when I was a stock boy in a grocery store we had
box cutters.



But did you call them "box cutters" or "utility knives"?


Yes, we called them box cutters. Staples has them for sell now, listed as
box cutter.

This one is shown as the blade extended. It will push back up in the outer
part to make it safe to carry. It is mainly for cutting cardboard boxes.

The utility knives are much heavier and use a differant type of blade. Made
to cut much thicker material.
