boxcutter
Retracts into handle
A boxcutter is a small handheld tool with a retractable razor blade, used to open cardboard boxes and cut packaging materials.
The blade slides out from a handle and can be retracted for safety.
Also called a utility knife or Stanley knife (British).
Since September 11, 2001, boxcutters have been prohibited on commercial aircraft—the hijackers used them as weapons.
