The Slice 10408 box cutter blades feature a pointed tip for applications that require piercing to initiate the cut. As with all Slice ceramic safety blades, our box cutter blades are non-sparking, non-magnetic, chemically inert, and safe up to 1600 degrees Celsius. They don’t require any special oil coating and will never rust. Use them with all Slice box cutters, pen cutters, and the Mini Cutter.

Slice box cutter blades (pointed tip) differ from our rounded tip blades in the way they initiate the cut. Rounded safety tips work well for most cuts but with some materials, the user needs the piercing action of a pointed tip to initiate a clean cut. For example, both shrink wrap and plastic banding benefit from the perforating action of a pointed tip.
Although we call these box cutter replacement blades, they actually work in several Slice tools, including both of our box cutters, both of our pen cutters, and the Mini Cutter.
As with all Slice ceramic blades, replacement is simple. The procedure varies depending on the cutting tool, but all Slice blade replacements are tool free. Some Slice tools even feature extra blade storage in the handle.
When you search how to change a box cutter blade, you’ll find many dangerous options for steel blades, including sharp, jagged snap-off blades and multi-step procedures that require extra tools. Slice’s finger-friendly edge and easy-to-handle blades make replacement a quick and simple job.
With Slice ceramic safety blades, blade disposal won’t require a special sharps box. All our ceramic blades are recyclable, as well. If facilities don’t exist near you, ship your blades to Slice and we’ll recycle them for you.
When it comes to Slice blades, replacement is as infrequent as it is easy. Independent third-party testing has proven that Slice blades last, on average, 11.2 times longer than steel blades. That means you’ll be changing your blades much less often, significantly reducing your chances of injury.
