Like many Americans, I bemoan the fact that online shopping hurts local businesses, which can't compete with the convenience of unsustainable perks like "free" two-day Prime shipping. Like many Americans, I still buy a ton of stuff online anyway, because it's sure easier not to have to carry a huge pack of toilet paper home from Aldi (at least, as a New Yorker, I can still be a snob about the fact that I walk to buy groceries). But this also means that, come Prime Day or during the holiday season, I have to deal with a whole lot of cardboard boxes.
Or it was, until I learned about the Canary box cutter, a slim little knife with a non-stick serrated blade and a cheery yellow handle.

My previous methods for cutting through cardboard—kitchen scissors or a steak knife (don't be like me, kids!)—were less than effective, and utility knives, though certainly an improvement, aren't great at the task either. Cardboard is stiff and fibrous, so while a razor blade can slice through it pretty easily, it's hard to use one to make a controlled cut, as the blade will careen off-course if you try to go against the "grain," so to speak; utility blades also dull quickly but will still remain sharp enough to easily cut you if you handle them incorrectly.
The all-around serrated edges of the Canary, on the other hand, seem to cut through cardboard like butter, whether you're going with or against the grain, pushing the blade or pulling it, or making a sawing motion; its blade stays sharp much longer, and won't cut you nearly as easily. (These qualities have made the Canary a favorite of crafters who work with cardboard.)
It seems a stretch to call this little blade life-changing, but it has definitely saved me a lot of time—much more than $8 worth.
