You have a knife, but---

[ShaiHulud]

Just for fun, you have a knife, but you still decide to use a key on your ring to open boxes
Y/N?

 

[Blues]

Never use a key. Punch 'em and break that tape like a man.

Knives must remain pristine to impress the ladies.

 

[Railsplitter]

Honestly, I don’t want tape residue on my keys any more than I want it on my knife but it seems easier to clean off of a knife blade than a key.

 

[Richard338]

Just use a Gerber.

 

[SharpBits]

I use a Sebenza so that I can keep my Gerbers clean.

 

[bax229]

Any knife under $200 is fine for an EDC, expensive knives are unnecessary

 

[onekerf]

Use a gas station knife, and clean the blade with gas at a gas station.

 

[not2sharp]

Why not just chew through the box? It’s just cardboard.

You guys are really making dad proud today.

I'm cancelling the short bus.

 

[scorpnsnake]

Normally not a problem for me. I did however get some next level glue on one the other day that took six alcohol pads and a good twenty minutes of cleaning to get off. Won't detour me though.

 

[GB940Rookie]

Knarfeng turned me on to one of these.

 

[Blues]

I have tools on my key chain but I don't want to dirty them. So I punch those boxes like a man. (Clean the residue off your knuckles with Gojo or 20 Mule Team Borax.)

(Never follow the advice of engineers. Especially ones living in California. )

Now you're talkin'

I may have to consider making this thread a sticky so future ne'er-do-wells will have a clue what they're getting themselves into.

I was gonna use the Smatchet, but it was just over $200.00 and luckily after reading the forum earlier and being skooled on knafs I now also know my high end keys (over $2.00 a piece ... what was I thinking!!!) weren't the best choice either so I ran out to the pawnshop and traded my old unworthy Sebenza for a plastic handled Gerber and thankfully I can open my packages this afternoon.

The guy at the pawnshop gave me a 10 minute warranty or one use whichever came first.

 

[Mk-211]

Noobes!

 

[Alberta Ed]

SAK can opener works great. And if it gunks up, no problem.

 

[guy g]

Boxes are a perfect job for a SAK most of us carry... but 98% of the time I grab something else.

 

[Blues]

Anybody who don't buy his knafs at the Chevron, is not fit to live in 'Murica!!! You been warned. And everyone knows they come in blister paks.
