I count 7 in mine.
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 should have 3 but 2 are missing somewhere.
Box cutters are elusive creatures. Cloths hangers and socks are rank amateurs in comparison.
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?
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.
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.
I own one box cutter, and only because the movers packed it into my stuff by mistake.
I mean, 1, but we also have scissors.
If you can always find it, one is plenty!
2 that i return to their designated space after using. I think there’s a third hiding somewhere
Mine like to migrate to different drawers when I’m not looking.
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.
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.
Two or three. I often wish my lazy neighbors would ask to borrow one when they stuff large, unflattened boxes into their recycling barrels. #BurnAFuckingCalorie
The recycling people would appreciate it as well. Not that they’d ever do anything, but our recycling company requires boxes to be cut down.
None. But I have an excellent folding utility knife with exchangeable blades.
Is it a Milwaukee?
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.
Two
A respectable number.
2
A sane number for a person not prone to misplacing their box cutters!
