Your Best Cardboard Cutting Knife

[coop1957]

Do you guys prefer a serrated edge or toothy plain edge?

I've been wanting to get a knife from the spyderco salt line. H-1 steel is attractive given its properties and that the fact that the cutting edge on the SE knives are "work-hardened" to the mid upper 60s makes me more inclined to buy one.

My only question is how does a spyder-edge cut on cardboard?

To answer your question - The spydie edge works great on cardboard.
I work as an Supply Manager at our local school district. That said I cut a lot of cardboard/plastic. I've tried several different types of steels. The ZDP189 Dragon Fly works really well. I could strop it daily and keep it in good condition. However I often had to cut plastic shrink wrap, tie wraps and plastic banding on pallets. I was concerned about chipping the edge on tie wraps. Also the Dragon Fly was just not large enough for comfort. What I found to be the best all around cutting tool for these types of tasks was a Salt 1 SE with H1 steel. The H1 steel seems to hold an edge very well and is easy to maintain. I like a serrated edge because I think it is much safer when opening the annoying blister plastic packaging that nearly everything comes in.
YMMV.

Best box-cutting knife I own is the Gerber E.A.B. Lite. I own four of them.

ETA: They also cut fingers extremely well!
