I count 7 in mine.
I should have 3 but 2 are missing somewhere.
Box cutters are elusive creatures. Cloths hangers and socks are rank amateurs in comparison.
Atleast 8. Gotta have two per room
A human after my own heart.
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.
Around four from my various retail jobs in the past. They’re all incredibly dull by now though
That’s why the blades are replaceable!
Hah true enough! I rarely use them but I really should get a pack of blades
None. But I have an excellent folding utility knife with exchangeable blades.
Is it a Milwaukee?
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.

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.
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?
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.
One very old and very blunt box cutter, hidden in a junk drawer somewhere. It’s enjoying its retirement :)
I’ve resorted to using a cheap fruit knife if I need to cut any boxes.Sad utility knife :-(
Why don’t you want to replace the blade?
I don’t even know where this first one came from :) I think my dad left it lying around when he helped me move, many, many, maaaaany years ago.
I’m not a box-cutter kind of person I guess. It’s ok though, he’s not alone. The set of cheap screw driver bits and those hexagon thingies (allen wrench?) are keeping him company.The only good screw driver bits are the cheap ones, FWIW. They all strip out eventually, and I’ve never noticed much of a difference twixt the cheap and the pricey ones. May as well get cheap ones and recycle them!
1 in the garage, 2 in the basement. Plus a pocket knife on each floor.
You must open packages with the knives, and keep the utility knives for the big jobs.

Not nearly enough box cutter for a properly seasoned house.
I’m down to one, and it’s just a small ceramic blade one.
I miss my old g6Ceramic blades are nice for keeping an edge. Do you find it durable enough for the rough use it must get?
I eventually started buying more expensive carbide blades - they last far longer than regular steel, and I worry less about chipping.
It’s alright. It still cuts after a year. But I’m not as confident with it doing heavy stuff.
Box cutters, none at the moment (though I’ve had up to 3 at once, 1 normal one and 2 of those folding types with the 1-1.5inch long changeable blades you know the type.)
Knives in general that I can and would use to cut boxes (not counting kitchen knives): 4 multitools, 5 folding/locking knives.
I use the utility knives for cutting down boxes, because sharpening knives is not my favorite passtime and cutting cardboard is so hard on an edge. However, like you I’ll use most of my pocket knives to cut open boxes and will use them to cut them down if necessary. The only thing I won’t use for boxes is kitchen knives.
Drywall, on the other hand: I would never use a pocket knife for. It’s just not worth it.
Agreed on all points. If I was breaking down boxes often I would absolutely be using solely boxcutters for them and nothing else.
