Unwrapping packages should be a small joy, not a daily struggle—or a trip to the urgent care clinic because a pair of open scissors or a random steak knife slipped while being misused. With so many of us shopping online today, resulting in an endless parade of deliveries from Amazon, Hello Fresh, Chewy, and, in my case, products to review—a reliable, safe, and easy-to-use tool that can slice through all that tape, plastic, and shrink wrap is necessary. Enter Slice, the ultimate cutting tool that brings safety and efficiency to your daily unboxing routine.
Slice offers a range of ceramic cutting tools designed to make your life easier and your fingers safer. These tools feature micro-blades that effortlessly cut through tape, corrugated cardboard, and even those notoriously difficult clamshell packages.
The best part? Slice’s blades are made from ceramic, which is harder and sharper than traditional metal. On the Mohs hardness scale, ceramic blades score an impressive 8.2—second only to diamonds—compared to metal’s 5.5. This means you can go weeks or even months without replacing a blade. And when you do, it’s a breeze, thanks to the simple, no-tool blade change feature.
Slice was founded in 2008 by TJ Scimone, who envisioned reimagining everyday cutting tools to make them safer and more user-friendly. His mission was also personal: One percent of all Slice sales are donated to autism research, inspired by his experience caring for his autistic son. So you can buy these products and know that you’re also supporting a great cause.
Here are some of our favorites.
Slice Carton Cutter
The $9.49 Slice Carton Cutter perfectly exemplifies the brand’s commitment to safety and efficiency. This small box opener is made with 100% zirconium oxide, offering a finger-friendly edge that keeps you and your packages safe.
The blade is sharp enough to cut through the boxboard without damaging what’s inside, and it never rusts, lasting up to 11 times longer than metal alternatives.
Its ergonomic design makes it easy to handle, whether opening boxes or slicing through other materials like plastic, shrink wrap, or vinyl.
Slice Manual Box Cutter
For something more robust, the $19.99 Slice Manual Box Cutter offers a bamboo handle and a three-position manual slider, allowing you to lock the blade in fully extended, semi-protruding, or fully hidden positions.
