When asked why we carry knives....

We ultimately almost always say.... "To break down cardboard"...

But be honest... It's mostly Amazon boxes that had knives shipped in them and other boxes, direct from other knife manufacturers.

BE HONEST!

Was the last "cardboard box you broke down" a box from a new knife???

Maybe it goes deeper than that.... Maybe it's a knifemaker / Amazon conspiracy....
 
Oh Canada!

I hear ya bro.

th


My last cardboard box was a beer box.
 
Don't know-I carry a knife in case I need a knife for something. Breaking down cardboard would be low on my use list as is cutting strips of paper. For breaking down cardboard I usually use a utility/razor blade, but I tend to save boxes for re-use.
 
I'm in the same boat, brother!

I use my Gerber EAB utility blade for ripping through cardboard....

But I get the sense that others are using their sprdercos, esses and Beckers for this task.
 
I don’t know why “breaking down cardboard” is such a popular activity.

I almost never cut through cardboard. When I need to break down a box I cut the tape and fold the box flat.

Does this have something to do with urban folk and tiny recycling bins?
 
You gotta go deeper down the rabbit hole. CanadaKnifeGuy is in on it. It's so simple.
What are Canadians known for saying? Eh, right?
"Eh" is sometimes spelled "Aye". Aye can also be pronounced "I" as in there is DEFINITELY a captain giving orders. Furthermore, who else says "Eh"? None other than the beloved 1970s TV character Arthur Fonzarelli. So what we are actually looking at is a Fonzie Ponzi scheme.
Who played The Fonz? Henry Winkler.
Henry Winkler is an anagram for "Rely Hewn Rink"

Obviously Canada, led by Henry Winkler, is relying on Amazon to sell us knives in order to cultivate funds to carve them a new hockey rink out of wood.

It's so simple, sheeple.

hahaha
That's about right.
Personally I use my knives for anything but that. I finally got tired of glue on my nice knives but I use my knives at work and at home for many other things.

Yep that's what I use for boxes at home and at work. I used to use something with more handle at work but rarely cut up boxes anymore at work so the light duty dude does it all.

I was using my HAP40 at work today and actually needing the super steel.
I am very happy with the HAP40. If I had been using say a Case or an SAK the blade would have dulled just from what I did today. As I was using the HAP40 the blade was unfazed and the edge is still biting into my thumb nail like a BIG O' DOG :thumbsup:
Then at work I was using my Grail that has VG-10 for lighter duty stuff so I didn't have to resharpen it this week end.

Yup. I have to cut boxes to size. If I fold them, there's a good chance one of whatever will get jammed when the recycling truck picks up on Fridays, blocking whatever us underneath. It's usually not an issue, as there's only a full can during Christmas and on each of my kid's birthdays.

Yesterday I used my Ozark Trail to cut a container
horizontally by the laundry machine.I was running
out of conditioner so I wanted to use every bit of it
before throwing it away. If it counts as a cardboard
box,somewhere around late January I ate the last
few slices of pizza after doing that I went to get my
gator and cut down the pizza box,discarded the
pieces neatly on a relatively small recyclables
trash bin of course I could have just folded up
the box to make it fit in but at the time I felt like
using one of my knives.:)

uhhhh , sir , I disagree.Opinels would come to a close second when it comes to cardboard box destruction.Why? you may ask ,well you see
with an Opinel you have the option to sharpen it at whatever angle you want and its wooden handle doesnt get so cold like those big ol'
Stanley classic 99's, the downsides are that their blades and handles
can be higher maintenance BUT to some the lowly Opinel is their
closest thing to a real life pocket light saber.:p
 
While I've never used it for cardboard, it's true that opinels thin stock and super easy to sharpen convex steels (carbon or Sandvik) do make them pretty damn close to a razor blade / utility blade.

What about a utility knife, that did most of its share of Amazon cardboard box cutting, made in Israel by Dustar (Cutjack, D2 chisel blade), owned by a goy:
