Worrying amounts of "blade keeps falling out" in the reviews. Positive reviews read like paid promotions.
You don't want to be carrying one of these in your pocket. A razor blade can cut emergency room deep into your leg if the blade slips while you are walking.

A regular house key can open up a box. Otherwise go buy a regular box cutter at Dollar Tree.

Reviews on sturdiness would make me nervous to pocket carry this, but it seems good enough for a box cutter. In for 2

Sounds like it has the same failure points as every other cheap knife.

The first thing I do with every knife I get is throw some blue (red bottle) loctite on every screw thread.

If the spring tension on the retractable blade seems unsafe because it's too easy to press, elongating the spring mechanism or adding tension with spacers is pretty easy to do.

The biggest concern I have is what the replacement blades cost.

This just seems like a disaster waiting to happen were this pocket carried. Last thing I want is a razor sharp blade in my pocket that may open unexpectedly. I do have a pocket carry for opening boxes and the occasional time it's been open in my pockets it wasn't an issue because it's just not that sharp.

Not sure what the point of being this small if it's not for pocket carry. If it's just laying around to open things with i wouldn't want it tiny.

Would not use as an actual pocket knife, but could be useful to gave a small box cutter easily accessible. Grabbing one to keep on the key hook for packages.

I can not comment on the quality other than Sheffield generally make junk. I did notice that the replacement mini utility blades are more expensive than the full size though. The breakaway blade type knives seem a better value for something this size.
