SliceMicro Safety Cutter | Safe Ceramic Box Cutter Lasting 11x Longer than Metal | Keychain Box Opener | 2 Pack

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Great for opening boxes and packages. No real blade to cut you and they work so well. Love these little openers. Have ordered them several times and given them to my kids as well.

I like the concept. I dislike the fact that little tiny blade got even smaller the first time I used it. The blade moved up into the mechanism each time I cut something. Also, little bit of the blade crumbled off right away. I can now barely see the blade and it will hardly cut the labels off the Amazon paper bags.The blade is now pretty much flush with the part where it is attached. The labels on plastic shipping bags now need help with scissors with this little contraption.The fuel to return it would be the same cost as the trip to return it. Soooooo…. I will use it on what it will work on and then I will trash it—and that won’t be long. Even though the blade is almost not visible, it still cuts a few things if a lot of pressure is applied. It’s like a car running out of gas and you have to eeek out every drop to get to a gas station.I do not like giving bad reviews. I wish I could have give this item a full five stars. I do like the concept of safety and some others advantages. If it just would have kept its blade!!I take labels with my address off packages so that can shred the labels. I won’t ever order this product again because it only cut two or three labels off from three bags when the blade moved up into the mechanism. It also had a little tiny piece of the blade crumble off right at the beginning of using it. It was disappointing, but not the end of the world. I did find something that works without having to use scissors. I would have liked this idea better it had worked. I’m glad it worked well for those who had a good experience.UPDATE:: Well, last night I was looking something to cut a precise parchment liner for my one piece stainless steel angel food tube cake pans. Whatta ya know!! Found this little contraption in my drawer of kitchen tool. Glad I didn’t throw it away. It worked like a charm even though the little tiny sliver of the blade was visible.I made a form for tracing the shape I need for lining the pans. Put a padding of paper towel under the parchment and just ran this little tool over it. Worked better than anything else i have tried for lining parchment for cake pans.I have changed my opinion. It’s a keeper!Going to order a couple more. I might not use it for anything else, but what it does on cutting parchment makes it well worth it.I’m giving it 5 stars instead of the one star on my original review.

Surprisingly effective, considering it's not really sharp to the touch. It only feels like a sharpish bump when you run your finger on it-not a retractable blade, but still not very noticeable. Still effective at cutting through packaging tape. The built-in magnet is pretty good too, slides down the surface a bit till it stops. Recommend, especially if you're uncomfortable using a razor.

This cutter works well for flat items, such as opening box tape, cutting coupons, or slicing through a bag placed on a stable surface. However, results can be inconsistent when cutting items that aren’t completely flat, like a produce bag held in one hand, since the cutting edge of the small ceramic blade may shift away from the intended spot with any movement. The blade retains its sharpness far longer than a traditional metal utility blade while remaining finger-safe. (However, it -can- chip if dropped onto a hard surface at just the right angle, making the small blade even smaller.)Can be easily attached to any magnetic surface such as a fridge or metal filing cabinet for convenient storage. (Or there's also a key ring hole, but don't know if I'd want a mini ceramic blade in my pocket, that while finger/skin-safe, may accidently cut though fabric fibers given the chance.)

I am shocked by how often I find myself actually using this thing. It's really small and has a teensy tiny ceramic blade at the very tip of it. It can fit in your pocket with room to spare. It's about the length of a chapstick tube. It's so light. It's really easy to use, too. It's small enough not to cut yourself with. I wouldn't actually put it in my pocket, though, since the blade is always out, sort of like a little snaggletooth. It would be nice if there was a way to cover the blade so transporting it was a little easier. I like the way it's built. It feels good in my hand and has a natural, ergonomic shape.

Wonderfully effective for preparing cardboard boxes for recycling! I love how its gentle shape fits so comfortably in my hand and its color is such a calming green. The ceramic cutting projection is nonthreatening, taking away any serious concern for hand injuries. This device has made my task so peaceful, quick and safe.

These are amazing if you are constantly breaking down boxes. Small and work well. Safe for kids to use. We have a lot of boxes. I've already orded a second set.

Very nice, can rip packages open very easily which helps save time and is very convenient, Small Item so it is easy to store, Comfortable to use aswell with nice materal, good value since its very cheap and safe to use since it wont cut ur fingers, very family safe.
