This box cutter tool, which is <$12 https://a.co/d/aOxoVOp. It makes opening packages so much easier. It doesn’t have a blade, so it’s much safer to use than scissors or a knife.

It says it has a "ceramic blade" that "stays sharp up to 11x longer".

One of my amazon packages randomly came with some warehouse workers blade that must have dropped in there. These are really nice!
A better tool for basically the same price is a OLFA LA-X. It's a Japanese designed box cutter which has a retractable blade on one end and large dull metal pick on the other end for quickly stabbing packages open.
OLFA is great. I got a box of 12 touch knives and I always have one with me.
If it doesn't have a blade, how does it cut then?
I'm assuming it is the same as using your keys to open a package?
