Knives slip on the plastic and can be more dangerous. The clever feature of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B0006ACWEQ\/cooltools-20\">OpenX<\/a> ($4) is that there are two blades in one. The razor-like, pop out blade is perfect for starting an initial cut, and then the main protected blade works great to slice the whole thing open. I&#8217;ve used this on every kind of thick plastic packaging imaginable and it hasn&#8217;t dulled yet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Boris Feldman<\/p>\n<p>OpenX Dual-Blade Package Opener<br \/>\n$5<br \/>\nAvailable from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B0006ACWEQ\/ref=nosim\/?tag=cooltools-20\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Manufactured by <a href=\"http:\/\/ranchmark.com\/\">Ranchmark, Inc.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[I remembered hearing about this one a while back and was skeptical &#8212; until the company sent me one to try out.

As a leftie myself, I was pretty disappointed when I realized that due to the locations of the button to extend the hidden blade, this tool can&#8217;t really be used left handed.  Once the initial cut has been made, it can be used, but the switch does get in the way a bit.
