Consider yourself lucky to have the choice. My workplace requires us to use a company provided utility knife. No rules against carrying our own knives (yet) we just can't use them.

For cutting tape and boxes at work I have a Meyerco assisted box cutter equipped with a Benchmark ceramic blade. Just don't the sense of using my AFCK for that kind of stuff when the ceramic blade lasts for months at a crack and never seems to dull.
No need brother - use whatever you own however you please and dont look to others for approval as to whether that use is ok. Om shanti, shantiGuys... Let me try to defend myself...
Guys... Let me try to defend myself - I use that thing from everything from prying those safeties off of lighters to stabbing beer cans and twisting (opposite the mouthpiece for a better pour).. all I was saying is, "do I really want to totally take some edge off of my super sharp knife, or should I just use a box cuter?" I chose the box cutter. After reading all of the responses I do actually think I'll cut that box next time. But don't think I'm afraid to use my knife - I LOVE using my knife!
You're right. Telling some one how to use their knives is about as silly as some one asking how they should use their knives.It certainly is wonderful to read all this feedback from those who are willing to tell others how they should use their possessions. I'd say most of the replies are from the "if you don't use your knives, you got no reason to live" crowd. I, on the other hand, say use your knives or don't use them precisely the way you want to. They're your knives. You paid for them. Do with them as you please. And pay absolutely no attention to those who would tell you to do otherwise.
I really hate cutting a bunch of taped up boxes, getting all that adhesive junk on my blade!
Just one more reason to have a holster with a can of WD-40 in it at ALL times.
He asks " What would you guys do in this situation?"
