Stanley tool retractable box cutter.
had one exactly like this one but it was stolen from my apartment while I was in the hospital several months ago. It is such a comfortable handle. Ergonomically correct. The brand name alone says it all.

5 out of 5 stars review
This is easy to use and safe - easy blade changes!
This is a great knife and it works well. I have had it for at least 10 years. I cannot understand why people give this a bad rating. Blade changes are very easy. Extend the blade fully past the last locked position. Press the yellow button (which will be extended) and the blade slides out EASILY and a new blade slides in easily. This is a large knife and it is easy to hold and the grip on the underside has a raised texture. The blade storage is easy to access as well. If you were to need many blades at hand for a job, this would be a good choice. I think that it would be good if a video was linked to the product description to help show how this knife works.

Very nice utility knife despite the bad reviews.
Used this several times now. Easy to hold and use. The weight is perfect. Some reviews say they can't get the cardboard off, some say they can't change the blade. I had a moment of trouble with each of these but only a moment, it's not rocket science and it can be done.
