DLC coating vs cardboard

I agree with using a box cutter rather than a decent knife. Cardboard can have some abrasive type material that would be prone to scratching your blade.
 
To correct some info: after Teflon, for many folders, Cold Steel switched to a nice THiCK layer of shiny DLC. Gradually became a little less thick, and now they offer DLC and a more Para 2-esque matte pvd finish on some of the same models. As far as I know.

Yes, I stand corrected. Some of the more expensive models now use DLC.

DLC preserves the finish of the blade, i.e. Rockstead put a mirror polish before applying the DLC and it stays glossy. I'm pretty sure the matte coating is a different treatment. Teflon is soft, it would strip the second it meets something hard like the contaminants in cardboard.
