Easier to conceal and being an office tool?

Boxcutters are readily available in Japan stores and can be sold to teens?

A kitchen knife doesn't have a built-in sheathe, so it could rip their schoolbag or something and therefore also isn't suitable for carrying on their person. Also if they're caught it looks less explicitly malicious than a kitchen knife. Man you're a brainlet.

its cute

It's fucking extendable you dumb shit. What are you, blind?

You can extend it for deep cuts or keep it small to open a fucking box or slice someone's dick just enough to engage into some bloodplay. You think a pussy faggot ass knife is gonna have the same layer of complexity as a god damned alpha male box cutter?

Get the fuck out of here

>The virgin knife
>The Chad boxcutter

Why am I tuned on?

Ask the 9/11 hijackers

>s-senpai no, don't push there! I'm gonna-
>KLKLKLKLKLK

cause no one regulates office supplies

It probably doubles up as their method of cutting themselves for attention.

We need to ban assault box cutters.

Light and compact
Can be bought almost anywhere
Very sharp
Inconspicuous

You could also use scissors but they're a lot more unwieldy

Try cutting yourself with a kitchen knife and then with a boxcutter.
One is much easier, and allow more precision.

otaku draw what they know

Because nips are stupid. Boxcutter is an HORRIBLE weapon for few things.

>Blade can break easily and is thin
>Only good for slashing when the most effective use of a knife is stabbing

Those are the main reasons its shit.

>But its easily conceivable as it can be extended
Thats fucking stupid. Knife that isnt extendable can be concealed just as easily while being much more effective. Just get pick related. Its small, comes with a holster and can fuck people up.

The concept of boxcutters is retarded

It's not a knife, it's a boxcutter. Why the fuck would you be stabbing with it?

>Boxcutter
>Knife
>Razor is a knife too

Fucking retard

They're just hardcore bullying not murdering.

Folding knives are the best kind of knives

Because it is retractable. Plus, you could just reason out that you need it for your school project after getting caught carrying it.

Because they are small and sharp as fuck.

T. a man who once got 30 stiches because of this shit.

boxcutters brought America to its knees

when any redblooded american sees a boxcutter they think of 9/11 and shed a few tears

not sure why japs fear the boxcutter

I thought they cried when they saw a rice paddy

You won't get arrested if you're caught carrying around a boxcutter.

>Blade can break easily and is thin
Glorious Nippon boxcutters (folded over 1000 times) don't break so easily.

japanese children used to carry these little folding pen knives

pretty sure the only reason they use box cutters is because they are easier to draw than a folding knife

Whats the difference? If youre going to stab or slash someone then at least make sure they dont talk

because it's practically a miniature katan

TENNOHEIKA

BANZAI

Not everyone is a straight-up psychopath like you sempai.

>YAMETE MARIKO!

Because of publicity given to real life unfeminine crimes committed with them.

Kitchen knives are not easily concealable

That isn't your average box cutter, it's a superior Japanese box cutter folded 1000 times stronger than any western knife. I don't expect a baka gaijin like you to understand though.

>stabbing is the most effective use of a knife

Enjoy having your knife get stuck in bone and being disarmed. Maybe if you used it to rend through soft flesh instead you could do more damage.

>japanese children used to carry these little folding pen knives
For what purpose?

Why did he attack? And why is it a recording of a recording?

who was in the wrong?

The answer to both your questions is because they're Chinese.

It's clean and doesn't leave any nasty permanent marks of you don't want it to.

t.knife

Im not a psychopath, just a pragmatic user. Either way physical violence is a bad way to bully someone compared to psychological.

Learn to stab kouhai

Maybe I'm just too American, but someone pulling out a knife or a box cutter has always broken my suspension of disbelief and made me wonder why no one is killing the wielder.

Everything about this video is perfect.

Nanako, because she wouldn't accept the box of razors which she could have used to defend Mariko in an ironic twist.

This defeats the entire purpose of a boxcutter.

Jews fear the samurai.

>Boxcutter is an HORRIBLE weapon for few things.

