That is why I like my box-cutter/folding knife. It folds like a knife, but holds a razor blade. I loan it to people when they want to cut something. Normally when someone wants your knife, it is because they don't have one. And this usually means that they don't know how to use one or maintain one, or what not to cut with one. Cardboard is really hard on a blade, for example. So, if someone breaks or dulls my razor blade, I just stick a fresh one in. I also use it to cut cardboard etc. I never let my other knives that I keep sharp cut cardboard. Although I like a really sharp edge, and I know how to keep it that way, or get it that way, I still hate actually sharpening it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> So, I try to keep them as sharp as possible all the time. This also translates into using scissors much more often.

Jim, you need to ditch the knife and just bring scissors. If you worry about cutting yourself, then maybe you have a tendency to it (my mom sure does). You are better off without one. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
