Review: Great box cutter - Very good box cutter. It’s sturdy, sharp, and easy to handle. Cuts through cardboard effortlessly and feels safe to use. Great quality for the price, I recommend it.
Review: The best knife for retail - I've been using the S5 box knife in a retail environment for a little over 10 months now, and I can honestly say it's the best box knife I've ever used. Most of the "box activity" in my work life is simply slicing open tape seals on boxes, both to stock items and break boxes down. With the standard-issue retail box knife, you first have to slide the cover off before you cut the box open and slide the cover back on after you're finished. (Well, I suppose you could leave the cover off if you wanted to add a few new words to your vocabulary!) You have to do this twice with a typical box. With the S5, the attachment built into the knife above the blade eliminates the time it takes to do this as well as the possibility you'll cut yourself in the process of retracting the blade on the old-style knives. The tape cutter attachment on the S5 works on the normal Scotch tape as well as the security tape with thread shippers like desertcart use to seal boxes. You could use the blade if you wanted to—and it's certainly there if you need it—but it's not necessary most of the time. I also use the shrink wrap cutter when I'm breaking down skids. As much as I've used it, the cut is still buttery smooth and doesn't get snagged in the shrink wrap like a standard knife would. I also appreciate the fact that, having spent a lot less time getting the blades of the old-style knives snagged in shrink wrap, this has entirely eliminated the errant busted milk jug disasters as a result of blade slippage. That's at least 30 minutes of cleanup, so the S5 has actually saved me a couple hours. The shrink wrap blade on the S5 is completely sealed, so it's impossible to slice through anything. I'm also using the lanyard and knife holster with my S5, and both work perfectly until the little clip that holds the knife in the holster breaks off and the knife falls out every time you sit down. Just know if you're considering the holster that the small piece that holds the knife in will probably break off. Overall, this thing is amazing. I can't believe I'm writing such a glowing review of a box knife, nor did I ever think that would be something I'd do. That said, this thing just works, and you should get one if you work in a retail store and want something that's leaps and bounds above the knife your store will give you.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many come in a case???? I need some for my company 😬**
A: Hi Elizabeth, a full case of the S5R has 72pcs.  You could also consider the UKH423 (holster) and CL36 (lanyard) for cutter retention.  Thank you for your interest!

**Q: Is this the same box cutter Gus Fring uses?**
A: No he uses a self retracting  one. Its a safety grip brand. It does not have a thumb guard.

**Q: Is there a replacement for the integrated blade?**
A: Replacement blades are sold separately.

**Q: I normally carry my cutter in my pocket....will this fit?? Does the curved part fold in by any chance??**
A: Yes, it will fit into a back pocket nicely -- it's about the length of a standard pen.  The curved part (a handy attachment that can be used to quickly cut shrink-wrap from pallets, or for similar convenient uses) does indeed fold in, so it's not visible at all until you unfold it.  It's a good product -- the best type of cutter I've used, in fact.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good knife
*by A***S on November 18, 2025*

Very good knife. Fits hand well. Tape cutting tip is also a plus. Wish this company had a BETTER holder. The metal blade button on the ut knife continually wears down the catch on the plastic knife holder. This makes the holder USELESS! And the leather one this company sells is no better. Buy a knife holder from Home Depot or Lowe's
