DC-130F

This is awesome for opening boxes, but you probably want the kind with a longer blade if you intend to cut much cardboard. The short blade is best suited for tape and plastic. Also, the nonstick coating actually works. When adhesive gets on the blade, it wipes off easily.

After being totally fed up with getting cuts and the awkwardness of using an open scissors or an actual knife to open the literally dozens of Amazon (and other) packages we get each month, I found this - and SO glad I did! We got the pink (shorter, serrated edge, with the non-stick coating). Literally a game-changer for SO many packages and plastic-sealed products we are always opening.The "blade" is serrated, but while it cleanly and easily slices through all plastics and all cardboard boxes (even pretty thick ones) with ease, it does not cut the user, simply because you brush against the cutting edges. Even if you gently rub it across your skin, it's rough, and maybe leaves a white scrape mark, but no cutting whatsoever. Shocking given just how easily it slices though heavy-duty cardboard. Simply a brilliant product!As far as the "protective sheath," it's more of a small, flimsy shaped plastic that slips over the blade, and part of the handle. I wouldn't rely on it for anything, really (it's about the consistency of a thin plastic sandwich bag, not hard plastic). At first, I thought we'd regret not having gotten one with an actual hard protective sheath, but given that the serrated edges do no harm on their own, without applying a decent amount of pressure (but not too much, it's still easy to cut boxes/seals easily), it doesn't really need it for just sitting in a drawer, waiting for it's next use.nPersonally, I like this size, because of the leverage it offers - longer blades have greater chance of hitting something you don't intend (like if something delicate is packed towards the cutting edge of the packaging box), but this can only go so far inside, and even so, is unlikely to demage anything but the most delicate (or cardboard/paper-based) item inside the box, even if it did hit it.It's lightweight, is well-balanced in the hand, and easy to grab regardless of whether you're right- or left-handed (it's serrated on both sides). I've found it's much easier to pull towards you (which we always hated using scissors!), rather than pushing away... just seems to have much greater leverage.Really a great product - just ordered a 2nd one to have one upstairs and down.

Lost a similar tool that I had for 30 years. This is an excellent replacement even better than what I had before. Hopw it lasts as long.

Hands down best box opener ever! Easy to use. Safer than a traditional box cutter.

Open small cardboard box lid without ripping.

This is a package opener for cardboard boxes. It works fine on most tapes.I have not tried it on fiberglass tape so I do not know it it can open such tape.

I bought this for my adult daughter who doesn’t like the idea of using a box cutter with a blade. She appreciates this one and uses it on all her delivered packages. Not too small. We appreciate how safe it is yet gets the job done. It’s lightweight and easy to grip.

incredible useful tool for dispatching cardboard

以前買った刃が銀色の物だけでは足りないので新しいのを買いました。小さく探しに行くのが面倒なので一部屋に一つあった方がいいです。頻繁に通販利用するのでこれは生活必需品です。切る部分は指で触っても痛くもなんともなく少しギザギザしてる感じがするだけですがダンボールやガムテープに当てて引くと綺麗に切れます。刃も短いので中身を傷つける可能性も低いですね。昔はハサミやカッターナイフ使ってましたが手を切ってしまった事が何度もありこれならよっぽど勢いを付けて手に当てない限り大丈夫だと思います。

I bought two of these.A little on the expensive side, but worth every cent. I save money on the blades I don’t need to keep replacing.Decent sized handles, and enough blade to do the job, without being perceived as a threatening size.I definitely recommend these as a viable alternative to mainstream box cutters.

Very quick at opening endless cardboard packaging. Quicker than scissors and feels safer. Serrated blade is good for cutting through a bit of cardboard if needed. Short blade means I am not afraid of damaging contents of box.

使い勝手がよく　工夫次第でいろんな使い方が出来た。先が短い分力が入って切れやすくなってると思う。クフの後が見える。

So useful for opening all sorts of packaging and much safer than scissors. Brilliant product.
