I count 7 in mine.
About a thousand but I usually can’t find any.
This is the way of the utility knife.
Probably like 40-50 my rommate has a weird fascination with them. At some point they brought home a box if like 40 of the cheap ones. I assume it was part if some art thing they planed then never bothered with. Now they are all over the apartment.
Oh. Oh my. So, when a blade gets dull, you don’t replace the blade… you replace the whole knife? That’s some next-level utility knifing!
Lol no, but they are segragated blades you can use the slot on the back of one knife to break the blade of another. I can at least be less stingey about keeping them sharp this way. As they are cheap ones the blades do not last very long and rust out with even a tiny amount of moisture.
Still sounds like a sweet situation that could last for years.
I mean, 1, but we also have scissors.
If you can always find it, one is plenty!
0
Not nearly enough box cutter for a properly seasoned house.
0 that I can find. Maybe 5-10 that are lost in the void.
They’re not lost, they’re just surprise knives for future you.
Zero
Zero is such a lonely number.
Several, and I’ll have you know they’re not “squirreled away.” They’re stored carefully next to the bolt cutters and tarps.
In my house, if they’re not carefully hidden around the house, they’re (a) never handy, and (b) prone to getting relocated such that they’re (a) not handy.
None. I just use a pocket knife.
I often do too, but my wife doesn’t carry one, and if I’m breaking down a lot of boxes, I find that a utility knife does a better job.
Way back when, I had a job where I used them regularly. Always had one on me at work. And therein, I had 4 or 5 at home any given day.
Always a knife at hand, for host or guest!
1 in the garage, 2 in the basement. Plus a pocket knife on each floor.
You must open packages with the knives, and keep the utility knives for the big jobs.
Around four from my various retail jobs in the past. They’re all incredibly dull by now though
That’s why the blades are replaceable!
Hah true enough! I rarely use them but I really should get a pack of blades
I’m down to one, and it’s just a small ceramic blade one.
I miss my old g6Ceramic blades are nice for keeping an edge. Do you find it durable enough for the rough use it must get?
I eventually started buying more expensive carbide blades - they last far longer than regular steel, and I worry less about chipping.
It’s alright. It still cuts after a year. But I’m not as confident with it doing heavy stuff.
At this point, there are probably at least 12 in various states of lost/found. I can currently locate 3.
This is a sign of dedication. Yours is the superior count.
When I worked in the supermarket, I would easily would have 4 hidden in different pockets and drawers.
Oh! A professional utility-knifer!
Did you have a problem with sticky-fingered co-workers?
Never heard of a box cutter.
A.K.A. utility knife. One of those knives with replaceable blades.
I’ve always called it a Stanley knife, I guess I’ve never come across the generic name.
I have one.
Milwaukee makes an excellent version, which is the only one I’ll buy anymore. But the Stanley steel utility knife is an iconic classic! I remember finding those around my grandfather’s Arco gas station.
