I have one, it works OK, but for $11 the 'Zibra Open It' is MUCH better (plus, it comes in different colors!)

This product reminds me of the "AS SEEN ON TV" product that was recently on commercial. It is a square tool with the same blade that cuts these darn packages. It was selling for about $25 (S+H included), but it came in 2 pack and 2 bonus things.

Good kitchen scissors works great.

Mark: No joke. According to the ThinkGeek link: "Product comes in clam shell packaging"

O_o

Let me guess, the clamshell opener is packed in a plastic clamshell.

Personally i never had problems opening up those clamshell packages with kitchen knifes. The thing that drives me crazy though, is that i dont have a kitchenknife with me when i just bought a gadget in a store, which leads me to using my teeth because: who wants to wait opening up what they just bought?

I have one. Save your money, it's not very effective because the front tip is too big to be maneuvrable.

What I found to be the best solution to this problem is the cutting hook in the Leatherman Wave XTI. Punch a hold with the blade, slide the hook in and just pull to rip the clamshell apart.
