Slice
Slice, based in Florida, was founded in 2008 by TJ Scimone. Always looking for new ideas, he collaborated with renowned designers to reimagine everyday cutting products, making them safer and easier to use. Since that time, Slice has developed a collection of award-winning safety cutters that increase productivity, lower costs, and, most importantly, reduce injuries. Slice tools are now used in major industries around the world. Scimone founded Slice as a way to help fund long-term care for his autistic son. One percent of all Slice sales are donated to autism research. Slice values safety, innovation, quality, simplicity, and community. These core values are evident in everything we do, from tool design to customer service.
Why Ceramic Blades? Slice blades are wider and include a small micro edge that does the actual cutting. The grind angles create a blade that cuts materials effectively, but resists cutting skin. Slice blades disperse their pressure, requiring much more force to pierce skin’s tough outer layer than narrow steel blades. Slice ceramic blades offer many other advantages over steel. They:
- Never rust
- Are chemically inert
- Don’t require any oily coating or lubricant
- Are safe up to 1600 degrees Celsius
- Are non-sparking, non-conductive, and non-magnetic
- Are maintenance-free
- Don’t require sharps box disposal
- Are recyclable
- Are safe for clean rooms
The Slice 10514 Mini Box Cutter is the ideal small form factor safety cutter for those that value convenience. The ceramic blade screams SAFETY FIRST and wont damage yourself or your valuable goods. If you need a deep dive into this mini box cutter, then keep reading for the detailed review below.

How do you change the blade on the Slice 10514 Mini Box Cutter?
The Slice 10514 mini box cutter has a convenient tool-free blade change procedure. It takes no more than few minutes to replace the blade using the following instructions:
First, make sure that the blade is fully retracted. This will be the default state with your 10514 Auto-Retractable Mini Cutter.
Flip your box cutter over and look for the lock/unlock icons on the end of the tool. Slide the color-coded locking mechanism to the unlocked position. Separate the two halves by gently pulling them apart with your fingers.
You’ll now see the blade resting in the slider cavity. Note that the blade has two usable cutting ends. Flip the blade around so that the previously unused end is now in position to be exposed when the slider is engaged. This gives you twice as much use from a single blade, making Slice tools an economical choice.
Now take the top and slide it back onto the housing. You’ll hear it snap into place when it’s properly seated. Lastly, slide the locking mechanism from the unlocked to the locked position. Now your Mini Cutter is ready for action!
What replacement blades does the Slice 10514 Mini Box Cutter use?
The Slice 10514 mini box cutter is compatible with Slice 10404 and Slice 10408 replacement blades. Because Slice products are unique, no other replacement blades can fit this mini box cutter.
Slice cutters use a ceramic blade (Zirconium Oxide) that is harder, sharper, and more durable than stainless steel blades. The trade-off is a higher upfront cost for a blade that lasts longer.
Ceramic blades reduce injury and reduce damage to merchandise. If you've never tried a ceramic blade cutter before then this is a good start because of its convenient size and portability.

Very convenient tool and I love that cutting doesn’t require much effort. No more frustration- I keep one of these and I can quickly and quietly open any package or cut any string I encounter.
Parker –
It has a magnet built-in! Very cool and I didn’t see that in the description. I carry this around in my pocket and when I don’t it’s stuck to my metal wall.
