Hey folks- My wife gets a lot of packages. Usually, I hand her my Opinel #8 (opened and locked) in an effort to keep her from using our nice kitchen scissors! But, recently she confessed she hated the Opinel. She felt like it would close on her. I guess I see her point- it might fold if you don't lock it. My other package-opening level of cheapness knife is a Victorinox paring. On the plus side, you don't have to unfold and lock it. On the minus side, it's a little flexible for the task.
Which leads me to a kiridashi. Is this a good type of knife for opening packages? Does handedness matter? I'm a lefty and my wife is a right. Looking for a cheap one- under $20 would be great.
Thanks for any help!
