For years I've been confused and amazed by the concept of USAians having a special knife set aside just for opening boxes
The legendary "box cutter"
Turns out it's just a stanley knife
@troubleMoney who's Stanley, and why do you give his name to your box cutters? Is he a legendary figure, seen on the loading docks in the twilight, tearing asunder corrugated cardboard and plastic straps? Do the balladeers sing Stanley's tale, is his name whispered in benediction before the first cut?
@troubleMoney disappointingly mundane, but good to know.
