You have a knife, but---

[ShaiHulud]

Im partially convinced I should buy a gerber at the hardware store for all future boxes.
Ah, who am I kidding, the tape will probably cut the gerber instead...

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. )

Real men use LAVA to clean their hands!

I like your style, Terry. I hope you won't need that puck after one box opening.

I haven't had LAVA (with pumice) in a while. Need to go out and get some.

I've used spoons, fingers and fork prongs to avoid knives, yesterday I used gingher scissors to free the ugly spyderco from the box

He could teach us all a thing or two about opening boxes...no doubt. We might not understand it, because, after all, he's an engineer, and wait just a second...wasn't he from California?

I think I addressed this earlier. Which begs the question, have Frank and Alan ever been seen in the same place at the same time?

Which bourbon should be paired with this thread? (It's definitely not single malt material.)

The only whiskey for opening boxes.

No funnin', there's a FRN handled Gerber lockback on a shelf in my living room that I've had for at least 25 years, and I'm pretty sure it has only ever been used to open packaging. Only sharpened once. Probly less than ten bucks of late '90's money. It's that kind of longevity that allowed me to justify totally obnoxious modifications to a brand new crucarta para3, so...

I have used a key a time or 2, when producing a knife mightve elicited the gasping and clutching of pearls of someone nearby. I also occasionally hulk my way into non-fragile contents. I don't like the taste of cardboard, though, so chewing is right out.

I don't usually drink when opening boxes; instead i get high on the toys inside. Mmmmm...new knife smell...
