(*´ω`*)Good morning♪
It’s the 8 AM daily blog.
Today, May 5th, there was apparently a magnitude 6+ earthquake in Ishikawa.
I think it might be coming soon… that’s what I think every day.
I wish it wouldn’t happen, but that seems unlikely.
Anyway
In recent years, with the proliferation of e-commerce sites
Opening cardboard boxes has become routine.
Motorcycle riders“open them with a key”
I sometimes do this when I’m lazy… ( ;∀;)
From Kokuyo“Hakoake”which is
“specialized for opening”I bought this item.

Here’s what it looks like overall.
“At first glance”
Just regular scissors.
The secret is in the tip(*´ω`*)

Upper blade: stepped edge
Lower blade: relief groove
With this shape, the scissors and stepped blade protrude
“cutter-style”and can be used
to cut tape.

When gripped
The shallow blade protrudes about 3mm, making it perfect for opening tape.
Limited effectiveness as a cutter
It only has the ability to cut tape.
Unlike a cutter, you can’t replace the blade.
That’s because it’s specialized for opening.
“Cut the tape” and “don’t damage the contents”
That’s the idea.
In other words, with this tool
“Don’t overdo it”
That’s what I’m saying(*´ω`*)


Slide the hand switch while gripping.
This is a safety feature.
If the blade came out just from gripping, it would be dangerous
So this consideration.
“Isn’t this a hassle?”
For those who think sousing “scissors”and“cutter”two tools would be better.

It’s “titanium coated” as a matter of fact
That black block above the blade? Looks significant, right?
Actually, it’s…

Sheath stopper & finger rest in cutter mode


Is it “really that great?” you might ask…
Honestly“it’s ordinary”*though the definition of ordinary is vague
Well, nothing special, nothing bad.
Using two tools, scissors and cutter
I’ve never had any surprising problems.
It’s probably also a matter of habit.
Once you get used to this “Hakoake,” you might not be able to use anything else.
It doesn’t cost much, so I think it’s worth trying.
