I need something sharp to open packages sealed with packing tape on a regular basis when I travel. Will this do the trick?

Yes it will but you need to use it harder than usually knife to work but it will get the job done.

Yes I've opened many packaged with it over the year. Though I do admit it takes a little more pressure than a traditional box cutter does. It's a great tool to keep in your pocket. �

Yes, this is actually perfect for what you need it for. It will get the job done and it has so many other features you will probably use on a daily basis. It's also TSA approved so it's perfect for when you travel. And it fits in your wallet so it's always accessible to you. I literally use this everyday.

I would say yes, but if you travel by plane I can't see this getting through the TSA. Maybe in a checked bag?

Possibly, But even though the manufacturer claims it's TSA approved - TSA confiscated mine. I even had the original packaging. I contacted the company, but they never replied.

While it will definitely cut corrugated cardboard, the blades are a little short for making a cut all the way through on one pass. I usually need a second pass to cut all the way through.

I am not sure that this will do the job you are hoping to do...I have heard of the foam knifes being used to cut stamps, but the ones I have heard of doing so are hot knifes. This cuts foam board well because it has the blade for the paper and the heat for the foam. I think you need more heat than what this will give you.

I would say yes - it's great tape - really seals things closed. Great quality.

the spine is a little more than a cm thick. i use it mainly for opening packages or cutting 550 cords. about your question is this knife good for slicing, I would say it can hold a sharp edge, so yes. however the size of the task would affect the effectiveness of this small blade.

Absolutely, I've found this to be one of the best survival/backpack/small sharpeners on the market today... Get some jewelers rouge for the strop-side to assist in BEYOND SHAVING SHARPNESS on any half decent blade. it will also help the leather last longer... I bought one for my toolbox shortly after I bought the first one for home...

forget locking it (*snip*) -- just use some small tie-wraps to tell you if it has been opened. if you are traveling to a truly sketchy part of the world, have your luggage completely "wrapped" in one of those shrink-wrap places.

Unless that by knife you mean a machete, I would say NO, the tape is too thick for that use and you will have a thick handle on that knife, depending on the knife I would recommend paracord look it up in YouTube.

The one I received was sharp enough to slice through a sheet of paper with no problem.

I believe so... I LOVE this paper cutter. I have had it over a year and am the envy of my coupon cutter friends! It's light weight and very sharp. I take it with me to work to clip on breaks and it's small enough I can sit in recliner and clip coupons with it.

I am not well versed in knives. I just bought it to replace the one I had to leave with TSA. My apologies.

I recommend using the tips of a sharp pair of scissors to snip the zip tie...from experience, it's easier and much less dangerous than using a utility knife.

I would say no. Its perfect for covering books and mailing packages. It light enough to be easy to fold and holds tape well

My suggestion is that this tool is firmly secured to the back of the packaging and with a box cutter or screwdriver it will probably come out with a little extra pressure. It is a wonderful tool so it is worth a little extra pressure to get it out.

If, it can open up from the exterior with a currency or a plane screwdriver. leave in the pictures of the Web of Amazón

I don't have any experience with the ZDP189. I own and have been carrying the VG-10 which serves me just fine. I've only had it for a few weeks during which time I've used it to open a dozen or more cardboard packages, and several plastic clam-shell packs. It's also sliced a few apples (kind of a trick with such a short blade, but easy once you've done it a few times), made shavings and fuzz sticks for a camp fire, cut a bunch of paracord for tarp tie-outs, and probably dozens of other small cutting tasks that I'm forgetting about. . . I usually find several tasks for it just about every day. So far I haven't needed to sharpen it. This morning I used it to brake down a large cardboard box to pieces small enough to fit into our recycling container, and it cut better than a utility knife. Hopefully this will give you some idea of the edge holding ability of the VG-10. I'm definitely not a steel snob or steel junkie. . . I still use my original Dragonfly with the AUS-8 steel, and have never found a reason to complain about it either. Personally, I'd say save a bit of money and go with the VG-10 unless you expect it to see some very heavy use.

No, wish it did. Very sharp. I retained the cardboard packaging. Works well to protect it.
