It comfortably slips into your pocket, is lightweight, and very easy and safe to use. The blade is easily grasped and quickly exposes itself, making it fast and simple to cut through boxes or building materials. It effortlessly slices through cardboard, vinyl, siding, foam board, plastic straps and bags, packaging materials, and dismantles boxes with minimal effort. No need to flip your wrist all day or push a button to open and close your knife. The CAT effortlessly opens and closes so quickly it's like having the blade exposed all the time. A utility knife that works so well, workers won't care that it's one of the safest knives available. The safety features don't hinder its performance on the job. Moreover, it's offered at an excellent price, especially with discounts β€” I ended up buying two more knives for the price of one "red" box knife! Having tested dozens of box cutters and knives, I rank this at the top, alongside the Slice orange ceramic box cutter (for boxes) with the "p" handle body and the Kershaw push-button flip knives. Whether you're breaking down boxes or working on a construction site, this CAT Utility Knife is superb β€” just a fantastic tool! Review: Best Box Cutter I've Ever Owned (Medium Sized Hands) - I have worked in warehouses for almost six years. Every day, I make between two dozen and two hundred cuts on cardboard boxes, zip ties, thick bands, and plastic straps. This CAT is hands down the best box cutter I've ever owned. The ergonomic design of the handle lock and grip are comfortable; I can cut a lot of cardboard without my wrist becoming sore, and I can press down hard on tough bands without pinching my wrist joint. The red lock toggles smoothly despite constant exposure to dirt, mud, and sawdust. Changing blades is easy, and there are no knobs or weird screws that loosen and fall off (like my previous box cutter). My employer loves Uline box cutters, but I paid out of pocket for this CAT and don't regret it. It is light, the blade hold remains snug despite months of daily use, and the silicone grip design stays firm in my hand even during the hot, sweaty summer months. CAT hit a home run with this box cutter. For my medium-sized hands, this is great. Large and XL hands might find it a little small (like your pinky finger won't fit on the grip, but slides off to the side). ## Features - WORK SAFER: Reduce workplace injuries and downtime with this self retracting safety knife; squeeze the trigger bar to extend the blade, then release the bar to retract it - CHANGE BLADES WITH THE PUSH OF A BUTTON: No tools needed, just push the blade holder button, pull out the old blade and insert a new one - CUT IN COMFORT: Slim, ergonomic design and light weight makes this knife ideal for all-day use - LOCK THE BLADE OPEN WHEN NEEDED: Easily lock the blade open for repetitive cutting tasks - Included Components : Utility Knife, 3 Extra Blades ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07GC6ZVJ4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #33,505 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #181 in Utility Knives | | Blade Material | Carbon Steel | | Brand | CAT | | Brand Name | CAT | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 898 Reviews | | Handle Material | Metal | | Handle Type | Auto-Retractable | | Included Components | Utility Knife, 3 Extra Blades | | Item Length | 2.63 Inches | | Item Type Name | Utility Knife | | Manufacturer | Cat | | Manufacturer Part Number | 240071 | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Number | 240071 | | Product Style | Ergo,Ergonomic | | UPC | 028907521008 | ## Product Details - **Blade Material:** Carbon Steel - **Brand:** CAT - **Color:** Black - **Handle Material:** Metal - **Item Length:** 2.63 Inches - **Manufacturer:** Cat - **Material:** Metal - **Style:** Ergo,Ergonomic - **UPC:** 028907521008 ## Images ![Safety Utility Knife Box Cutter Self-Retracting, Squeeze Handle to Extend, Release to Retract, Lock Open w/Switch, Ergo Handle w/ 3 Safety-Tip Blades That Store Inside - 240071 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ho2C4gyKL.jpg) ![Safety Utility Knife Box Cutter Self-Retracting, Squeeze Handle to Extend, Release to Retract, Lock Open w/Switch, Ergo Handle w/ 3 Safety-Tip Blades That Store Inside - 240071 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+X+NmXjNL.jpg) ![Safety Utility Knife Box Cutter Self-Retracting, Squeeze Handle to Extend, Release to Retract, Lock Open w/Switch, Ergo Handle w/ 3 Safety-Tip Blades That Store Inside - 240071 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aAT6uCQ+L.jpg) ![Safety Utility Knife Box Cutter Self-Retracting, Squeeze Handle to Extend, Release to Retract, Lock Open w/Switch, Ergo Handle w/ 3 Safety-Tip Blades That Store Inside - 240071 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cw4paDu9L.jpg) ![Safety Utility Knife Box Cutter Self-Retracting, Squeeze Handle to Extend, Release to Retract, Lock Open w/Switch, Ergo Handle w/ 3 Safety-Tip Blades That Store Inside - 240071 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61i32ZA218L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would a nite ize hip clip work on this?** A: Yes, there is flat surface that could stick to. This Sits easy in the pocket already. **Q: Do you have these for left handers?** A: It’s ambidextrous, except for the safety. **Q: Is there a warranty?** A: I dont know the answer but would relate that it is a very nice knife for medium duty. If you use it on drywall or something like that the mechanism will get messed up quickly. For a box cutter etc. (anything that does not powder or is sticky or greasy) it is exceptional. I have about 6 of them that I have given as gifts and everyone loves them (even my son who was using it to score sheet rock and his is a bit testy now) loves it. Switching blades, getting the knife in and out or reversing blades it is exceptional **Q: Does it have a clip? Or any way to carry it outside your pocket?** A: No it does not come with a clip and no there isn't anyway to put a hook or anything on it that I have found. But it is a great knife ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Utility Knife On The Market & Safest *by A***S on February 1, 2026* This is the best box knife for sale today.
