This thread might cost me more money.

Another vote for the Gerber if you want to go small. I don't like how slippery it is, but a quick brush over with an engraver or traction tape will ad grip. I wonder if the old G10 handle version was any good?

How many box cutters use G10 scales? I really wish more EDC gear would come with G10. I don't care for the usual smooth aluminum scales on small multi-tools. It tends to be slippery and I don't like the way it wears.

Not technically a box cutter, but I use it as such. Cold Steel Tuff Lite. $28

I second the Tuff Lite. Excellent utility knife. The AUS8A on the tuff lite holds a decent edge.

Never been much for box cutters but I guess just any old thing from the whappaloo would do pretty good

I meant to post earlier that apparently the EAB was offered with G10 handles years ago.

I wish these types of knives were domestically produced. We're not asking our well established knife manufacturers to build expensive custom machined utility knives out of mini bricks of titanium.

Milwaukee makes some good ones. I'm rather partial to this Fastback model. It has a ruggedly-built wire clip on the other side.

This is another knife OP should look at. I recently picked up the Fastback Compact based off of your recommendation.

Yes it is larger than an EAB, but shorter than a Kershaw Link. It is tip down carry like most folding utility knives but that can be fixed...

...and another type of folding utility knife that should be domestically produced. Heck, make a thumb stud version too.
