I just hate getting boxes in the mail because i just can never quite open them. Do you know how many regular steak knives I have ruined trying to open packages! And my scissors just can not cut it…a box cutter is the way to go. Get something that was made to do exactly that…cut boxes. It just makes more sense and is a lot cheaper than getting a new set of steak knives 2 and 3 times a year that is for sure!
