Holy mackerel! Such finesse. Makes me feel like a neanderthal.OK... I read every post in this thread. I'm very disappointed no one suggested using a hair dryer on High to soften the glue on the flaps. It sure works for softening the glue so you can remove annoying labels they add to most every product under the sun.
Heating them up might ever melt those wax tabs. <eg>
“No Mr. Bond…I expect you to die.”The James Bond?
Why didn’t the bad guys just shoot Bond in the head immediately after capture, anyways?
Nooooo… they need to tell him all about their evil plans then leave him all alone to die in some ridiculously inefficient device that he always gets out of. Morons.
But I digress…

I got mine later than that.. mid 80's, I think.I've had that knife over 40 years.
Always wear eye protection, doggone!This always works best for me. Hope this helps!

You’re right. It is a dumb questionMaybe it's a dumb question, but is there a "right" way to open a tuck? If I tear the box open starting from the slit on the back, the tab that's left doesn't always fit back in properly. Now all the blades can slide out into a jumbled mess in my ziplock bag of blades. With Voskhod's in the bottom picture that tab comes right off so you can't seal the box at all.
I've found that bending the box back from the slit and tearing through the thickness works pretty well, as shown in the top box and the closeup.
Anybody have another way to do it?

Like so:

Which sometimes works out great, but more often than not... not so great (if you are a tidiness and detail freak).
Let me just have a swig of my favorite medicine before continuing:

Here's my "detail freak" special method:
Using a stationery scalpel, carefully separate the glued end flaps (just one end of course ):

Fold the flaps out and remove your blade:

Fold the flaps back and return the pack into its container (along with its friends ):
