Following up on my previous post about finding the ultimate "slicey" edge. A lot of you suggested a utility knife, so I did a side-by-side comparison between my Miguron Vakor and a Standard Utility Handle with brand new Fiskars Pro blades whilst doing push cuts to break down large boxes.
I personally found the utility blade limiting when cutting thick cardboard. The short blade length means you're stuck with a pure push cut and more effort was needed to plough my way through the cardboard.
With the Vakor, I could utilise the full belly of the blade to add a slicing motion to the push cut by angling the tip downward as I cut ( you can see the angled scratch marks on the blade ). This addition made the push cut feel effortless.
I am curious if anyone else has done a similar comparison or landed on the opposite conclusion when push cutting thick cardboard.

I don’t use utility knives unless I’m cutting some wrapping off some steel at work. Pocket knife works just as well in almost every single situation.
