A safety utility knife also called a box cutter, a razor blade knife, a carpet knife, or a stationery knife is a common tool used in various trades and crafts for a variety of purposes. In case you are wondering how to best handle utility knives, here is a brief guide their use.
A utility knife is usually has a simple and inexpensive holder, typically flat, approximately one inch (25 mm) wide and three to four inches (75 to 100 mm) long, and typically made of either metal or plastic. Some knives use standard razor blades while others have specialized double-ended blade.
The user can manually adjust how far the blade extends from the handle, so that the knife can be used to cut the tape sealing a box or package without damaging the contents of the box or package. When the blade becomes dull, it can be quickly reversed or switched for a new one.

Another style of utility knife is one in which a handle, usually of plastic, contains a long, segmented blade which slides out from it. As the endmost edge becomes dull, it can be snapped off from the rest of the blade. This exposes the next section which is sharp and ready for use. When all the individual segments are used, it is thrown away or a replacement blade is inserted. This kind ofknife often comes in bright colors like orange, blue and yellow and they are commonly known as “wallpaper knives.”
