Review: Works much better than I expected! - I run a shipping business that necessitates opening lots of boxes, and far too many times I have risked injuring my fingers using the conventional heavy, sharp-bladed metal box cutter. Luckily, this ingenious device has been a complete game changer for me. As someone who hasn’t used a ceramic-bladed knife before, I was skeptical about how well it would work. However, I’m now amazed at how much quicker and easier it is to open most boxes with this product compared to my old box cutter. Although the product is mostly made of plastic, the ceramic top is quite strong and can cut through most tape and cardboard with ease. It’s super easy to retract and extend the blade, and the compactness means it can be easily stored anywhere. Overall, I highly recommend this product, as it has revolutionized my process of opening and breaking down boxes for my business at an incredibly fair price. Review: Highly recommend - desertcart left one of these in one of my shipments once (thank you for the freeby desertcart) so I tried it out. I ended up buying a few more. They work great. Light, small, very visible when you drop them in the yard (although blaze orange would be better) and because the blade retracts when you are not using it, it is much safer than a standard razor blade knife. The blade is rather small, but it is enough to cut cardboard, bags of mulch, etc. And no rusting. ## Features - Westcott Ceramic Safety Cutter: This full-size safety cutter is designed to cut through the largest of boxes and allows you to open boxes with ease - Retractable Blade: This safety cutter comes equipped with a disposable ceramic blade that automatically retracts; Ceramic blades have longer life than steel blades - Versatile: Designed with your convenience in mind, this safety cutter is perfect for both at-home and in-office use - Safe and Easy To Use: This retractable box cutter features an ABS frame for high-impact durability and a fully retractable blade - Premium Quality: Westcott SafeEdge ceramic blades are safer and longer lasting than traditional steel blades ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Material | Ceramic | | Brand | Westcott | | Color | Green | | Item Length | 6 Inches | | Handle Material | Abs,Steel | | Blade Material | Ceramic | | Style | Full Size Safety Cutter | | Manufacturer | ACME UNITED CORPORATION | | UPC | 073577175198 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00073577175198 | | Item Weight | 0.634 ounces | | Item model number | 17519 | | Material Type | Ceramic | | Number of Items | 1 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 17519 | ## Product Details - **Material:** Ceramic - **Brand:** Westcott - **Color:** Green - **Item Length:** 6 Inches - **Handle Material:** Abs,Steel - **Blade Material:** Ceramic - **Style:** Full Size Safety Cutter - **Manufacturer:** ACME UNITED CORPORATION - **UPC:** 073577175198 - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00073577175198 ## Images ![17519 Full-Size Ceramic Blade Box Cutter, Retractable Utility Knife - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41o4RiWs5vL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does the knife come with a blade?** A: The knife itself has a blade, but it does not come with any extras. Just the one internal blade. **Q: how do you replace or reverse the ceramic safety blade?** A: Hi, This Item (17519) has a nonreplaceable blade. However, Item 16575 is a similar item and its blade is replaceable. Item 16575 has the black top, this is what physically distinguishes these two items from each other. Below is a link to the product detail page with a video showing how to replace the blade on item 16575. https://www.westcottbrand.com/westcott-ceramic-safety-knife-16475-parent.html Thank you! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works much better than I expected! *by M***. on June 17, 2025* I run a shipping business that necessitates opening lots of boxes, and far too many times I have risked injuring my fingers using the conventional heavy, sharp-bladed metal box cutter.

I ended up buying a few more. They work great. Light, small, very visible when you drop them in the yard (although blaze orange would be better) and because the blade retracts when you are not using it, it is much safer than a standard razor blade knife. The blade is rather small, but it is enough to cut cardboard, bags of mulch, etc. And no rusting. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic. Cut better and safer than metal box cutters. Retractable blade opens/closes every time. *by U***R on November 1, 2021* I have at least 5 of these scattered around to open boxes. They're safe because the blade automatically retracts when you let go of the button. Extremely sharp. Cut better and don't get dull like the metal blades. ## Frequently Bought Together - Westcott 17519 Full-Size Ceramic Blade Box Cutter, Retractable Utility Knife - Westcott Box Cutter Safety Ceramic Utility Knife (16475) - Westcott Ceramic Replacement Blades 3-Pack --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/241904842-17519-full-size-ceramic-blade-box-cutter-retractable-utility-knife](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/241904842-17519-full-size-ceramic-blade-box-cutter-retractable-utility-knife) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-31*