I agree for the most part because I deal with people with weapons for a living, however y'all are either too young, or I'm too old.... because I remember a boxcutter was still good enough to hijack planes and take down a few buildings about 16 years ago.

Because box cutters aren't too weird to bring to school.

Nevada-tan used a box cutter.

Cheap, easy to find/buy (especially for teens), convient to carry around in a pocket or bag, not as blatant or suspicious of a weapon as a full on knife like a kitchen or butterfly knife.

Its not about how effective it is or actually killing someone with it. Its about posturing, threatening, feeling like a big man for carrying around something potentially dangerous. The teens who carry them around aren't out to kill someone, they just want to feel tough and use it as a threat.

The more serious and fucked up ones do carry actual knives.

It defies physics to hit it's target.

>The teens who carry them around arent out to kill someone
nigga what?

Now that's autism.

It's just /k/.

Because you can bring them to school.
Do you think students carry kitchen knives on their backpacks?

Most of current Sup Forums userbase is probably younger than Nevada-tan

Should have had used something else

What the fuck, the majority of Sup Forums doesn't know about Nevada-tan now?

I'm a newfag who came long after, and I know.

Accessibility.

retard

>why dont people know some obscure lunatic

no u

>fucking newfags

>What the fuck, man?

Boxcutters are normal tools people carry around all the time
Kitten knives obviously aren't

Why is it that 100% of threads asking a question on Sup Forums are completely retarded? No really, pay attention everytime you see a thread start with the word "Why", it's shit every single time.

...

>carrying boxcutters is normal
no it isnt

This is the most stupid comment I have seen this evening.

Girls slash other girls' faces to make them ugly when they're fighting over who gets to be chad's bottom bitch

>using boxcutter
>not using sewing needle to stab into base of neck and puncture spinal cord between brain and heart
>not puncturing the esophagus with a construction nail causing lungs to deflate
>not strangling them with piano-wire
>not simply twisting their neck with bare hands
baka elevens can't into concealed murder weapons worth shit.

>Kitten knives obviously aren't

>carry full knife roll
>put chef apron and hat in bag
>know a few french food words
>???

*teleports behind u*

So getting stabbed in the head really doesn't kill you like in the movies

>what is a skull

>responding to ironic shitposting with unironic memeposting

Also best mode is tripping them so they fall in front of a train.

>kitten knives

If you have to trip someone to fall in front of a train, they're already walking in front of a train.

...

Ugh, the mental image of being cut by those things gives me the willies, especially if it's on the finger joints or the throat.

Someone actually stabbed a guy with a box cutter at my old high school. Fucking stupid too, cuz the cop tackled him immediately after. Only surprising thing was how relatively calm everyone was. I mean, yeah, it was a hick school, but there wasn't even have an announcement about the incident; life just went on normally.

I don't know what a kitten knife is, but it sounds adorable.

Someone post that scene from Onii-sama e. Sent a chill down my spine.

Only a matter of time until Britain passes a law.

...

They haven't already? Then why is it illegal for a teenager to buy a fucking spoon over there?

Guns are illegal in Japan, you fucking retard.

I didn't know that kitchen knives were a type of gun.

A boxcutter could still slice important bloods vessels open like the ones on the wrists or at the neck.

>Bin that cutter or you wake up in a gutter

Box cutters are way sharper than a kitchen knife and have superior grips

yeah, and kitchen knives are easier to put in your pocket, right?

Box cutters are by far one of the most common types of blades you could come across, and no one would really think twice about you having one. Hell, if you work at a place that regularly goes through boxes, they just give them away. Obviously you would stab people with them, but they're still dangerous.

wouldn't stab*

I don't know whether they are. I only know OP specified kitchen knives as an alternative.

The truth is actually because mangaka always have boxcutters on hand and use it as a reference.

>wake up
user...

With a kidney missing or something?

>sharp as fuck olfa

Being an amerifat all my life, it always feels strange hearing about other countries and their ban on weapons from guns to tiny sharp objects meanwhile my neighbors let his 5-8 year old kids shoot guns that can tear down trees. Yes he's actually did this. No matter what you'll always hear someone shooting their guns in some parts of the country.
