Never heard of a box cutter.

A.K.A. utility knife. One of those knives with replaceable blades.

I've always called it a Stanley knife, I guess I've never come across the generic name.

I have one.

Milwaukee makes an excellent version, which is the only one I'll buy anymore. But the Stanley steel utility knife is an iconic classic! I remember finding those around my grandfather's Arco gas station.
