Manual Carton Cutter
DESCRIPTION
The Slice® 10585 Manual Carton Cutter is a clever addition to our line of safety knives. As the name suggests, this tool design—its exposed blade length and angle—is ideal for boxboard and thin corrugate. The Slice Carton Cutter (Manual) has just enough blade exposure to easily cut through boxboard without fear of damaging package contents. Slide the tool’s protective metal sheath to cover or uncover the blade as needed. The 10585 ships with a rounded-tip 10526 utility knife blade. As with all Slice tools, the blade features our finger-friendly® edge, is chemically inert, never rusts, and lasts up to 11 times longer than a comparable metal blade.

MORE ABOUT SLICE CARTON CUTTERS
What Is a Carton Cutter?
Carton is generally considered to be thin (single-walled) corrugated cardboard or non-corrugated cardboard, also known as boxboard. By extension, carton cutters are any tools designed to slice through these materials.
While many people use utility knives for this purpose and handle designs vary, carton knives typically have a thin, flat rectangular handle with a sheath that slides over the housing to expose or protect the blade. Many use standard metal utility blades while others use (dangerous) snap-off metal blades.These tools are frequently smaller than standard utility cutters and fit easily in the palm of your hand.
How Are Slice Carton Cutters Safer?
At Slice® we design everything with safety in mind. This includes handle issues, such as minimizing blade exposure, but also goes much further because: what cuts you, the handle or the blade? All our blades feature our finger-friendly® edge—a safety grind unique to Slice blades. This proprietary double-angle grind cuts through materials effectively but is safe to the touch.
How Do I Change the Blade in the Slice Carton Cutter?
Slice is committed to easy no-tool blade changes and the 10585 is no exception. To change the blade, push the metal sheath into its protective blade-covering position. Then remove the orange housing by pulling it further down until the sheath is completely removed. Open the housing by pulling up the cover along the lengthwise, unhinged edge, just as you would a book. The old blade simply lifts out.
Ensure that the new blade lines up with the notch in the housing and close the housing. Before you slide the metal sheath back on, check for the notch on the bottom of the sheath. Line up the blade with this notch and slide the housing back in. This will ensure that the stopper on the housing lines up with the notch on the sheath, limiting how far down the sheath can slide.
