Does Anyone Need A $475 Boxcutter?

[Alone]

When the “I want it” feeling comes over you, common sense leaves the building.

Amen.

 

[Docscoot]

Y’all are crazy, next thing you’ll be telling me my Halloween sebenzas don’t cut twice as well as my plain Jane ones. Whatever.

My first thought was "that's ridiculous," but my second thought was that most of my knives are collectibles that see no use whatsoever, and the ones that I do use... primarily open packages, so I already have a bunch of $250+ box cutters, and who's really being ridiculous.

 

[K.O.D.]

I have to admit, certain things I see, knives especially, I turn into Princess Vespa in Spaceballs.

If I buy another expensive box cutter it'll be an Emerson Lagriffe. That thing worked great for boxes, tape, mail, and pissing off TSA.

 

[abcdef]

I will buy all of these.

 

[000Robert]

I will buy all of these.

It must feel nice to able to say that. I could only dream about it...

*Looks at my CRK Inkosi that has cut a piece of string and opened a letter*


why must you shame me, OP?

 

[gazz98]

I won't consider buying it until a youtuber takes it into their backyard and tries to baton with it. THAT is the real test as we all know.

 

[SimplyMinded]

It's the coolest boxcutter I've ever seen and if it was around a more reasonable $150 I'd snap it up. At half a grand? Pass.

What I really want is a La Griffe made by someone who is not Fred Perrin or Ernie Emerson. Fred uses 12C27 and his knives always look... rough. Ernie is still fixated on his wrong-side chisel grind and running 154CM at RC57 and covering it in cheap powder coat.

I want a straight-edged, pointy, double-ground wharncliffe La Griffe with nicely chamfered edges and DLC coated in Magnacut at RC62.

The two Microtech's are my box cutters. The H&K is for fidgeting.

 

[gooeytek]

Yes. but not that one.

Yeah I bought mine 15 years ago for shop work and I'm pretty ambidextrous so the grind didn't bother me at all. Also it helped I'd never heard of either of them. Honestly I don't know if I'd feel the same about one again as I did back then but the memory is fond. Maybe I'll just leave it that way.

 

[Hashishiin]

My line of work demands it....

 

[A bennett]

I'm buying one if I can. Screw the haters.

yup... me too. terrible habit.

 

[The Zieg]

All my boxcutters are embossed "Opinel".

Zieg

God bless good marketing I suppose.
