Utility Blades

These days, it’s difficult to find someone who doesn’t have a box cutter or utility knife on hand. This secret function of a utility blade will come in handy whether this essential tool is something you use on a regular basis or something that generally stays in a drawer gathering dust. Utility knives have a thick, plastic cap on the end, and the blades contain small score lines, as you may have noticed.

The score lines are there to show you were to break off the blade so that you can have a new, sharp blade whenever you desire. You may also remove the plastic cap and use it to cut off the blade! It’s simple, safe, and prevents cuts.
