Is a Christy Knife worth it - What is your preferred replacable blade boxcutter?

Said like Jay from Clerks when Randall kicks that woman outta the video store
"YEAAHHH!"

My Christy came today, (along with some rare 58's like the Pharmacy Knife and a Pepcid Rambler) and I am just right now too busy to take pictures but a quick update - as soon as I figured out how to use it... I find it really slick. Like, it appeals to me in a way that is similar to how more modern stuff does, the easy deployment for tiny cuts, easy retracement. It definitely has some "pride of use" factor to it, some coolness, along with the aforementioned slickness, which is exactly what I was after. I'm definitely glad I have this thing, and it is smaller than I thought, too! I think it will be seeing my fifth-pocket for a while.

I like that I can buy a pack of blades, but it also looks like a blade worth sharpening. Just great.


The Christy blade can be resharpened for years. Its more durable than you think. I'e got one that has been in steady use for almost 20 years, and its a little thinner, with maybe 1/8 of an inch of space between the edge and the frame, but it still cuts like the dickens. I could put a new blade in, but if it still cuts, why?

The Christy knife is NOT a disposable blade.
