I used to use them in the newspaper business for cutting up copy for pasting onto big proof sheets. Handy, since they were relatively safe to use and the blade can be retracted quickly. The other model is larger, often in a yellow plastic handle and fills a closed fist. These are commonly used as box cutters and for cutting carpet, tiles and other materials. Both knives have replaceable blades that snap off. The larger one, with about 1.5 in. of blade exposed would be an intimidating weapon. People inherently fear razor sharp knives like these. Amazing what the New York terrorist attackers did with about $ 50 in knives. One thing it did, though, is diminish George Bush's interest in the new flavor of Star Wars anti-missile program. Who gives a damn about the North Koreans now? Looks like George Bush needs an anti-box cutter program insteadĀ :-) --

American usage. The disambiguation page indicates that this is not the case, that the vernacular use, uncapitslized and genericized, is common in the UK and some English-speaking former UK colonies. More inline references are certainly needed, and this is a perfect illustration of why they are so critical to a good article. One person living in Australia may be unaware of the generic use of the name, just as most North Americans may be unaware, but there are millions in the trades, especially older workers, who use the term generically.

nomenclature, and encyclopedias require emic pagenames (both by unconscious convention and to a large extent by pedagogical necessity). The "pedagogical necessity", admittedly, lends some weight to the "cumbersome" observation. But unfortunately what that means is that covering the whole truth and teaching it to other people are not always compatible pursuits, based on the constraints of human cognition. So the content we see here so far is not horrible in the sense of "written by idiots" (I realize that no one here alleged that, but I'm just explicating generally).
