They're not lost, they're just surprise knives for future you.
I mean, 1, but we also have scissors.
If you can always find it, one is plenty!
Probably like 40-50 my rommate has a weird fascination with them. At some point they brought home a box if like 40 of the cheap ones. I assume it was part if some art thing they planed then never bothered with. Now they are all over the apartment.
Oh. Oh my. So, when a blade gets dull, you don't replace the blade... you replace the whole knife? That's some next-level utility knifing!

Not nearly enough box cutter for a properly seasoned house.
Several, and I'll have you know they're not "squirreled away." They're stored carefully next to the bolt cutters and tarps.
In my house, if they're not carefully hidden around the house, they're (a) never handy, and (b) prone to getting relocated such that they're (a) not handy.
1 in the garage, 2 in the basement. Plus a pocket knife on each floor.
You must open packages with the knives, and keep the utility knives for the big jobs.
When I worked in the supermarket, I would easily would have 4 hidden in different pockets and drawers.

At this point, there are probably at least 12 in various states of lost/found. I can currently locate 3.
This is a sign of dedication. Yours is the superior count.
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.

I should have 3 but 2 are missing somewhere.
Box cutters are elusive creatures. Cloths hangers and socks are rank amateurs in comparison.
I'm down to one, and it's just a small ceramic blade one.
I miss my old g6
Ceramic blades are nice for keeping an edge. Do you find it durable enough for the rough use it must get?
I eventually started buying more expensive carbide blades - they last far longer than regular steel, and I worry less about chipping.
It's alright. It still cuts after a year. But I'm not as confident with it doing heavy stuff.
2 that i return to their designated space after using. I think there's a third hiding somewhere
