I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for the tip.

[Monocrom]

I just use one of my Spyderco knives.

[MAT888]

I might try that out with my officer SAK. Don't you hate these clamshells

[The Deacon]

I use scissors.

[CombatGrappler]

I've been using my Dodo. I imagine the can opener would do less damage to my fragile self if I slip while opening the package. I'll give it a shot.

[cyberspyder]

Rescue/medic shears anyone? Love them...cheap and can cut pretty much anything.

[Shenmue728]

clamshell packs are awful.

[Doc Pyres]

Wow, I'm glad it's not just me who hates these darn things. Nothing fun about skinning your hand trying to open a clampack. :mad:

My Bandsaw is the fastest and safest way to handle those clampacks.

Guess and table scroll saw would work just as well.....

[Dr. Snubnose]

I use a chainsaw..... :p Want to hold my clampack steady for me?....Doc :D

Clampacks are so much fun. Just the type of job for the hawkbill to show off the hawkbills capabilities.

Just sink the tip to form a hole, insert the blade in an inverted position, and pull the clampack along the blade. Works like a dream if your knife is sharp.

Very true. My cricket and my dodo are my favorites for this :D I think SE works better too...

But, a SE blade works well too, if you can use a single scallop, it's just like using a mini hawkbill

[DRod]

Tasman takes care of them pretty easily for me.

[JD Spydo]

I have a can opener device/tool on my Victorinox Swiss Tool X. I can see how that would work very well. Albeit I usually open any clampacks I need to open with the pocketknife I just happen to be carrying on that given day.

Now there are probably a dozen good ways to open those stubborn packages. But this can opener idea is a good one in that you could use it to where you wouldn't cut the merchandise inside the Clampack.

Now the ultimate knife to use is a Hawkbill. The Dodo is up till now the best knife I've ever used to open a Clampack. ANOTHER GREAT REASON TO OWN A HAWKBILL!!!

[KSDbass]

I just use a sawzall :)

[JT]

Hawkbill or bust for me! :D
Dodo has never failed me. Cricket if there's NKP around.

[Agent Starling]

Any hawk will do, they were made for it! The Byrdhawk (Crossbill), with its nice, pointy tip, is perfect for this! :D

Agent Starling :spyder:

[jzmtl]

I use my craftsman avation snips, no clam pack can stands up to that. :D

Gonna have to agree here.

Nothing like a Harpy, Tasman Salt, Cricket, or any other hawkbill for clampacks.

They put those things into submission. :)
