She&#8217;s young enough that I didn&#8217;t want to just give her a boxcutter, but I wanted her to have as much creative leeway as she could to come up with her own creations. As soon as I tried this cutter out, I was super impressed. It goes through double-wall (e.g. refrigerator box) cardboard like butter. But if you grab it by the wrong end, stick it your pocket, etc. you won&#8217;t slice your hand. <\/p>\n<p>Because it uses a sawing motion to cut, there is much less of a feeling like a runaway blade could slice her leg (why yes, that is custom stitching on my pants, how observant). That said, just because the sharpness is a different format (micro-serrations as opposed to a single sharp edge), you could still saw your hand open real good, so we had a good discussion on how to use it safely. <\/p>\n<p>I find myself borrowing it all the time because it makes breaking down boxes to fit in the recycling bin a breeze, honestly better than my favorite utility knife with a brand new blade in it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A saw for cardboard<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28866"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/76"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28866"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28866\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28870,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28866\/revisions\/28870"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kk.org\/cooltools\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
