Box cutters, none at the moment (though I've had up to 3 at once, 1 normal one and 2 of those folding types with the 1-1.5inch long changeable blades you know the type.)

Knives in general that I can and would use to cut boxes (not counting kitchen knives): 4 multitools, 5 folding/locking knives.

I use the utility knives for cutting down boxes, because sharpening knives is not my favorite passtime and cutting cardboard is so hard on an edge. However, like you I'll use most of my pocket knives to cut open boxes and will use them to cut them down if necessary. The only thing I won't use for boxes is kitchen knives.

Drywall, on the other hand: I would never use a pocket knife for. It's just not worth it.

At least two. We just moved into a new place and we know where two are.

None. But I have an excellent folding utility knife with exchangeable blades.

Is it a Milwaukee?

Two or three. I often wish my lazy neighbors would ask to borrow one when they stuff large, unflattened boxes into their recycling barrels. #BurnAFuckingCalorie

The recycling people would appreciate it as well. Not that they'd ever do anything, but our recycling company requires boxes to be cut down.

I have four... somewhere around here. There's usually one nearby when I need it.

I think about five. Back when I had rabbits I'd say seven, they were viscous box killers.

Organic, all-natural, environmentally friendly box-cutters! I like it!

The simple box cutters with replacement blades? Three.

However, I have a couple hundred objects that can be used to cut boxes :)

I think I have four; two in the basement in my toolbox (one medium-sized, one large), one in the kitchen and also a teeny-tiny one in my pocket that I carry all the time.
