Review: Simple, Cheap, Useful - I ordered these years ago and my family still uses them. Cheap, sturdy, sharp, and can just replace with a new box after you inevitably lose some in 5 years. Simple push design, thin blade that can still be used for breaking down boxes 5 years later.
Review: Great quality, durable, convenient box cutters. - In my long ago youth, I used to work retail and we had box cutters just like these. They are surprisingly useful for so many different things and oddly difficult to find (at least I could find them at standard hardware stores) until I found them here on desertcart. I've never quite found anything else that is as effective, simple, and convenient as these box cutters. These have easily replaced single blades and are quite sturdy. I find the size ideal as they aren't too big and can be easily and conveniently slipped into pockets or wherever you might want them without being cumbersome. Simple sliding blade keeps it safe. The only real downside is the same thing that makes them convenient makes them easy to misplace. But, they are also cheap, so that's no big deal. I just get more. I did notice a lot of concerns about colors in other reviews. I got a good mix of yellow, red, white, and maybe others. I don't remember. I don't really care about the colors at all, but unit was a mix if someone else does,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The best utility knife since the 1950s! These are the real deal. Safest for your shop!
*by E***W on May 28, 2015*

Update from 2023, I just ordered another box (after trying another brand during covid, called "CanoPus" which were also made in USA... Pacific is still way better! The quality is maybe a little lower, vs one from the 10 years ago (the edges are a little sharper) -- but nothing else comes close for the price. These are like the original from the 1950s... used by professional stockers and packing folks all over the country. They are Made in USA, and beat the pants off of the Chinese knock-offs. These feature aluminum outer sheathes over steel holders. Over the years they seem to have removed the bottom grabber / scraper feature that some makes had. No problem as I only needed to hold the blade that way once in a blue moon. Very few people, outside of the packing / shipping and store room stocking trades know that these make some of the safest and most useful utility knives. I can't tell you how many accidents I have seen or heard of with the bulky Stanley style, and crummy break-a-blade style utility knives -- overkill for most any job as the blades stick out too far and retract clumsily with the thumb button. These boxcutters on the other hand ... neatly glide away when you are not using the blade, safe to put in your pocket. They have unlimited other uses anytime you need a sharp blade.. electronics, home restoration, cutting sheetrock, opening delicate stuff like watch cases, not to mention cutting cardboard!...The safety razor blades are not as tough as utility knives ... no problem --- just flip it over when it gets dull and replace it for pennies at any drug store or hardware shop.
