Does Anyone Need A $475 Boxcutter?

[mrknife]

ive opened boxes in the hospital with a pen instead of my knife cause i dont want to clean sticky stuff off, im ok.

 

[K.O.D.]

My S125V razor blade wasn't sharp enough. Guess I'm going to have to go Stellite 6k.

I'll have to add this one to my box cutter collection. But only after I first add a new nail clipper to my nail clipper collection.

Hawk Knives (G&G Hawk) just announced that it will be producing the "Shortcut" which is bascially a $475 boxcutter.

It is a very well designed $475 boxcutter but my $1 box cutters and $5/$8 utility knives will do me just fine. Thank-you.

I've been waiting for them to start making the MUDD again and now they're doing this? Frankly, I'm really disappointed.

But, if they're charging $1-2k for a Deadlock and $475 for this, I guess I'm not going to be able to afford (or want to pay for) a MUDD if they actually do start making them again.

This makes me regret trading away my MUDD for a BRS Alpha Beast all over again.

Oh well . . .

To answer your question,  Need ? ...Hell No

I can't speak for "anyone " else's needs ...but for $475 , there's lots of other stuff more appealing to me personally .

Sheesh...
This is as Fancy as it gets around here...
I think
spacebar and backspace not working

Dude I put one of those through 3 years of construction work. It did the job nothing more. Then I upgraded to the utilizer 2.0. Love it, but has a few quirks. Now I'm eyeing the shortcut. Oh gosh!

Its a nice design. The flipper, lock release, and the pocket clip are cool. I know the machining work to make it is probably high, but its past my budget.

Seriously. I would love to see them partner with someone for a less expensive production version.

I didn’t need these $200 box cutters but I bought them anyway and don’t regret it. They see more use than most of my other blades. My financial situation has changed so discretionary funds are at a minimum. If I had more available I’d consider getting one.

I like the G&G Hawk stuff I’ve got. I’ll have to be happy with it.

Does that nail clipper come in a PM steel?

Does anyone have a $475 box that needs cutting?

Does anyone have a $475 box that needs cutting?

Yes!

... it's got a knife in it.

 

[Slice O Life]

I was thinking about this knife again. All it needs is a bottle opener, pry bar and flat head screw driver on the back of it. Then, it will be perfect.

 

[GT99]

For some reason I really like it, not $400 like it but it's pretty neat, would be fun to play with, but for a box cutter I'm just fine with my Milwaukee button lock lol

 

[K.O.D.]

For $475 she better do more than open boxes!

 

[Riz!]

Honestly, I think its actually pretty cool.

Would I buy one for 475???? No way

D2. I like to punish my nails.

Ah, I can see it now. Your nail clippers are serrated and have the Punisher skull on it.

I still find it funny that this came up as a question of "need" on a knife forum. I mean, even the OP has a collection of several hundred knives so I think we are far beyond need.

I also see this lock making its way to different knives in the future. This is probably just a great marketing stunt to get people talking and to fund future designs.

Quick update, they released about an hour and a half ago… site had issues as is typical for a G&G Hawk drop, and they also sold out within minutes, also typical of their drops.

Yes, I ordered one…
