packaging, opening, and decreasing
  • The special serrated blade creates a sharp edge that can not only cut cardboard but also PP bands and vinyl for packaging without slipping.
  • Double-edged, so you can use it with either one.
  • You can freely cut the curves.
  • Made of rust-resistant stainless steel cutlery
  • The brim handle prevents your hands from slipping, making it easy to grip and safe to work.
  • Increased cases introduced with safety measures such as foreign objects and ISO

      you can do more with a serrated blade. Probably not useful for around the home but if you got DIY projects going on, or you work in retail and you're always opening up boxes and other packaging it'll be handy to have a tool that can saw through things.

      The first two reviews I read suggest that yes, this is much better than a box cutter:

      "My initial impression of the knife was does this thing honestly work? It is so much better than a box cutter at cutting cardboard and makes much lighter work of it."

      "I read about this tool in a blog comment someplace and asked several hardware stores and office stores about it. They all showed me traditional one-sided razor blade box cutters. I hate doing big cardboard builds with those things, they get dull so fast, my hand gets blisters and my wrists are not very strong. Trust me, this fine tooth saw cutter is SO much easier!"

      This is a far more predictable and safe way to shape and cut cardboard.

      Can't say I've ever used a box cutter for shaping cardboard. Just breaking down cartons that are too thick to be done by hand

    • rumblytangara on 25/07/2023 - 15:33

      I've got several of these (slightly different brand, probably a bit 'better' as they have a PTFE coating) and they're a little better than a box cutter. It's overall worth owning one but not life changing.

      The serrated cutter is a bit better with maintaining control whilst cutting, so I guess it's a bit safer. You also avoid sharp edges in the cardboard afterwards.

    • Tim Mc on 01/08/2023 - 12:07

      The yellow one with the non-stick coating is so much better for sawing through foam.

      The orange one with a shiny surface arrived today. It seems a little bit sharper so it might be better for cutting through tape or padded packaging. But there is much more friction and it requires more effort when sawing through foam.

      I currently use a utility knife to cut boxes and was tempted by the idea of a cutting blade designed specifically for the job. Read the reviews and was skeptical of the longevity of these cutters - how long with they last, even if they do cut cardboard like butter?

      A fresh blade in my utility knife works fine and they're cheap to replace.

    These are good for cutting into the cardboard in a controlled way, not particularly for slicing the sealing tape or straps.
    Use cases like cutting a carton diagonally to make a display, or at home, cutting into a box to make a kid a castle to play with or a space helmet. Or slicing into a box to resize it to fit a parcel better.

      Excellent idea.

    • chumpychops on 25/07/2023 - 20:51

      I’ve often thought with prime, many people get multiple deliveries. Much of the packaging remains immaculate. When a drive does a drop off , Amazon have the driver ask if picking up packaging and provided he doesn’t wait more than 10-15 seconds, he can get going again and Amazon can reuse.

      • Yola on 26/07/2023 - 07:50

        I have Prime and have had at least a dozen deliveries since Prime Day. Not once has a driver given me this option, in fact, most of the time they do not even ring the doorbell. Not even when it's clear someone is home as the front door is open and only the screen door closed.

    I have the yellow handle version, I think it's the same? Anyway it's actually fantastic. Eats through cardboard really well but can't cut you. I don't use it frequently but for $9 I'm happy it's in my tool box.

  • scratchy on 26/07/2023 - 11:02

  • Tim Mc on 27/07/2023 - 19:13

    The yellow one with the black serrated blade arrived today. It takes much more force when sawing or dragging it through expanded foam (EPE).

    A box cutter is much easier. DeWalt Carbide blades slide through expanded foam so easily.

    I had hoped that the serrated blade would be easier to cut through thicker foam. But it's easier to do two slices with a box cutter.

    Used them today for the fortnightly recycling box destruction session. Absolute joy to use. It’s not sharp like scissors or box cutters so less risk of cutting myself. But goes through cardboard and tape joints just as easily. Sharp flat tip makes it easy to find a spot to cut into.
