You have a knife, but---

[oldmanwilly]

They were for your wife, right?

They were this time. I normally wouldn't use a 7-inch bowie to open packages, but in this case I needed to feel manly while handling delicates.

SAK for general tasks like opening boxes or anything that will damage my "good" knife.

I just tear them open with my bare hands .

Forget Gerber…

I have the answer.

Oh, Coleman, you can't drop the mic that easily, my friend. But, you do get an "A" for effort.

I almost posted “mike drop” but thought it was too cocky of me. At least I made one good decision. Hahaha!

I can attest to the fact that you've made several good decisions...if my opinion counts.

Even though I bought her several knives, my wife uses the flying elbow to open her boxes.

 

[ShaiHulud]

I feel like the glass breaker on the ends of many knives would see a lot more taped boxes than actual car windows

Even though I bought her several knives, my wife uses the flying elbow to open her boxes.

So she gets up on the kitchen counter and flies off the corner onto a box with reckless and deadly abandon? Yeah, I wouldn't argue with her at that point.

She doesn't do the full jump, but yes, she seriously elbows those suckers open!

*Edited to add - She also says 'Hi-YA' while doing it!

That box on the floor is looking up hopeless

My knife is so scary sharp those packages open themselves up when I whip out my knife. Just one look and they give it up !

I don’t have to whip it out. I just turn so they can see the David Mary special on my belt. Next thing I know they’re broken down in the recycle bin. Gotta check with David now to see what he’s got that will have them walking themselves down to the curb every week.

I have a couple of DMs inbound, that fella is a forum treasure!

I'm just a man who wears his heart on his sleeve and his steel on his hip (and around his neck and in his pocket, and in his other pocket and in his other other pocket)

Knife point barely touches the tape, and no residue gets on it, but that one tiny puncture breaks the surface tension and it opens by hand easily from there, in most cases. Not the fireproof fiber reinfcored tape. I hate that stuff.

I cut the ends of the tape, and just a tap on the long side on one end, rest pops open.
Normally dont get any gunk on my knives from opening boxes, but ive been opening boxes for decades at work and home, learned a thing or two.
Also, my knives are very sharp and im decent and sharpening the tips of the blades. I love cutting things with barely any pressure on the blade.

If you had a joker knife shoe you can kick-cut your boxes open

Don't call me Kickpuncher. Call me David.
