safety knife

Retractable box cutter

A safety knife is a cutting tool designed to minimize the risk of injury, typically featuring a retractable, guarded, or concealed blade.

Common in workplaces where workers open boxes and packaging regularly: The warehouse requires employees to use safety knives instead of box cutters.

Some designs automatically retract the blade when pressure is released.
