Our method using these tools has us cutting off the entire top. Some manufacturers, like Crescent Wiss, make heavy-duty scissors (which they call “tradesman shears) that can quickly get through even the toughest clamshell packaging. Work it around the package-always keeping the blade moving away from you.Įventually, you’ll have enough of the material sliced to peel it open and remove the contents safely. Once the packaging is pierced, the blade is inside. Insert your knife into the packaging point-first, but parallel to the flat side of the packaging. It was during this 15-minute epic man-vs-plastic battle that I realized a technique that seemed to work well. Did I mention that I was in the middle of moving and didn’t know where my scissors were, either? So there I was stuck trying to open four brand new batteries without a knife. I had an unfortunate accident that resulted in a bent clip, and I hadn’t had time to fix it. I remember one time when I was without my favorite EDC, the ZT 0707 knife. The problem with a pocket knife is that you cannot minimize blade exposure. You need a really sharp knife for it to work-in which case follow the directions above. We actually hate this method unless nothing else is available. Just be sure to note the position of your hands while you cut and don’t put yourself in a position where the blade can get loose on you and cut across your hands or fingers.
