Craftsman Folding Box Cutter

January 18th, 2010 2 comments

Dear Craftsman Folding box cutter,

You have been good friend to me. But sometimes you just have to say goodbye. It was fun from the day I met you at sears till the day I got my new Kershaw Scallion. I want you to know that I won’t forget about you and we will still be together when I don’t want damage the blade on my scallion. I’m afraid it was just time for a change and I know you will understand.

Your friend,

Tom

Without further ado here is my take on the Craftsman Folding box cutter.

For the last year or so I have used a craftsman folding Box cutter as a daily carry knife. I purchased it for around nine dollars after I somehow lost my Böker knife.

The real benefit of a folding box cutter is the ability to cut anything on anything, without having to worry about the blade. If the blade gets dull all you need to do is put a new razor blade in or flip the blade around to the other side. Compared to a traditional razor blade the folding variety is superior because it locks into place and is more compact. The downside to this razor is that it still isn’t as small as a pocket knife, it has a small blade, and the thumb screw is useless. In my opinion it is a good knife for on the job but isn’t the best as a daily carrying knife.

Pros Cons
  • Cheap
  • Durable
  • Metal Scales
  • Replaceable Blade
  • Large
  • Small Blade
  • Worthless Thumbscrew
