ever too sharp?

You ever try to open somthing(usually a box) and end up cutting all the way through? With a dull knife you can cut packing tape and not have to worry about anything(I have used my finger to cut it). With a spydie I must show some restraint. I even cut some cardboard on top of the trashcan and cut through the lid by mistake once.

Ye I know that all too well, Ive switched from my cricket to my loverly meerkat, I wear it below my first button on my work shirt (golf shirt).
The wire clip is less noticable and alot more elligant than the thick clip of the Cricket, so not many people pay attention to it.

I was cutting open boxes with new Dell PowerEdge servers in, I was cutting the packing tape n when I looked a second later there I was cutting right through the cardboard itself not even noticing that I was going through thick cardboard.

Not scary sharp, freaky sharp

I usually lay my index finger on the back spine of the blade at whatever distance from the tip to control the depth of cut.
