The simple box cutters with replacement blades? Three.

However, I have a couple hundred objects that can be used to cut boxes :)

Yah, I meant utility knives specifically.

I've used a fingernail to open boxes, but I only use replaceable blade knives to cut boxes down for recycling.

I tend to prefer regular knives for box breakdown tbh. The utility blades flex and tend to skip easier. I can break out a sodbuster or something similar and they're solid enough to not flex on me. I have a lockback version of the sodbuster form factor that's sweet on cardboard for me.
